Cynni's Blog<p><strong>Grateful for Bas 🐾</strong></p>
<p>Dealing with the loss of Arwen hit me hard. Maybe it was harder because I had just suffered a major trauma… But I know it hit me hard because she and I had a very special bond. Everyone that knew us always said that we were so in-sync together. One look from her to me, or from me to her, and we just knew… That’s probably also why I struggle with it some more, because I am feeling guilty because I wasn’t able to detect how much she must have been struggling before I went back to the hospital. When I got out, that’s when she didn’t have the spoons anymore to hide her pain anymore…</p>
<p>The house was empty, only filled with tears and sadness. We all deal with grief in different ways… But one thing I think both mum and I struggled with… That quiet emptiness in the house… So when dad said that Bas was being a tad annoying with him, mum offered to take him for a few days. And that made a big difference, for mum and me, but I guess also for Bas. </p>
