Thank you so much, Larner! What a poignant moment, and one that could have very well have taken place as they all finally found time to catch their breaths and look back at the losses they endured on their way to victory. You've written Aragorn handling the situation perfectly.

Thank you so much, Cairistiona. Such a moment must have happened, with something to spark the full realization of Faramir's losses. And by this time in his life Aragorn must have come to fully appreciate the need to express grief properly.

And I pray that your birthday was delightful.

I'm glad that Faramir finally had a chance to mourn and Aragron and Frodo with him. Very moving.

I'm always honored to learn a piece I've written has moved someone! Thank you so, Addie.

All things must come in their times. To have the time to grieve and the ability to spend that time is a great gift. Wonderfully visualized as always, my dear.

I know from experience the truth of this. Thank you so, Erilisse.

Each of them needed both to be allowed to mourn and to be there for the others as each dealt with his own grief. Thanks so, Mews.

grief relieved is less bitter than grief restrained. how well you bring this moment to life.

I've lost enough of my own to appreciate how needful it is to express grief constructively and fully. Thanks so, Nancy.
