My Sword Weeps - Book Two - 'My Sword' Series  by Agape4Gondor 2 Review(s)

Excellent advice from the elven brothers - grief can, in fact, kill. I've lost track of the number of older folks I've cared for who've died only to have their spouse pass away a short time later.

And oh, I hope they don't go to Angrenost. Saruman's not likely to be help, he's more likely to try and mess them up.

Author Reply: I found it also interesting that Elrohir was able to share and Elladan was not. Grief's manifestations are so different, person to person. I'm hoping some of this will help Ell with his own grief.

And Aragorn, though he has seen death, has not experienced it in the familial sense. Seems to me, with his running all over the Angle, etc., that he and Gilraen did not see each other much. I wonder if she 'blocked' him to protect his heart?

Life is interesting.

Thanks for reading and replying!

Oh, dear--visit Saruman, when he is probably the one behind the assassinations? Don't do it, Aragorn, unless you are VERY, very wary.

Author Reply: I found it fascinating in ROTK that Saruman falls under Sauron's spell almost immediately after he uses the Palantir. In 2989, his treachery was still unknown, but I believe it was there, hiding in the caves and tunnels of Angrenost.

Thanks so much for reading and responding. It does NOT look good for our three.
