“Which path will you take?”
“I was planning on going past Angrenost. Then, through to Edoras. The Rohirrim will lend me another horse. I will leave yours with them until I can claim it again. Then, on to Minas Tirith.”
“May we ride with you at least to Tharbad?” Estel turned quickly and looked at the sad faces of his brothers. “We would be no bother, we promise.”
He smiled warmly. “I would be most pleased to have your company.”
hmmm Saruman won’t do anything to him will he?
“And his mother died in peace in Imladris” She died in 3007 among the Dunedain.
“Though I bitterly fought such things while I was in Thengel’s service, and Denethor’s.” ah. I suppose.
“We reach Angrenost in a short time, Estel. Will you visit the wizard before we pass?” hmmm.

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.
