“Poor Faramir,” said Merry. “We need him to see there are many who care about him

Yes indeed, Merry! Good thinking.

Author Reply: Merry is a wise hobbit.

Oh dear. From fire to water. But I think people are watching over him now?

Pippin probably feels responsible for Faramir since he was the one who followed Denethor, realised Faramir’s deadly peril, and ran for help.

Frodo and Sam are still recovering… would Pippin still be recovering too, since he got up for the first time only a day before Frodo and Sam?

Author Reply: I do not touch much on hobbit recovering or maybe just mention a more subdued Frodo in a coming chapter.
Pippin does feel responsible and we will have more of him in Merry helping Faramir. :)

Oh good. Athelas and a caring uncle. (I like Imrahil here. Very perceptive, empathetic, understanding and encouraging. I can see how he is a leader of Men.)

Author Reply: I was wondering how to write Imrahil since it's my first time. I'm glad my Imrahil works for you!

Another dream that needs to be changed. May he find succor before he gives himself to the wave.

I pray he resists the temptation to drink himself into oblivion. At least his uncle's presence should aid him in keeping hold on life.

Author Reply: I was reading another fic that had him even more depressed and it was upsetting indeed but these are rather trying times post War.

So, at last the collapse happened. At least he was not alone, and now he is receiving the aid he deserves. Bless Aragorn for his gifts and skills.

Author Reply: Yes, we are happy to have a healing King who will take a great part in this story.

Now the whole of the Fellowship is on the watch for Faramir's welfare. But is it enough?

Author Reply: We will see if it is or is not. :)

Deciding what should be done with personal items can be a puzzle. But we cannot hold onto everything.

Alcohol cannot be the ultimate answer, as Faramir will learn.

Author Reply: Yes, i think it would have been hard at first and of course when one is depressed or suffering from PTSD, we resort to anything to numb the pain.

Action can help in times of grief, but only in moderation, as I learned after the death of my spouse. So many now care for Faramir's welfare.

Author Reply: It's always tough to lose family and it takes time to grief. Yes, i want everyone to care for Faramir esp. since he lost those closest to him.
