Oof. This was a rough read for me. Not just because of what I said over on Notes, but because my older brother was a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan and I lost him to cancer about 5 years ago. It's been a while since I've read the books, but damn, does that ending really align with how it feels to lose someone.

Patricia, I'm so sorry to hear about both the unexpected loss of your husband's father but also about the loss of your older brother. Death, grief, and loss take so much from us and when it's unexpected or traumatic everything is compounded. I ache hearing about your losses. I am glad that what I shared here connected with your experience, though I'm sorry for any ways it has added to or reopened your pain. Thank you for reading and for sharing how it impacted you.
