"I mean before she loses people-- other elves that are close to her. The shock from that when totally unprepared might just completely break someone. I mean, just consider for a moment literally being near immortal. And then suddenly your friends and family start dying." Eldrian explained.
"It will completely shatter your reality, and that is not even mentioning the grief and anger that would follow."
"It's normal that the loss of a loved one can send us into a truly dark place for weeks, months, sometimes even years. Just imagine what it would be like when before, death was an abstract concept you didn't even really understand."
"Sure, they know of it and they know it happens to everyone and that it can even happen to them. But that difference between knowing and understanding, it can make all the difference."
