Positive thoughts on being dead in Middle-earth:
You get to haunt Middle-earth for a much longer time than the average lifespan...which I am sure we would all relish
(excepting elves, maiar, and the event of any such magic as would expell you from the Middle-earth spirit world)
Enter and exit barrows without using the door
Creep out the unsuspecting
Watch battles without fear of death
More time to learn the lore of the hobbits, elves, and the other free peoples of ME
So for any who are oddly bemused at being dead here in the barrows, which at first reading I was, there are positives to being dead in ME. I won't dwell on the negative aspects, that's not the sort of dead thing I am (currently).
