I don't know how to resolve the glen at the Gilraen. I think we do need an "Oh, my goodness; it's over; now we can all go home" moment. I haven't given it any thought. What would that be like, among two elves, several Rohirrim, a scattering of other menfolk, and your Raefindan/Mithrellas/Indil family?
After all they have been through, I don't think they'd just scatter after a five minute goodbye.
I need to look at a map.
And I need to think about how this group of people would say goodbye to each other. Or would they all turn, together, and leave the glen, and travel together back to a place (which, I suppose, could be done in a single well-written post... TOlkien often did these things in a paragraph) , and say goodbye there? I guess that makes more sense. Would it be Minas Tirith?
