Airehiriel:

First of all, welcome!

Now to answer your question: Yes, I understand what you mean because when I read the last line of RoTK I felt the same way!

I hated to say goodbye to Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, Arwen, Eomer, Eowyn, and Faramir! I hated to say goodbye because I had gone through so much with these people and through it all they all became as dear to me as my friends in real life!

When I read the last line of RoTK, I sighed because I knew that no matter how many times I reread LOTR I will never have the same experience again as I did reading it for the first time!

It's hard to say goodbye to the people of Middle-Earth and it's an experience I will
never forget!
