Having lived and died more than once, your own death isn't to be feared. Fear the deaths of your loved ones because that is what breaks your heart.
JRR Tolkien knew about PPD in Miriel.

I have tried to put up an amazing Lord of the Rings video and as of late i have received a strike against my channel for it and the video is taken down, so i am not sure when but i will keep looking, or do the reading ourselves but really the one i had up was an amazing production you can find it here to listen if you want, archive.org/details/the-fellowship-of-the-ring_soundscape-by-phil-dragash it is epic
I think this was amazingly well done as well but I can't figure out how to get each chapter to autoplay in sequence.I'm not very tech savvy nor do I wish to be.@@expandinghorizons8223
not sure but i have put them up in full volumes, check playlist and i do think you might be able to move the playlist around to your liking, just arrange it volume I II III maybe that could work

As an independent researcher, I've discovered evidence that Edgar Allan Poe's claim to have written "The Raven" was a scam. So was his essay, "The Philosophy of Composition," in which he reverse-engineers the poem, pretending to explain how he had written it. "The Raven" was, as I have discovered, written by Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier, in December of 1841 based on real-life circumstances.
