[Rings of Power] why do elves even mourn their dead when they all respawan in Valinor anyway? and Valinor is a real place all elves visit eventually.

SPOILERS



If i remember well, in the second age when the show takes place, you can come and go to Valinor, it's not yet a  one way street. But ok, maybe in the show it is a one way street and when elves go back to Valinor, there's no going back to Middle-Earth.

Besides, Galadriel will end up there eventually anyway.

So why does she mourn and want to avenge her brother when his soul is out there in Valinor waiting to be respawned in a new body someday.

Sure it might happen in a decade, or next year, or thousand years later, but still, she's 100% that they'll meet again there someday, and a few hundred years is like maybe five years for elves, a decade is a blink of an eye for them. And there's no doubt that they'll meet again.


So why mourn and avenge?

Well, we have real world religions that believe in eventual reunion with lost loved ones, yet they still go through those emotions.

You are still losing something with death, and you mourn that loss.
