Galadriel also has a pretty impressive list of horrors.

  • saw the Two Trees die
  • grandfather murdered by one of the gods before murder even was a thing
  • witnessed the massacre of her mother's kin
  • cursed by the Valar
  • walked across the Helcaraxë
  • saw the rise and fall of the Noldorin kingdoms of Beleriand
  • escaped the sack of Menegroth
  • present in the War of Wrath and the following ruin of Beleriand
  • rules Eregion with Celeborn until Sauron's attack destroys the realm, escapes to Lothlórien
  • daughter captured and tortured by orcs, leaves to the West heavily traumatized
  • high royalty born into literal paradise, ends up holding the last pieces of elven civilization in Middle-Earth together and ruling over a forest

It's like her life was a game of Crusader Kings 2/3 😄

Sees the most valiant and wise of men personally blessed by the Valar turn around and try to wage war against them because they aren't content with only living 5-10x longer than normal men. It's a wonder she still gives them the time of day.
