History TearJerker / Sansukh

** When Gimli finally brings back word of what happened in Moria, Dori, Dwalin, Gloin, and Bofur all share a moment commiserating and supporting each other in their grief at being the last of their siblings. This extends to Dís as well.
* When Gimli is missing Lóni, Flói, and Frár - the friends who went to Moria and never returned - and jokingly wonders if he ought to take up with one of Bombur's children who have developed a crush on him. Thorin unintentionally makes him feel worse when he sternly reminds Gimli that Alfur is a child - at which Gimli, subconsciously picking up on his words, bitterly says that he cannot even joke with himself anymore.

* After getting to know all of the other dwarves, Moria - and Gimli's reaction to it - is even more heartbreaking.

* As Thorin, thanks to a lot of CharacterDevelopment, realises, Elrond is both joyful and deeply sad when Arwen marries Aragorn, something Gandalf picks up on. And if you know Elrond's history, then you know that if anything, Gandalf is understating things.

--> Gimli: I miss my friends. They laugh and smile.

* Boromir's slow descent into madness as the Ring tightens its hold on him is made even worse than canon by Thorin's observation, because he knows ''exactly'' what is happening - he has been there and suffered that. Thanks to both that and Boromir's sense of duty, he identifies very strongly with the man. This makes the inevitable end, including Boromir's last stand, all the worse, as Thorin has a RageAgainstTheHeavens moment, howling that Boromir deserved better.
* The reveal that Tauriel died trying to reclaim Dol Guldur. And that Kili watched, and has been repressing his grief and the truth that she was his OneTrueLove for most of a century for his uncle's sake.

* Dís's grief after Thorin's, Fíli's, and Kíli's deaths. Her parents, husband, and brother are already gone, and now her big brother and both her children are gone too.

* Thorin mourning Boromir.
