Epilogue
Once Boromir had departed Eswen felt empty so she went to the Houses of Healing where she asked Ioreth to instruct her in herb-lore. Ioreth could see Eswen's hurt so agreed to teach her. She taught her herb-lore and many other things. The old woman also became her friend and the two of them talked about many things.
She dedicated herself to the Houses and stay behind when the women and children left to go to a safer place. Oft her eyes would scan the horizon in the hopes that Boromir would be returning. But every time she could not see him.
When the news of Boromir's death reached her she was distraught. She grieved and Ioreth tried to comfort her but as war fell on Minas Tirith grief had to be turned aside. She worked as hard as she could treating the various wounds that the soldiers had gained and was present when Aragorn healed Faramir, Éowyn and Meriadoc.
Learning that the two hobbits in the city had travelled with Boromir she talked a little with them, as did Faramir. She found that speaking with them helped to heal her hurt.
After Aragorn was made king and his marriage to Arwen Eswen departed to Ithilien with Faramir and his bride Éowyn. There she became a maid and good friend to Éowyn and lived in Ithilien until all her years were spent.
