However, at the same time, I think it may have been easier to depart in the end because she had nothing to keep her.

Indeed,
Kuruharan.
Boromir's death, though rather untimely, is truly awesome, especially he died while doing some good (i.e. defending the hobbits Merry and Pippin). I loved Faramir's description of his brother as he saw him floating in a both down the Anduin, saying that his face was more beautiful than that in life.
And Fingolfin's death is another awesome death. Though terribly dreadful, it was courageous. 'Nuff said.
Finrod's death battling the wolf was definitely awe-inspiring. Imagine him dying to save Beren, killing his enemy with only his bare hands and teeth...it brings tears to my eyes. It's a good thing, though, that he got to be together with his father Finarfin again.
But one death everybody seemed to miss is Huan's.

Huan in that hour slew Carcharoth; but there in the woven woods of Doritath his own doom long spoken was fulfilled, and he was wounded mortally, and the venom of Morgoth entered into him. Then he came, and falling beside Beren spoke for the third time in words; and he bade Beren farewell before he died. Beren spoke not, but laid his hand upon the head of the hound, and so they parted.

I think that the most awesome deaths are those that occured after doing a great and heroic deed.
