Falling in love with a half-Maia, having to earn aSilmaril to wed her [touching it in the process], die by a werewolf's bites, your half-divine lover asking Mandos to release the both of you.....---->living again for a brief while.
Seriously, I think there is no other way.... and speaking of ripping and tearing and storing spirits in objects, where has thhat occured? Surely the Ring when Sauron made it begot life of its own(?)
