Well, yeah, what you said. The thing is, Nimrodel is too broken to take ship alone. Amroth can't take her, because he can't "take" Mellondu. Erebemlin could escort her there I suppose but his heart is in Middle-earth now, with Marigold. Anyway, she's too messed up. Mithrellas could take her but Mithrellas has Roy Edwards, on the other hand, to deal with. Or something.

Nimrodel needs a new start; a rebirth. That she can have, if she dies; her rebirth (reincarnation, via new parents, and a new family, elvish style) will be a healing experience for her. And Amroth will then be free to do the same. THey will have a lovely future, all healed up and young again.

THe trick is getting Nimrodel to finally die and go to Mandos. (Amroth is still there, really, having drownded quite thoroughly.) And since elves can only either be killed, or die of a broken heart, well, we have some options for getting Nimrodel to join him. I had planned on the broken-heart bit. But we can discuss it.
