She followed not their departure to Middle-earth, choosing instead to remain in Aman. In Middle-earth, Aikanáro brother of Angaráto fell in love with the mortal woman A N D R E T H. Though their love was great, they never married, and Andreth outlived her elvish lover in a cruel twist of fate. Eldalótë and Andreth never met, but Andreth felt a kinship to the woman sundered also from her love by cruel fate. When Angaráto was at last reunited with his wife after his rebirth in Valinor, Eldalótë heard the tale of Aikanáro and Andreth and wept, returning the feeling to the woman long since departed from this world. -- source link
