The manner of Fitz becoming "whole" is a fantasy concept.

I believe we are discussing a fantasy book series.

Fitz was literally beaten to death. He did not need those missing memories to live on.

In Robin's world, he did. He couldn't be completely himself without the whole of himself. There's this concept she writes about in her books, maybe you recall it, called Forging. You know - becoming a shell of a human by having all your memories and emotions thrown in to a chunk of Skill rock. Parts of Fitz were given up to the Skill rock, so he was a semi-Forged human. I believe Robin saw this moment coming from miles away based on the fact she brings up Forging in the very first book, and Fitz semi-Forges himself at the end of the third book.
