A Mortal Life
When Arwen chooses the mortal life deos that mean she goes to human heaven of elf heaven. Cuz I mean if she went to the human one then ELrond would literally never ever ever see her again which might be why he was so incredibly sad about her going with Aragron.

Radagast, I think that they're trying to encourage people to start new threads if the other is too old (dunno what they define as too old tho'), in order to stimulate new debate and encourage newbies. It is tedious to have to comb through a giant 10+ pager full of old debate!!
However, the link you posted is probably okay though, so I guess I should just shut me gob.

Well I thought it would just be pleasant to have a palce to discuss her death and not just her life. You know I think they are different discussions but that is for the mods or admins to decide.

But they could meet againg because surely Elrond could be killed. You never know maybe some corsairs attacked their ship so the never reached Valinor?

Then in a way men are better off for dying.

Thats why its a hard choice for Elronds children because its Immortality on this earth or go to something else which nobody knows about but is there. Its a terribole chocie but I would go with men because when the world is destroyed what happens to the Elves' spirits I would assume they would end as well.

TD: Yes, you may say that death is the Gift of Eru to Men.

yeah I mean if Arwen had died when she was an elf that wouyold have been hard for Elrond but at least he knew that someday he would see her again but since she chose the mortal life he knew that never ever ever would they meet again. But that raises another question. Where did men go? where was outside this world. Was that like heaven or something?
