Arwen saw her son, Eldarion, in a powerful vision while journeying to the Grey Havens, witnessing him as a happy child playing with an older Aragorn in Gondor, wearing the Evenstar pendant, a glimpse of life and hope that convinced her to turn back and choose mortality to be with Aragorn, defying her father Elrond's vision of only death, proving their love's potential for a future, says Fandom and quora.com.
Arwen dies the year after Aragorn. All of their children outlive her.

She accepted that she would never see her mother again, for mortals could not sail to Valinor and the dead passed beyond the circles of the world to a fate unknown even to the Valar. She accepted abandoning her father, who would sail West and exist eternally while she vanished into death.
Tolkien tells us some things about the firstborn son of Aragorn and Arwen - Eldarion. He became the High King of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor after Aragorn died, and Eldarion ruled in peace and prosperity for around 100 years, he lived to be 220 years old.
Since Aragorn was already mortal, their son, Eldarion, was fully human and had no option for immortality. In short, the choice was granted only once, and it did not extend beyond Elrond's children. Any descendant of a mortal who had chosen humanity (such as Elros or Arwen) was bound to mortality without exception.
Tolkien's description of Gollum conforms to a Catholic – and Thomistic – account of envy, which is a “sadness of the soul”; and it is Gollum's unbearable sadness and his unquenchable desire for the one Ring that marks his character.
'The Fellowship of the Ring' (2001)
If Gandalf had stayed dead after his sacrifice in The Fellowship of the Ring, then his demise would be the saddest in the trilogy, but since he came back, the saddest single death scene of all three movies goes to Boromir's.
She chose a mortal life to be with Aragorn, as such she could no longer travel to or set foot upon Valinor. Gimli, Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam were the only mortals ever granted passage to Valinor.
Arwen: And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.
So Arwen's other name, Undómiel, comes from the words undómë meaning evening, and el meaning star. It's also a reference to the evening star, which is Eärendil's Silmaril in the Legendarium and the planet Venus in real life.
Elrond is a descendent of all 3 High-elves clans. He is also a far descendent (1/16) of Melian, a Maia (An angel/god magical being). He would probably be way more powerful than Thranduil in many ways, especially with Vilya on his finger !
The only vague connection to the Ring that Arwen has is Aragorn would not have become High King of Gondor and Arnor if the One Ring were not destroyed. If the Ring had not been destroyed she would have probably been forced to flee Middle Earth with the rest of the elves.
He dies at the age of 210, after 122 years as king. The graves of Merry and Pippin (who had died in Gondor 58 years earlier) are set beside his. He is succeeded on the throne by his son, Eldarion.
And after Aragorn's death, Legolas built a ship in Ithilien and sailed down the Anduin River, passing beyond the sea. It's said that Gimli joined him on that journey. With their departure, the tale of the Fellowship of the Ring came to an end. Some say the two had many adventures together in the Undying Lands.
Just like it had happened with their parents (also Half- Elves), they were given a choice to choose the life of an Elf or the life of a Human. Elrond chose the immortality of Elves, and his brother chose the Humans, the first one to do so. He lived 500 years, which is not too shabby.
"In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory".
The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder of Frodo Baggins
J.R.R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings accurately portrayed the signs and symptoms of what is currently labeled Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Frodo's condition logically follows his experiences of less than a year in the War of the Ring.
Merry and Pippin both died decades BEFORE Aragorn died. Merry and Pippin died in FA 63, while Aragorn died in FA 120 - and it was after this that Legolas and Gimli sailed to the Undying Lands. All of this is made patently clear in Tolkien's own timelines.
We die the first time when our breath leaves our body. We die the second time when our loved ones return our body to the ground. And the third death, and final death, is a moment, sometime in the future, when our name is spoken for the last time.
Across three parts, the novel describes the Third Age rise to power of its titular tyrant, Sauron, the Lord of the Rings. Literature's greatest villain and by far the most well-known in The Lord of the Rings, Sauron was actually following in the footsteps of an evil that may have been greater than him.
Peter Jackson, the director of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, made the decision to cut Tom Bombadil's character from the movies, primarily for narrative reasons. According to Jackson, Bombadil's scenes in the book, while intriguing, did not significantly advance the main plot of the story.
The clearest same-sex relationship in the novel, in the eyes of scholars, is that of the ringbearer Frodo Baggins and his servant, originally his gardener, Sam. Tolkien described their relationship as like that of an officer in the British Army and his military servant or batman.
