Actually if I recall correctly wasn't Galadriels quote when speaking with Elrond-
"The Quest will claim his life.
YOU have seen it." So wasn't it Elrond's vision, perhaps they both had the same vision? Does anyone rember it this way besides me?
The actual quote reads: "The strength of the ringbearer is failing. In his heart, Frodo begins to understand. The quest will claim his life. You know this. You have foreseen it. It is the risk we all took."

Yes, I think both Galadriel & Elrond have had a foreshadowing that unless something unlooked for occurs, Frodo will die either on the paths to Mt. Doom, or in the final moment. Indeed, if it were not for Gollum, I think Sauron would still have been able to take the ring as Frodo would not have had the strength of will to prevent it.
