I don't know if you have seen the movie, but [Arwen] remains alive and doesn't die from a broken heart because of her child. She leaves for Lothlorien afther a while and it is tolled that Aragorn and Arwen meet up again at the end of time and the parting of the world.
Don't believe what JP tells you I'd say. read the book itself (the Appendix) to learn what JRRT himself told about it.
As I read it, Arwen just gave up her life, like the Numenoreans did in their beginning: the died of their free will.
