Kath was asking how come Frodo, Sam and Gimli,who were all mortal, could depart for the Undying Lands and why Arwen could not. Well, Frodo and Sam were both Ringbearers, they had both born a very heavy burden, and granting them admittance in Valinor was not only a reward, it was a possibility for them to be healed. Gimli had Galadriel's favour and that is why he could go with Legolas. For the other mortals, I think the road was shut. And Arwen chose not only to be mortal, but to be human also and no human had ever been aloud in the land of Aman.
