I hope I don't ruin your story-reading, but if you really want to know...
When the ringbearers and elves sail from the Gre Havens, they go to Tol Erraessa, like an after-life world. Before the elves went to Valinor, but in the wrath of the Valar it was shut off to all but few.
To put it simply, when the elves (or ringbearers) want to fade away without death, the ride to the Grey Havens, take a ship and sail to the Undying Lands.

((sry if the information isn't completely accurate, this little elf is out of practice but I'll edit out any mistakes when I get the Silm back))
