As for Frodo or other mortals, they could only dwell in Aman for a limited time - whether brief or long. The Valar had neither the power nor the
right to confer 'immortality' upon them. Their sojourn was a 'purgatory', but one of peace and healing and they would eventually pass away (die at their own
desire and of free will) to destinations of which the Elves knew nothing. -- Letter 325

It was not my intention to be either offensive or condinsending, nor did your post seem the least bit confruntational. I like to use as few words as possible, if I can. Terse, succinct, concise.
