Elves: truly immortal? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

One question, this is not the forum I know but it seems relevant. OK- Arwen makes the choice of the Peredhil and chooses mortality, and marrying Aragorn. However according to the film of TTT, she has to live until the 'long years of her life are utterly spent'. How long would she live? I believe in the appendices it's about a year, is it not?

And Aragorn tells her to find a ship to take her to the West doesn't he? But if she's chosen mortality she can't (right?) so why does he say it?

Actually that was more than one question. Sorry!
