Gorwingel has just left Hobbiton.

She didn't want to live in Middle-earth anymore and took ship to Valinor (I do not know if she lived or died their).
Well I don't think that she would have died, because she was an elf of course. But most likely what happened when she reached Valinor is that she was healed of all her hurts that she had received while in Middle Earth.

Didn't the mission that Elladan, Elrohir, and Aragorn go on while the Fellowship was Rivendell have something to do with the wars that the other races of elves were at the time involved in because of the growing forces of Sauron?

For some reason that is what I have always thought they were gone for.

Hey, Elves can die in Valinor too! They can just sit back and relax, and their souls went to Mandos. (It does seem that the Halls of Mandos are the ultimate peace for Elves)

Aragorn was said to have gone under disguise to fight wars against Sauron in the Armies of both Gondor and Rohan. I suspect that the sons of Elrond would appear too Elvish to join either army, but it would not be surprising if they serve as scouts and messengers between Rivendell and other Elven havens such as Loth-lorien and Thranduil's Halls. Perhaps, they would not speak of their missions they may seem too unrelated and mundane to the great Gandalf?

"Hello, Grandma! Here's a sweater that our sis wove! Dad send us along to ask to recipe to brewing cherry-favoured miruvor."- Elros and Elrohir
"My! How tall my beauties have grown! Send this along to your Dad, please, and here are some waybread for me beauties!" - Galadriel

Gorwingel - i did not mean that Celebrain would die of age, for that indeed would not be the case being an elf. I simply asked myself, since I didn't have the books, whether or not she died in Valinor because of the torments and her grief. Many Elves died of grief and some did in Valinor.
