Perhaps it wasn't right or fair or just that Frodo had to suffer. Nothing is fair, and that is becuase the world isn't perfect. It is Arda Marred - sin, if you will. As long as there is not perfection, there will be those that have to suffer, to lose things, that others might have them. I agree that what happened to Frodo was wrong, but that is the fate of Arda Marred. If it wasn't Frodo, it would be someone else. And it wasn't just Frodo - Child gave some great examples of that. Frodo is maybe the most "obvious", the one that lost the most and suffered the greatest pain, but there were others too. Is any suffering right? How are right and wrong defined? What is more right: that Frodo should suffer; lose it all; or that all the free peoples of Middle-earth suffer and lose it all? The problem is, that in Arda Marred, right and wrong can be hard to distinguish. And it isn't always just "right" or "wrong". There are several shades of gray, where you have to wonder what is "more right" or "more wrong." Where do you draw the line? Why is Frodo's suffering wrong? Is it because he suffered more than anyone should have to? Because of the sacrifice? Because there is no guarantee that healing will come? I would say it is somewhat of a combination. Frodo suffered greatly - there is no doubt about that - much more than most people ever suffer and much more than anyone should ever have to suffer. But someone always has to suffer so that others won't because the world isn't perfect. Everyone is required to make sacrifices, but some like Frodo's are much greater than that of others. There is no guarantee that Frodo will be healed, but there is hope. This grace was granted to Frodo - that he could pass into the West and be given a chance for healing - and a hope that healing could come.
It seems that for Frodo, it all comes back to the hope or estel - trust that maybe somewhere there is healing for him. Because if there wasn't hope for Frodo, then there really was nothing left. Nothing for him to hold onto. But hope - if there was hope, then maybe there could still be something left. Hope for healing, for peace; maybe not withing the world, but even beyond it. I have to believe that Frodo had hope - because if there is no hope then there really is nothing. Not for Frodo, and not for anyone else.
