Well, Tuor was allowed to become immortal and sail to Aman. Secondly, Luthien had no mortal relatives.
I think it was mainly that they loved them so much, they just couldn't bear to live on after they had died. I mean, I think they felt there wasn't really much left for them after their husbands died, and since elves died of grief that probably happened.
Hope I made some sense. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
