Question about Arwen and the afterlife - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I should probably know this, but its been awhile since I read the Silmarillion, where I expect this answer probably lies.

I'd like to know where did Arwen's spirit go when she died after going back to Lorien woods after grieving Aragorn/Elessar. I presume her spirit goes somewhere else other then the Undying Lands, since she chose mortality. Will she go where Aragorn's spirit resides and meet him there (wherever "there" is) or will she go to some place set aside for elven dead and slain (and if the latter is correct but not the former, will she and Aragorn ever meet up again in the afterlife?); and in Tolkiens world, will she ever meet up again with her still-alive Elven kin?
