An Arwen Discrepancy

[Elrian]

The answer to your question is probably that without the grief she felt for Aragorn she would have lived forever

The point is, when she did not go with Elrond into the West, she became Mortal, and eventually would have died. Elrond's children had the choice of going into the West and remaining Immortal or to stay and become Mortal, Elrond was told this when he himself made the choice at the end of the First Age. Arwen could not change that to live forever. And she had already lived for 2900 years.
