Kaylen’s answer to “I still don't know why Frodo had to leave Sam, Merry and Pippin (the ending) ?!” > Likes and Comments

Valinor - or Tol Eressea more likely - is not Heaven as Christians expect. It is the Undying Land, but it does not grant immortality. It simply is inhabited by those who do not die - the Eldar, the Maiar and the Valar. They have the power to assuage Frodo's trauma while he lives, but he must die and pass outside the Circles of the World, like all of the hobbits. They are presumed to be part of the Atani, the men, as they die within Middle-Earth and are not Dwarves. To what fate, neither Men nor Hobbits know, except that they go to join Eru Illuvatar outside the world. And this is the Heaven of which you speak, where the four hobbits will rejoin each other in some form.
