Celebrian and her party were attacked by Orcs in the Misty Mountains when they were traveling to Lórien. She was wounded by a poison arrow. Her sons rescued her and took her back to Rivendell where Elrond healed her. However, she had "lost all delight in Middle Earth and the next year went to the Havens and passed over the Sea," leaving Elrond and her family behind in Rivendell.
Elrond did not go with her because he still has responsibilities in Middle-Earth especially in Imladris but they have promised each other that he will follow her in Grey Havens if "it is time".

i believe she left because she was too ill to live and would have eventually died...
As shadowy_blue said, she "lost her delight" - she just was sick of seeing all the people die (but she wouldntve died herself as she's an elf... Elrond healed her totally) and so much she loved just faded away
well elrond healed her much like he healed frodo, but frodo carried the pain with him the rest of his life as i am sure she did. maybe for her it wasnt physical pain though and as others suggested maybe it was emotional pain, pain for the state of middle earth, pain for their losses, and heck who wouldnt want to go live in "heaven". the sad thing is she never got to see any of her children again.

yeah really, but i guess i see why celebrian left, but like when they sail away from Gray Havens can they ever come back to like visit Middle Earth again or is it like "it". I'm too lazy to go upstairs and look in the appendixs, i am soooo lazy... 😎
I think I have read in one of the books, I can't remember if it's the Appendices, or Unfinished Tales or Silmarillion or Book of Lost Tales..can't remember, but I think I've read that once you go to Havens, you can never come back to Middle-Earth again, or is it in Valinor? Can't remember but yeah.. (my mind is too jumbled) 😛
