It was said in the trilogy (by galadriel i believe) that once the rings lost teir power the elves would dwindle (not all by death or leaving mind you, many would probably refuse to leave) to a rustic hill folk and forgotten by men. If the elves retained their strength over the ages that would not happen. They die when the burden becomes too much. That's what she means by dwindle. They die by grief, not by some mental burden. No their strength dwindles as well.
