Frodo's Life
Lalaith

Nattie, when Galadriel and Elrond said
"In his heart, Frodo begins to understand. The quest will claim his life. You know this. You have foreseen it. It is the risk we all took." it means that Frodo will be left traumatized for life. In the Return of the King, the pain reoccurs on the anniversaries of the original happenings. So, in a way, it does claim his life.
