I still find it hard to believe that Old Ultear if she could still use magic would simply say goodbye to Jellal and Meredy instead of just going with them still fight. What really gave it away in her letter that she did not have that much time left so that indicates that she was nearing the end of her life, from the time of her using Last Ages and the time of handing that letter to Jellal and Meredy spanned A few days, that shows that the aging has sped up but not immediately so there was sometime like either a day or half a day before she dies. She could become one with time like Ur became ice and then part of the ocean.
