So as long as Bonnie is alive, Elena can't be, which means that Elena went into a 60-plus year sleep in order to allow her best friend to attempt to find happiness. And with that, each member of Elena's life got a chance to say goodbye. It was nostalgic. It was heartbreaking.
Status. Elena's Coffin was the coffin where Elena Gilbert slept due to the sleeping spell that linked her life to Bonnie Bennett's life. It was used to protect her until she woke up when Bonnie Bennett died.
In the Season 6 finale, antagonist Kai Parker (Chris Wood) placed a sleeping spell on Elena that linked her to her best friend Bonnie (Kat Graham). Therefore, as long as Bonnie was alive, Elena remained in a deep sleep. Elena willingly went into that state to ensure her best friend would enjoy a long life.
Here's how it went down: Kai — who killed himself with Lily's blood in his system, thus becoming a heretic — put a spell on Elena, linking her to Bonnie; as long as Bonnie lived, Elena would remain in a sleep-like trance.
"We basically jumped to Bonnie's strong enough, she figured it out, she can wake Elena up. She jostled Elena in the beginning with her near-death experience and was able to do it again," Williamson says.
5 or 6 years. Kai puts Elena in the coma in I'll Wed You in the Golden Summertime which takes place June 23, 2013. She does not wake up until just before May 2019, when Bonnie somehow finds a way of breaking the spell. This puts the time that Elena was in the coma at 6 years give or take, as mentioned above.
They eventually rekindle their relationship, Elena takes the cure that Bonnie gave Damon. At Alaric's wedding, Kai ruins their wedding and casts a sleeping spell on Elena, linking her life to Bonnie's. She makes a sacrifice to let Bonnie live out her life until it is her turn.

A spell cast by villain Kai linked the two ladies together and put Elena in a deep sleep that will remain in effect for as long as Bonnie's still alive, meaning the door is still open for Dobrev to come back to the show one day.
As to the reasoning behind the change in her appearance, fans suggest that Nina wanted to be seen as a more mature star -- so pursued some facial modifications.
Casting. On January 26, 2017, it was announced that Nina Dobrev would return as Elena Gilbert in the series finale. At the end of the episode, "It's Been a Hell of a Ride" on February 24, 2017, it was revealed that Dobrev would reprise her role of Katherine Pierce as well.
It turns out, she would. But how? After all, she's been in a coma since the end of season 6 — and the only way she can wake up is if Bonnie Bennett, played by Kat Graham, dies.
At age 18, Elena gets in a car crash that ends with her drowning. Damon turns Elena into a vampire to save her life. Elena actually only spent a year of her life as a vampire, as she was given the cure at age 19.
So read this carefully. The cure only makes you age when it's removed from the one that took it. In Katherine's case Elena forced her to take the cure, but she only begins to age when Damon forces her to give her blood to Silas.
Alaric compelled Elena to forget all the good memories she had of Damon upon her request after Damon's death. Alaric is the one to inform Elena that Damon is back from the dead. Both Alaric and Elena became vampires in Season Three and human again in Season Six.
Kai put Elena in a sleeping coma spell and linked her life to Bonnie's, so that Elena would only wake up once Bonnie died.
In the present, it is revealed by Valerie that the Gemini Coven wanted to protect Jo and Alaric's twins during Kai's attack at their wedding. They cast a spell that allowed Caroline to become pregnant with the twins.

Following Stefan's death, Elena wakes up in the Salvatore mansion to find Bonnie standing over her. Bonnie's alive and managed to figure out a loophole to break the spell.
They are both best friends with Caroline. Bonnie turned her back on Elena after her grandmother died, blaming Damon and Stefan and not wanting Elena to choose between her and them.
Damon Chose Bonnie Over Elena
He chose to save Bonnie's life, knowing that it meant he wouldn't see Elena for decades. Their relationship was much more open and down-to-earth than what Bonnie had with Elena growing up.
What episode and season does Elena Wake Up From A Coma? The series finale (8x16).
Because she is sired to damon, her inabillty to drink blood unless its from the vein because clearly she still needs fresh human blood from the vein,that is the reason why she couldnt keep any animal blood,neither can hospital bags,nor can vampire blood down.
As for Elena, Kai didn't do the obvious and kill her. Instead, he put her in a sleeping spell that linked her body to Bonnie's. The specifics of the spell meant that as long as Bonnie (Kat Graham) lived, Elena would never age and would be stuck in a slumber.
