Breaking News...

100% of people die.
No, seriously, I've researched this.
It's a commonly agreed upon fact, even among those who would otherwise disagree.

While death affects everyone, it still is so...
un-natural.

There's just about nothing as un-natural as death. One minute someone is alive, talking, thinking, breathing, feeling and the next that same person is just gone, but yet still there. You can see them, as if they're only asleep, but the fact remains that the person is gone.
Nothing is left but a vacant, lifeless body.
What happened to the person?

Death and the wrongness we feel when confronted with it is just such evidence that earth is not the end...that our existence here is not all there is.
If I may be so bold, I would like to offer a suggestion:

People don't die.
Ever.
At least, not really.

Maybe the body breaks down and ceases to function, but the person inside the body survives.
Eternally.

People were created to last forever.
It wasn't intended that we should die.

While it's impossible to escape physical death, there is always hope in a life after.
After your body is decayed, after the world is over, you -the person- will still be there.

Because death is wrong.
And un-natural.
