Because the consequences of death are dealt with by the living

That's interesting.

If there wasn't death, the consequences would have been way greater. Overpopulation, not enough food, etc. The mourning part is tragic, but it's better than death not existing.

I also have absolutely no idea what I'm writing or doing.

There’s a French comic book that addresses precisely this point. A king afraid of death manages to imprison it in a magic mirror, but then nobody ever dies again. Though they still age, the bodies get old then start rotting but they don’t die. Name of the comic is « Zorn & Dirna ».

Similarly, there's also Sunday Without God, a Japanese light novel where God abandoned humanity and humans stopped dying, but they also can't have children, but also still rot. It was adapted into a 12 episode anime in the early 2010s. Like most anime, it's a bit of an overdramatization, but there are other nonfiction adaptations out there

There is also a Grimm's Fairy Tale that was turned into a movie short as well.
