Death is a part of life. You can't have one without the other, and there's just no reason to think life/consciousness exists beyond this mortal coil. Indeed, there's no reason to think it should.

If there is another plane of existence, I sure hope it involves a vast change in who we are... for if it resembles this existence, it could hardly be called "Heaven". If we don't change in significant ways--beyond our imagnining (and making us such that we wouldn't even be recognized as 'human'), eternal existence is going to be very monotonous. There are only so many things that each of us enjoy, and given a million years doing each will pretty much take the pleasure away... what then?
