Is death really something to cry about?

If you believe that death is a page to the after life than there is no reason to mourn. That would be similar to me being in my bedroom hungry. In order to satisfy my hunger I must go to the kitchen to get food. The only way in my house to get to the kitchen from my bedroom is to walk through the hallway. Should I sit in the hallway and cry about the fact that I don't have any food? Should I be in the hallway and start complaining about not being in the bedroom any more? No...I need to go through the hallway and get to the kitchen. So if that is true then why should I cry about death. If the bedroom represents our Earthly life, the hallway represents death, and the kitchen represents after life, then it doesn't make sense to cry about death. Either stay in the bedroom or go to the kitchen. But if you must go into the kitchen, being that we cannot choose whether to die or not, do you want to go to a kitchen that's abundant (Heaven) or a kitchen that's burning down (Hell)?
