Why kill off good characters when you can recycle them?

I sometimes feel the story isn't finished if they are still alive. That's certainly how it's been with my series. In the book I intend to write next the story will end while she is still quite young - late twenties. It'll be a challenge for me to stop writing there as the inclination is always to go on to the bitter end.
Death is a reality of life and as such including some deaths of characters in works is simply following that reality. Most readers can accept it despite the fact that it might make them sad.
Of a fashion it is like the hot pepper in a pasta- too much and noone will want to partake of it but the right amount brings another level of flavor.

Because the upset is priceless and gives way to new characters
