Sacred Haven of Debauchery

Well, now you can laugh.

Not very funny, to be honest.

Isn't it lovely?

Yeah, it's very interesting. If your girlfriend dies when your love is still blossoming, she would have faded away in a year or two if she were alive, but if she dies, you'll remember her for a long time, you'll visit her grave, you'll only remember the best things about her, and there won't be that depressing slide into everyday life and getting used to each other. Also, you'll get more attention from people around you; no one will try to set you up with a new girlfriend, at least not as persistently as they usually do, and other girls will think not about how cool it would be to steal you away, but about the fact that you've experienced a real tragedy.
As always, I'm writing in a rambling way.
