Is it because it makes us realize our own mortality?

Because we think we are this body. We don't realize we are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We fear death because of this and when someone dies it reminds us that that can happen to us. But immediately we forget. If you want to more about the Soul and Karma and reincarnation go to harekrishnatemple.c Read Bhagavad Gita by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupad- tell the meaning of life and how to become fearless of death.

It's easier if someone gets sick and dies eventuallly. When there's a sudden loss of someone, it seems you get hit on the head by a 2 x 4.

That and maybe because we feel that we took that person for granted or never let them know how we felt about them.
