The problem lies in the concept of what is life and what is death. In Catholic belief, death is not the end but rather the precursor to one's final supernatural destiny. The death of a child is viewed as tragic not only because of the shortness of time spent here, but because children have an innocence and a potential that seems cruel to terminate. But in the end these are natural considerations; no one has a right to live in the sense of life lived for its own sake - if we did have such a right, then death for anyone would be an injustice. We only have the right to those things, means and assistances that allow us to live our lives according to natural and Divine law. When God decides a person or a child's time has come, then it is the good and proper time for them to leave this world. It is God's love and mercy that decides this; His love dictates His desire to bring the soul to Him, to be united, and His mercy as often life is cruel, or the child might lose their soul should they live longer. God would not create a creature with the potential to be with Him in eternity if He did not love it, and He would only seek to take that soul to Him when that soul has played its part in the world.

If God loves us then why do people die?

That's the great thing. God allows people to die because He loves us and wants to see us with Him in Heaven. Earth is a horrible place, full of sin and confusion. God knows that, and since He is just, He created a place where people who follow Him can go to get away from the pain and suffering in Hell.
