Wow. Dark but also kinda more realistic. If the show's target audience saw this, they might freak out or even cry. But when you think about it, it's probably better for children to be introduced to the real world in the right way at the right time, which I believe is sooner than most parents think, but about the time most kids find out anyway. This only seems grave because we're not used to this kinda stuff from ponies (assuming we all try to ignore Smile HD and Cupcakes). This seems like a thing kids would probably be okay with after they've been introduced to the concept of death and have for the most part accepted that it's a large part of life (not saying any kids would accept their loved ones' deaths).

This is a slice of life thing and it's only grave if you're not used to the real world in our favorite cartoon. It's just not what we'd expect from an MLP thing is all. Although let's be real here; this idea of the future for the mane six is realistic in more than one way. Such logic the show probably wouldn't address even if it were canon. I have a feeling I'll love this thing when I read it.
