So evidently, their emotions and emotional bonds are greatly heightened after the transformation along with everything else, physical and mental. The thing is, post transformation, it is impossible for a vampire to change physically, and very difficult for them to Change mentally or emotionally. And when they DO change emotionally, it is unconditionally permanent. So, for example, when Edward fell in love with Bella, he became incapable of ceasing that love for her. Even if Bella had chosen Jacob and stopped loving Edward, he would always love her in the same way, with the same unimaginable intensity that began when he fell in love with her. If she died, if something took that source of maddeningly unconditional love away from him, it would be impossible for him to move on. He would kill anything that had taken her out of his world, and if it was accidental - completely unexpected and tragic, he would become suicidal and get someone to kill him. Anyway, you're right... It WOULD suck to lose your mate because you would literally have no choice but to get yourself killed in the end.. But also, it seems like vampires with mates are ridiculously happy, and the single ones are not very happy. And being that it's nearly impossible for a vampire to die, chances are your mate would never die..
