I don’t like Padme. She loses the will to live because her heart got broken, despite having just given birth to two newborn children. Is being there for her vulnerable infants not enough to give her the will to live? Fuck them kids?

We could start a discussion about her death, but I personally am of the opinion that it would be a perfect waste of time. You don’t like it, while I’m able to rationalize it. Both opinions are fair. What I want to specify, though, is that there are plenty of Padmé fans who don’t like her death, and even say that it openly contradicts the essence of her character. Just like there are a ton of Mara Jade fans who don’t like the way they killed her off in Legacy of the Force, there are also a lot of Padmé fans who don’t like the way she died. So, liking a certain character doesn’t mean that you have to like the way that character died, because a character is way more than his/her death.
