I spent most of my life sad on my birthday ,I never understood why till last few years. We make that day all about us.
Jesus was young when He died on the Cross. God could have kept Him here hundreds of years as He did with Noah or any prior to Jesus . The Cross is the best place to go for answers to the questions in this life. God gave us many things in The Cross, comfort is one of those .
The Cross helps us when we lose someone that is young to remember it is not about years ,but about God's purpose not ours. The Cross tells us everything about life and death. Our lives have nothing to do with years as we have made it. Our culture makes a big deal about birthdays from day one or when when someone makes it to 100.
Jesus is our example for everything, notice He never celebrated His birthday, not once... His life was to give life to others . He had a short time on earth , what He did with it and how He died for us is what matters . Re-think life as we have made it ,the one true enemy has always wanted us to think it is about us.
The example of a birthday celebrated in Scriptures is an ugly one , Matthew 14 with King Herod. It reminds us when we think it is about us as Herod and his wife did , death comes. The life of Jesus and His death brought life and no matter the years we have ,we are to follow Him...
King Hezekiah was given 15 more years to live and in chapter 39 we see what he did with it ,all he had will end up in Babylon. Stop today and ask where will all we are doing with the time given to us ,end up. King Hezekiah did not show the Babylonians what God had done for him, but all the gold and silver and goods in his house. Our lives are for One purpose and that is to show the Babylonians what Jesus did for all. We have today...

And look in Daniel 5, at how God used the gold / silver wine challices /cups / goblets, that were taken from Jerusalem to Babylon horn2

Our lives & time on earth ALL about what / who we love the most.

Jesus made it clear to love God more than anything or anyone else.

Look at how some folks act when a loved one dies. Instead of giving God thanks for having the person in their lives for the time that they were here on earth, they grieve endlessly and even get angry with God.

There's nothing wrong with celebrating a birthday. Unfortunately, most folks fail to give God the glory He deserves at those moments in time, since He's the one who sent us to this beautiful creation called Earth. And He also gave us the people who love & help us while we are here.
