It is really important that she choose to say "If Immortality" rather than "when" or something else. Emily is proposing that death is a final event, by showing the uncertainty of "a third event". The only thing we are certain of in this poem is that there will be a "parting"

"Parting is all we know of heaven
And all we need of hell"
I agree with this comment. We all leave this world to go to heaven or hell, and from hell all we want is distance.
