[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you made a mistake. It's true that everyone dies eventually and kids are going to learn that. It's normal for them to go through a period of asking about it/talking about it a lot. My daughter did this when she was 4 or 5--"When are you going to die/When am I going to die/Are grandma and Gramps going to die soon since they are old/What happens when you die/Does it hurt/Why do they bury peoples' bodies in the ground/Will you ever come back." I just try to answer in a straightforward way and acknowledge that it can be scary and sad to think about death, but that when people die we still remember them and love them.[/quote]
