[quote=Anonymous]I think you were fine. Just answer the questions. If you are religious, talk about that. I'm not, so I told my kids that no one knows what happens after death and that they can believe whatever feels right to them. It probably is true that her great grandmother is objectively old. If my 3 year old said great grandma is going to die soon, I might respond that no one knows when a person is going to die, but great grandma sure has had a wonderful life. I'd share a couple of things about her life, including the fact that great grandma and her kids led to her (unless she's adopted, but even then there is a tie-in). She's not a monster. She's just being factual. Don't liken death to sleep, as that may be scary at bedtime. [/quote]
