[quote=Anonymous] We went through this last year, twice, with close family members. Kids were 5 and 10. We told them a couple of weeks before the actual deaths, when it became clear that there was no hope of recovery and we were making plans to travel there and deal with the aftermath. Since we are scientists/doctors, we explained the illnesses and why these people would shortly pass away, and how their pain was alleviated. I don't advise you to explain this far in advance. A lot can happen in the meantime. [/quote]
