[quote=Anonymous]Through experience. We had three cats and my mom die the year DS was 2-3, so we talked a lot about how bodies stop working. Some creatures decompose where they die (we’ve watched a bird decompose for a few weeks now), others get buried underground or turned into ashes. He’s now experienced all of that at 4. We also talk a lot about dead family and friends to keep their memories alive. We have my old dog’s ashes (DS never met the dog but talks about him a lot). We scattered grandma’s ashes at the beach and planted a “grandma tree” where he leaves little treasures. We visit cemeteries. Experience really is the best teacher. [/quote]
