its a hard time. I remember when Chelsey went thru it - also around age 5. I do believe that you have to figure out your belief system /spirituality (if you haven't yet) and share that with your children.
For us death means eternal life - so Chels was actually happy to know that her body might leave the earth but her soul would be with G-d always. And that its sad for us humans here on earth when someone dies cuz we miss them - but they are happy, pain free and living in heaven.
Zoey has asked me about my mother, and her daddys mother since both are gone and she's never met them. She knows they are dead - but in heaven with G-d and probably looking down on her and smiling big.
