A very interesting discussion with all great answers. I believe the members can share their own experience how they explained death to young ones, if any. I don't have any. In recent memory, I have just had one great loss. And I had no small kids to explain to. But when I was young, I suffered a great loss of my own. I was told things back then about death which I don't quite remember.
