Pass on whatever your beliefs are of life and death, and let her express whatever she believes of life and death. I'd say avoid going too in-depth--that goes along with just answering what she asks--but just be honest and try to make it a reverent moment between you too, and maybe it will be a good memory for her, or at least a loving one.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496860234400536830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83995894561612427.post-68146230531799141102008-11-13T11:33:00.000-05:002008-11-13T11:33:00.000-05:00I agree with the above.

As far as death, we've been very straightforward with what we believe. And since we do believe in Heaven and an afterlife, it makes it less scary.Lara Neveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351324888724799014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83995894561612427.post-84882531899070242432008-11-12T22:46:00.000-05:002008-11-12T22:46:00.000-05:00Ok, so you know our family experienced a loss 2 ye...Ok, so you know our family experienced a loss 2 years ago of another child the kids were close to. This is a subject we as adults think TOO MUCH about how to explain it to children. Tell her what you believe to be true about death and that it is nothing to be afraid of because it is a fact that we will all die someday and will never know that day. Now babies is the same just tell her the general idea. It does not need to be in great detail but also needs to be the truth. No lies. You want Lael to hear it all from you so remember that when you talk to her about these important issues. Call me if you need my help, we have already done this several times. Gets easier each time.
