my five year old is so casual about death, its flippant. Maybe he doesn't get it. . .Grandma died while he was sleeping in our house. There one night, gone the next morning. Happened last year. . the biggest outcome was him telling us we are crying way to much

I guess I would rather have that than the below. Feel for you. . .Natsku

I asked her if she's scared of dying and she said she is. Trying to reassure her that people usually are very old or very very ill when they die but it doesn't seem to be helping so far. Any advice?
