answer:My five year old and two year old daughter lost their grandmother a few months ago. As biologists we (my wife and I) often look at dead animals and explain to them that for a variety of reasons an individual may die and that death is like it was before being born or in a very very deep sleep…no thoughts, no memories, no sights or sounds or anything. Nothing scary at all. In this case we said that grandma had died, but she lives on in our memories. Her body will become other life. It is sad, but part of the cycle of life.
