Some of the typical questions that children ask about death were as follows:
-
What does “dead” mean?
It is better to reply to children with a simple and brief answer. The idea or the concept of death is hard to grasp so any way that can be simple is best. For example, you can describe the physical aspects like they can no longer talk, eat, or walk.
-
Does it hurt when you die?
Children may feel comforted to know that the person is not in pain or no longer suffering.
