I'm not sure what to say or what to do when the time arises. We have a few pets with short life spans and my husband brought up the explanation of death. He says since the pets are me and the babies thing that I have to have be prepared.

It's really hard since my beliefs about after death is different then heaven or hell. Telling a kid that we'll all go to heaven is so much easier then what I'll describe. Since their father has a Christian based belief, maybe he should be the one to explain.

How did you guys tell your children about death?
