Humm, sound so touching to hear her express her feelings in such a way. Though had to explain to her that death is the opposite of life because of her age, I quess as she grows up more, she may be able to understand better. Meanwhile she appears to be very intelligent and smart.
Of course, dying is something quite disturbing, not knowing what happens after dying, that feeling of emptiness is uncomfortable, as adults it affects us, but as children it is more cruel, she asks me why aren't you afraid of dying? I tell her that she scares me, but I already accept that I can't control it so I let go of that idea and I only focus on what I can do. People believe in heaven, they are defense mechanisms before terrible feeling
