My son doesn't want to die.

I'll start this off by saying that my son isn't dying. He's a healthy little six year old.But his very good friend's dog died recently, and my son's grandma died when he was a year old (we talk about her frequently), and now he's afraid to die. He doesn't want to sleep alone and is afraid of being sent to heaven by himself. I talked to him for almost an hour about it, and he's resolved to build a giant space shield to protect earth and all the people on it so no one has to die any more. That got him to stop crying, which is good. And then he asked me to lay in bed with him and snuggle while we pretend heaven doesn't exist.My heart breaks for him. It's so hard knowing that life is short. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2MASPyG
