4 year old is asking about death

My son (turns five in 2 months) has been asking questions about death lately and I thought to try and be factual but I really don't know how to answer them. He asked 'if ants die?' So I said yes to that. He asked if everything dies and I made 😬 face because I didn't want to answer that and redirected him to his new car ramp. He also asked where we go when we die and I thought to say heaven, I don't really believe that but I think it's a nice thought to have. My own belief is that it's just the fact of life, we die and there's nothing and we go back to the Earth, the way I made peace with the thought of death is that we make space for our children and future generations. Any advice or own experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you for reading. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2GqLJZi
