Kids and death discussions help
A year ago my parents' dog died so it was our first conversation about death with dd. since then every so often dd will just randomly bring up the death topic and she is clearly worrying about it and concerned.
I feel at a loss! We are not religious/don't go to church. I wouldn't say we are atheist just not into organized religion. But because of that dd really hasn't learned anything about god/heaven/etc. so when she asks what happens, I've tried talking to her some about different ideas people believe (trying to explain people believe in heaven, etc). But ugh, it's so hard! I'm unsure myself what I really believe and quite frankly hate thinking about it.
But I hate that she worries about it. I have no idea what brings the feelings on. Out of the blue while reading a story (nothing at all to do with death) she brought up how she didnt want to die. She wants to know answers about aspects of death and afterwards but its hard when there aren't answers to everything.
Anyways, any advice?? Anybody else not super religious and how you deal with it? Any book recommendations? I feel like something that explains some specific aspects geared toward kids and offered some possibilities of what happens after might help. I don't know what else to do

(We do not practice religion at home either. K is a catholic, and I was baptized presby as a baby but that was about the extent of it. So we fall into the category of culturally christian but I wouldn't say I am a believer.)
