Twinkletoes, I don't know if your religious but that has been a help for us on this subject. at the time DD's were 2 (almost 3) & 4 yrs old, the older one just stated I don't want to die young, wants to be an old lady with many grand and greatgrand kids when she dies, she'll be ready then. The younger one was a different story, when she understood my dad had died and her daddies dad had died, then she asked someday will I die? I said yes,lots of tears followed and I don't want you or daddy to die, and so on. It's the religion and knowning someday she will be with Jesus that helps her. Best wishes
