I think Smallsteps has a decent understanding of what death is - but she is just starting to think about what the death of others means for her.
The concept of eternity is impossible to imagine for a human - as are the concepts of nothingness and non-existence.

I was crying and shaking in fear for them as I was still in single digits. If they had confirmed what my sister said, I would have been sick with worry for them. They wanted me to enjoy life as their son and not worry about their passing. Yes, it was what I needed at the moment and I'm glad they did that way at that time. It allowed me to learn on my own when I was a bit older.

I was trying to remember how it was introduced to me, but can't. When I was young, my mother's best friend and someone we considered family, died from cancer. I think I was around 8, but I remember by that time it was already quite "normal" for me.
