Hopefully it is something that I won't have to explain for years to come and by then school, peers and television will done a lot of the ground work for me. The other thing I don't have an answer for is what happens after death - because I don't have a firm belief either way. I think you have done a pretty good job of explaining it in words that your daughter can understand and it is a good example if we ever face this ourselves.
