How do you explain death to a three-year-old? My husband's father died last month and our daughter still asks about her grandfather. Do I explain death as it is or come up with euphemisms like he went to live on the moon?

    Tell him that death comes to everyone. Every body dies due to old age and sometimes due to serious illness.
