When my grandfather died in 1998 my family tried to explain death to my young cousin(about 3). She didn't seem to uderstand and from that time forward she told everyone that her Papa went away. A year later another of my cousons, the same age as her(as well as her best friend) was killed in a car accident. When they tried to explain to her that he was going to Heavan with Grandpa she morned the loss of two people she loved.
My point is, children should understand the truth, but if they are not ready to understand, they won't. Try to explain it to them, use your faith as a helping step. Tell them what you believe happens after one dies.
I know it's not alot of help, but that's all I have.
