My mother just died. She had lung cancer, never smoked and was only 66 years old. Death sucks. I was struggling with how to explain it to my kids (6 and 3). They handled it pretty well. My 6 y/o son said to my 3 y/o daughter, "If you are born, you will die. It is a circle. Mom, is someone being born right now?" The simplicity and beauty of his statement is what I keep coming back to when I start to get angry.
