The nature of death, to let go

[tadeus]

Please feel free to share your thought on how to explain it to a 5 years old (ELI5.) 
This could be beneficial for those who works in medical/educational pediatric care,

A (little) child will not be afraid, if someone else will not tell stories to be afraid of.

So another key are the stories that every day are told to be afraid of.

The (most popular) answer is to avoid hearing such stories and only exercise positive thinking.
This will of course work, but you will not be informed what is going on in the "world" of the "others" and you have no influence on it.
When this world will touch you sooner or later, you will not understand it and you lost the chance to alter it.
I will call this the New-Age-Trap or New-Age-Blind-Lane.

The better way is to be informed and to think about what you have to be really afraid of.
Then you can rule any information that is reaching you and you can sort out the fiction and fables.
You are able to inform and calm others and you have a positive influence to the world of others, that you have to share with them.


This situation inspired among others the thread Among with childlike people


So you will eplain a child that it hears stories that are not true, about things that does not really exist.
You ask the child why it is afraid about things it cannot see or proove.
