Seriously, I'm certainly not the best person to weigh in on this issue, but, I will anyway. I personally don't see any reason for kids to be exposed to death any more than necessary. I believe that when someone close to them dies, you have to deal with that...and honesty is always the best bet in those situations.
However, for someone they weren't close to...I just don't see the need. I think how their little minds don't really understand everything going on around them, and what concerns they might take away from the experience. They've had enough dose of the sadness in the real world to last a while.
Again, just my $0.02 worth!
Good luck with that one! Amy
