Perhaps he doesn’t understand as much as it seems sometimes.
“If we get boogers in our nose, we buy and go to heaven to see Grandpa Jack & Great Grandma C.”
“Is Great Grandma in the floor now?” (he asks as he’s carefully studying the kitchen linoleum.)
“It’s okay if I put this money in my mouth, because if I choke and die I’ll go see Grandpa Jack.”
Oy. Heaven help me.

I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother. She sounds like she was a wonderful person.

This might sound crazy but truthfully I love how simple a child sees death. I know they do not completely understand it but their outlook seems so much happier and easier.
