Jenny, I think you handled Eleanor's queries honestly and very well. I'd be tempted to add to what you told her that whatever comes after we die is surely not painful or unpleasant. (Not that I have a shred of proof for this confident assertion!) Keep up the good work, my friend. I'll write you over the weekend ...

Jenny, I LOVED this entry! It reminded me of when my daughter Allie was four, and got up once in the middle of the night, needing all her questions about death answered RIGHT THEN. So, caught off guard (as we all are when this comes up), I explained as best I could, as gently...and when I finished, she was silent for a few seconds and then she said, "But--that's not for you and me, right?"

Please don't tell Chris. He never asked and I never told him.
