I see this is an old question, but an interesting one and not morbid at all. Hope you were able to help your boy. Not strange that he struggled with the concept of death, even many adults struggle with that.

Ppoor lad ,maybe show him he’s alive ,healthy &loved .No problem of him dieing just yet .Show him on chart baby toddler etc then after well into old age he stops working.

I often think about the same thing. But one day I just passed the phase.

They all learn about death at some stage. They just need to get it around their little heads. It’ll pass.

I hope your child has passed the phase on death, they all go through it I think

is he upset because he knows someone whos has died or just thre thought of it. You might need 2 seek help if his not sleeping

could lots of photos help

hope all is well with your young man now, if someone dies who he is close to , point out a bright star shining in the sky at night and say that they are watching over him.

I’ve gone through this myself, it was very difficult. Death is unfortunately inevitable though Hope this has been resolved for you.

How is he going with it now?

I hope you have found some helpful suggestions here.

There is some great advice below – hope it helps.

My nephew went through a similar thing to this and we got a Sunday school lady to talk to him,not sure what was said but it eased his mind,also maybe ask his teachers for advice as they might know of some books tat might help.

Hope things worked out well with all the helpful suggestions

If it has’t got any better I’d definitely take him to the doctor just for peace of mind, they might know what to say to ease his mind.

Lots of helpful suggestions here. I hope some of them helped you and he isn’t overly anxious

Do you attend a church? I found a chat with a priest to be helpful in the same situation.

Earn to understand it

My daughters dad has passed. We talk about it regularly. It’s part of life.

i was recently reading up on anxiety in children,as my child has been suffering recently with it.apparently alot of children go through what they called general anxiety which is when they get extremely worried over thoughts about death people dying,they will ask lots of questions for reassurance,have trouble going off to sleep etc.go and see your GP for some advice.good luck
