Discussing death with children proves to be a challenging task for parents, who often lack personal experience. TikTok creator Penny offers an insightful perspective, suggesting that one can explain death by relating it to the time before birth. She reassures her children that whether death leads to a different place or nothingness, they have been in this state before and were ultimately okay. This approach not only helps children understand but resonates with adults seeking solace about their own fears regarding death and the unknown.
"When my kids would say 'Mommy, where do you go after you die?' I would tell them, 'I think you probably just go to wherever you were before you were born.'"
"It might be a place, it might be nothing. Either way, you've been there before. Because before you were here if you were somewhere else you were OK."
