For some reason, God has chosen our church to have to deal with this issue more frequently than this pastor would like. In God's infinite wisdom (and I do not now know why this is so), he has given us this task. I trust that he is counting us worthy to walk through trial and trouble.
Here's a document I put together a while back about how to approach the ideas of death, grief, and the like with children. If you can't use it now, I'm sure it may be something to store away later.
Children and Grief
"It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart." (Eccl. 7:2)
