When my boy was 3 our cat died.
I’m not religious so I explained that once you die that’s it.
He had questions and I answered honestly.
He was pretty upset for a few days and then periodically for a few months.
In hindsight I think he was too young for the truth, we should have given him a gone to live on a farm type story.

That’s the problem with being a parent, you only get 1 shot at it with each kid.
