The Velveteen Rabbit is an excellent one. My grandmother died when I was 5.5. My mom explain heaven and God. Then every year after that we lost a family member (so far so good for 2006!) so at this point it's hard for me because in some ways, I am almost numb to it. I would say avoid telling the child that the person is asleep. Someone did that with one of my cousins... poor thing didn't sleep for like a month because she thought she wasn't going to wake up. She wouldn't let anyone else sleep either
