[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 142277, member: 4845"] Well I agree that your mom gut will tell you if it's a serious issue. My difficult child started asking questions like that young because her dad died when she was 2 1/2. But the questions come in spurts. As she gets older she asks more questions, just like she does about everything else regarding life, development, etc. But these questions are often triggered by something, a TV show, an extended family member dying, something a friend said to her, etc. At your difficult child's age it's pretty typical to start thinking about the more existential thing like death and spirituality. This is the time when thier brains can begin to think beyond black and white. Most teens think they are invincible but they do realize that everyone including them will eventually die--and that's a scary thought. in my opinion crossing the line would be obsessing on it, getting emotionally distraught when talking about it, etc. Trust your mom instincts and calling the treating doctor for backup is always a good idea.
