My 10 year old son has asked twice over the last couple of days ‘what’s the point in living if we’re going to die?’. First he asked his Dad who dodged the question, than he asked me & I really didn’t know what to say. I told him that no one can really answer the question of what’s the point of life and we should make the most of it while we can. I think that was actually a rubbish response & he looked disappointed with my answer but I couldn’t think of anything else to say. It’s not the first time he’s said something like this. In the past he has said he ‘doesn’t want to die’ and ‘why do we have to die?’. I asked him if he has these thoughts often & he said ‘sometimes’. I’m quite worried that he seems to think there is no point to life. Has anyone experienced anything similar with their children? Or have any words of wisdom of how best to deal with this or what to say to him? I’m very concerned by it.
