The Eternal NOW.
(4)
Your daughter accepts your explanation but hears other possible outcomes from her friends.
----------
hr: Lisa says we go to heaven.
yu: Lisa is wrong. There is no 'heaven.'
hr: How can 'nothing' exist? I can't imagine 'nothing.'
yu: The Universe is billions of years old, yet you remember nothing. You weren't there.
hr: Then why bother?
yu: Enjoy NOW. It is always NOW. Enjoy it! There is no other time. This NOW is forever!
hr: Ok, mama. If you say so...

My oldest daughter and I had a similar (tap) conversation many years ago, but it was not anywhere near as elegant. Kathy never needed to be told that she would also eventually die. The Jewish stalker Gerash pretends to remember it... with a tap.
