Can children sense that they are going to die? 

About 2 weeks before Zack went into the Umhlanga Hospital, I was on the freeway to pick up Jess+Chad from school when Zack asked me "I going to die Mom?"  I said No, of course not, it was so out out of the blue and unexpected that I actually felt quite shocked.  Another instance occurred when he was at the Red Cross Childrens Hospital,  we would tell him that when  he gets better Dad would take him to the beach, he kept saying  "Not", and would become very sullen.
