You might just tell your son that death is a mystery, even to scientists and clerics, because nobody can know what really happens until they die. Maybe also tell him that for many people the reality of death can make life seem richer and fuller--knowing we'll die means we must live fully and in a meaningful way with the time we have. Or maybe that's too heavy for an 11-year-old?
