I think I handled it well.
I told them yes in a longx50 time. While I was wiping their butt. Then they asked if they were going to die. I told them maybe, when they are an old old old lady like Grandma.
That seemed to go well enough.

Ourselves, we had a bit of trauma to deal with when they saw the movie Coco. They all had already learned that we, like all living beings, are going to die. But I think it made them realize a bit more directly what it means.
