For what this little anecdote is worth...
In1964, when I was 4 years old, my paternal grandmother died of cancer. My parents had gotten the word that the end was very near. My father travelled across the state to the nursing home she was in. One morning, my mother was on the phone with my father. When they hung up, my mother turned to me and with a a sad voice simply said "Granny died". I had never been told about death, but I somehow knew that meant she was gone forever, and not to some "other place"
It's a childhood memory I will never forget.
