Although I'm comfortable with the nothing after death premise and accept it as the logical conclusion rather than supernatural/life after death stories, I do find myself feeling uncomfortable talking about it with my kids as I'm sure most atheist parents do. I am however, very comfortable with the fact that these difficult conversations now are, by many magnitudes, better for them as they mature rather than picking a religious based eternal life scenario to comfort them.
At 7,8,9 or 10 years old it's quite a bitter pill to swallow. My 12 yo son appears to take it quite matter of fact though so who knows what goes on in young minds.
