Just as an update.

I prefaced the talk with my daughter by using flowers and trees to explain the circle of life. Things grow, bloom, wilt and die. Grandpa was so, so old and sick and tired that he went to sleep and didn't wake up. Just like leaves turning brown and falling off the tree. That he was resting and not in pain anymore. But he's always with us when we think about him. She comprehended and accepted it just fine and she was just a bit sad that she wouldn't see him anymore.

I didn't let her attend the funeral cause she took it so matter of fact-ly, that being around a bunch of crying and hysterical people would just make her upset, without reason.

Quasi, I hope you parents are doing alright. My brother was killed by a drunk driver on his 18th birthday and they were devastated. He was the oldest boy and it's fair to say they were never the same. If they start being extra stubborn or short, do your best to understand.
