I don't know how you tell children that young about something like this. Since it has been at least two months since he was home, I'm trying to guess how she remembers him, and if she saw him in the hospital. She didn't seem affected by her grandfather's death, but it can't be too long before she understands that her daddy is gone.
My father died when I was exactly that age, and I really only remember him from pictures. There are one or two very hazy memories. I was not "affected" by his death except that I think I knew something was very wrong because my mom cried for so long.
