Do it over a cup of tea. That is the English way.

If she died this morning what the fuck are you doing on livewire?!

If she's six, no matter what you tell her, she's not going to understand. Children cannot understand the concept of death.

She's upset because she doesn't understand. Without the ability to abstract, you cannot truly understand death. I'm not saying she's not smart. I'm saying because of her age, psychologically she is not capable of understanding death.

Aww :'(
Tell her that she's "Sleeping with the angels"
Thats what they told my baby cousin when my dad died.
