Granddaughter not dealing with fathers death

by Edward
(Toronto, Canada)

My 45 year old son recently died while vacationing with his wife. At his request was to be cremated he was cremated prior to being returned home.
My 15 year old granddaughter does not seem to be handling the situation very well.
Although her very initial reaction on learning of the death of her father was quite emotional, since that one time she has shown no outward signs of emotion or grief. Instead she seeks out people who she can laugh and joke with. She will even laugh and joke when other people, like her mother, cry when memories evoke emotion.
However, she does seem to be very angry with others around her. Her mother, siblings and her grandparents. When asked to talk about it she just responds, "I don't want to talk about it. I don't show my emotions to anyone."
She was the same way at the funeral. She was very cold towards her family and others who just wanted to love her. When someone would hug her she would be like ice, showing no emotion and just stand there stiff as a board.
It's been over almost two months now and the anger is still there.
What should we do?
