The song is pretty simple when you break it down. First we need to clarify that the connection to this video and the one for "What hurts the most" may or may not be a truth, but that does not matter. So my interpretation is that in the beginning the Grandfather and the Grandson are waiting on the daughter's arrival. When the daughter arrives she greets the only other living family member.....her mother. She then proceeds to the cemetery where her father and "possibly" her son is buried. This is clearly her first time at the cemetery, which means her father must have died while she was away. The last part of the video brings everything together. When the little boy says "Are you ready?" to the grandfather he replies with "What's it like?" and after a few seconds the boy says that there are "No more goodbyes." This signifies the boy welcoming the grandfather into the next life. It also clarifies that the grandson has been in heaven. The long and short of it is, the boy died first and the main focus of the video is on the Father's last goodbye to his daughter not vice versa. That's why the video starts the way it does.
