hi asmi, very sad u lost ur brother,must be very painful indeed.i must admit u are a brave girl u have managed to put ur self into studying&the exam.am sure whereever ur brother is he will be very happy to see u pass&do well in the exam.i know the loss is great¬hing can replace it,but life has to move on,we have to live wth the pain&memories&the sight of grieving relatives.dont push urself too much,give ur self time to get over it&then give the exam when u probab ly feel lil better&stronger.but rem not ur feelings &emotions but determination will get u to geting agood score.if u do well am sure everybody including ur brother will be very happy.likewise if u fail then imagine the pain&frustration only increases.so put aside those disturbing thoughts&focus on the exam. hold on my girl there is light at the end of the tunnel.am sorry if i sound to philosophical but speak so cause i identify wth ur situation.willpray for u surely <:from_book:> liby

Dearest Asmi Life has to move on and thats a bitter truth. But having said that, I would suggest that u take your time and extend the period so that u can concentrate on studies. I have gone through a similar situation lately and i know how hard it must be for you. Best of luck

Dear Asmi, I know words cannot heal the pain you and your family must be going through. Dont worry if you are not able to concentrate for a few days. TAke the time to just heal and vent out the pain. I had lost my mom 3 years back and it felt terrible. I still feel the pain at times. Also during exam prep, I used to feel heavy remembering, but I had to allow that time of healing and then get strong and be an encouragement to others. My prayers are for you and your family. you have been actively participating and studying, you will ace the exam. No problem if you are slowing a little, take the time to be healed and then come back. God bless you, Meg

Hi asmi... You have to study... this will make your brother happy.. if you are succesful with your career this will make relief for your parents.. & now you have to be a good doctor to rescue other people like your brother... I am sure that you can make it... for a simple reason ... that you are going to study for the sake of your family... you are a kind person & God will help you..

Hi asmi, sweetheart, you have to know that God does not give anymore than what we can handle. What everyone is saying here is right. Trust in God, have faith, and know that you and your family is watched over. There is a greater power than all of us who understands and considers our loss, sorrow, and pain. Remember, everyone will be most proud to see you be the best you can be. Don't loose faith, usmle4me [-o<

Very sorry to hear about the news "Inna lilah wa inna ilaihi Raji'oone"= we all belong to God and we're all going back to him sooner or later. Have faith in God and He will not let you down! Don't worry a lot about the exam, you have time and if not you can reschedule. For the moment, you have to accept what happened and take the time needed for that so it can heal without "scar". You're not alone in your sorrow, many of us have experienced such loss! We'll pray for you and your family!
