Hello sir, I'm a 20 year old girl. I have been fairly well in my studies throughout. Since the time I had come to know that my grandpa is suffering from Multiple Myeloma (cancer), I am totally depressed and sad, thinking about him every moment, good old memories. As I am too connected to him. Although he's my grandpa, but I have considered him to be my brother as I am a single child to my parents. On 14th of December, he expired from heart failure. All he wanted is I pursue my PhD in future, and so do I wish. Problem is, I really cannot focus in my studies. All I do is try to sleep, otherwise when I am awake, just the thought of him makes me cry. I really miss him a lot. Even though I had studied and had been preparing while he was alive, what all I have studied then, I cannot recall anything. Everything seems new from the books. I am really petrified. Please suggest me Sir/Ma'am, what should be my initiative?

Dear lybrate-user, don't worry. You will come out of the present depressed situation really fast because there are no other alternatives. If you want to study and pursue phd, and if you want to live successful and peaceful life, you have to come out of the present depression. Refusing to do so, can play havoc in your life. People come and go, we should go forward. Take care.
