    I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. Been there and done that I'm sorry to say. My guess is he would want you to go for the exam. Just don't give yourself too much to do in any one sitting. Little and often would be my advice. You may actually find it helps to take your mind off it and if it does..... don't feel guilty about it. Good luck, and remember, he is still alive in your heart.

    Sorry to hear about your dad, all you can do is try your best, your dad wouldn't want you not to sit the exam as he'd want the best for you and your future

    Sorry to hear about your Dad, like the others I think if you can just do a little bit at a time - sit down and set of target of completing one page or one section at a go, try not to get too disheartened if you don't manage it. My brother was diagnosed with cancer the day before I took my foundation exam last year and the hardest thing I have ever done was to walk into the exam room - the first few minutes were filled with 'I can't do this' etc but once I started it was ok. My brother has made a full recovery and I passed - slightly different to your situation but give it all you can.

    Thanks for all your messages, I went back to work today and although i wasn't looking forward to it I got through the day really well and feel much better.

    I have done one of them life audit thingys and i have to do the aat if i am to achieve all the things i want to, i have written my list for the future years and am going to start studying and give it my best shot, and if i don't manage it there is always dec.

    Going to do my best to look to the future and i have a long list for myself, so am going to focus on working through my life.

    Thanks for your support x
