If someone close to you dies, it can affect you in many ways. It can also lead to many practical, academic and personal challenges. For example, you may need to take time out from Maynooth University to attend the funeral and you may need to miss some exams. You might find it difficult to concentrate on your programme or feel that you may not do as well as you normally would because of what has happened. 
    There are people in Maynooth University who you can talk to and many supports available to help you.
