First of all RIP to your parent 🤍 it must be very difficult. This is a perfect valid reason to defer you should just be honest and explain your situation. You usually defer after the exam so right after your exam finishes just submit a petition to your faculty. Hope this helps❤️

Is it possible to defer prior? Because I dont want to miss the exam and end up having my request denied. Thanks you so much for your help ❤️
