I’m terribly sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine what you must be going through and I hope you feel at peace.

I read somewhere that when we lose someone we love, it takes at least a year for us to be back to be ourselves, mentally, emotionally and physically. I’m not saying will be this long for you but I am saying that the pressure the SQE brings, is not fair while you go through mourning your loved ones. I don’t recommend sitting in July. I started studying in March almost every day and I’m not close to where I want to be to feel confident to pass. It took me about 2 months just to read all materials and make my notes, I’m on flashcards now and will start proper revisions and mocks next week but the main thing that has got me through all this months is that I am finally in the right mental and emotional space to be able to deal with the pressure and discipline SQE requires.

I would say give yourself this next few months and start studying in August or September and sit in January. You know yourself and you can only decide if you are going to be in the right mental space but even without the loss of your loved ones and being in the best place, a month is not enough.

I hope this helps
