I am another person who had a grandmother die just before exams (that is the short story, the long story is far messier). I managed to push it aside and got good grades for the exams themselves, but I felt so guilty in the weeks and months that followed that I made a real mess of the next semester (to the point that I simply had to withdraw from all my papers and take a break). Not sure what I would do if I met/knew someone faking a death for those sort of reasons...
