My son wrote his essay on the suicide of a dear friend of his that happened during his junior year during exam week. He did not focus on it as a reason for his lower grades, but rather
used it as an opportunity to describe an important relationship in his life and discuss what he learned and how he grew.

It was a phenomenal essay and I think i instrumental in helping him gain admission to his first choice college

If you use your experience to show the schools who you are, it will be powerful. Do not try to use it as an excuse

Good luck, I am truly sorry for the losses you experienced
