Just would to release my unbearable feelings over the loss of my sweet, caring & kind grandfather on 5th Dec. despite the fact that i am terribly sad, I'm glad as he doesn't have to fight cancer anymore. i don't how others deal with death of someone they love but to me this is so painful (here, writing this at 3am, because i cant sleep, missing him. and i cant even finish my 2 pages of articles!) i pray so hard that God bless his soul & let him rest him peace. btw, sorry to drop this message, but i just need to let it out so i could move on easily & less painful. hope someone out there could share similar ways of handling this especially when still studying, because i have never deal with death of the loved ones since i was 7years old (which i barely remember... so it doesn't hurt as much as this one).

yeah, thanx for the ideas. i did find few things based on your ideas. i did discuss with my supervisor, but he has not given any feedback. but i wasn't worry though as few told me he will be quite helpful when i am really stuck. my library (where i do my study at) does have inter-libabry loan, but it really taking a long time, as i am in Malaysia. but, thank you anyway, i'm getting my speed & motivation again! thanx alot guys.

well, i have just started my study 6months ago, and getting no way... i'm doing an area of integrated marketing communication in halal industry (sort of korsher food).. at this moment i'm having a very difficult time in getting articles/reading materials in this topic. i've been trying to subscribe/buy certain articles/journals, yet eventually it costing me due to high currency in my country. so, should i abandon this topic and change to another, because few told me if limited references available, would trap me at the end of the process... is it true? on the other hand, if i start fresh, then i'm wasting the 6 months.... yet get me no way... or did i do the wrong ways? any advice?

that is great! congratulation to u! u have made the journey!(up). btw, i'm new at this forum... any words of advice?

i am so lost as i have to balance up study & taking care of family... plus could some one help on how to specify a scope of study?
