have had fall out on my grades through the semesters

The main reason being the sudden demise of my close friend that affected me very much and getting over this tragic incident took me a long time. this is the paragraph ive framed

I have had fall out on my grades through the semesters which was due to tragic demise of my close friend in a road accident, which affected me to the core. But slowly along with the support of my family I came out of it, bringing alongside into terms my friend's family. I have since then grown emotionally as a mature person. And emphatically I am onto upgrading my grades. I am aware that your university expects high standards from its students. On my part, I can assure you of my sincerity and hard work. I am confident that my enthusiasm will enable me to live up to your expectations. I sincerely hope you find my application worthy of your institution and grant me admission with adequate financial assistance.

Thanks for ua responses in advance!

bringing alongside into terms my friend's family? What do you mean by this? It's not very clear!
My suggestion;
My recovery from this traumatic experience was pretty slow but I did with the bakcing of my family. However, with this process I grew more emotionally matured.
