Don't panic on base of assumptions about something like PTSD , specially when we haven't yet diagnosed it.
Memory loss is an umbrella term , it can have various patterns and different reasons .
Don't worry , psychotherapies and medical world have progressed very well with effective results .
We will need to understand what type of memory loss is this , and then we can treat it.
But reach out for professional help.

Hi, I understand it can be tough to lose a sibling. It seems like you are feeling stressed and upset and you are not able to concentrate. To get help you can consult a psychiatrist and consider counseling. You can consult a psychiatrist first and then a psychologist.
Do not worry what you are going through may not affect your future. You can explain about your condition in detail with a psychologist who will guide you with ways to feel calm.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist and psychologist.

Hi... Sometimes I our mind chooses to forget painful past experiences in order to maintain our daily functioning. It's like a maladaptive defensive mechanism. Those things are not getting resolved instead they are getting buried in your subconscious mind. You need to start your therapy again and address those issues (PTSD after brother's death).
