Hi Sunrise, I'm sorry to hear that you have had some bad news 
Stress from that might have raised your levels as your liver releases more glucose in response. What did you have to drink prior to the test? If fruit juice, that can have quite a lot of sugar in it. Ideally, you need to know your level prior to eating/drinking anything with carbs so you can compare afterwards. However, if you haven't been eating, this can also, paradoxically, raise your levels as your brain thinks you are starving and (again!) prompts your liver to release more glucose. Ideally, you should be around 4-6 prior to eating.
These sound like unusual circumstances, so don't worry about this too much and try again when you are feeling more settled and eating normally.
