Horrible news!
I have not been training for my run on the 6th of May and I got the e-mail of where to go to pick up my bib and where the race begins. (has trained once last week and no days this week except some minor weight training.)
What should I do to get myself back to speed?

THIS!
2012 Reading Challenge
Okay. Quick refresher-
sucky situation- missed some training days.
Horrible news- in need of a full knee replacement, my mom died, I broke both my legs etc.
When you said horrible news, I expected to read that you had some major injury or something. Not that it dawned on you that you have a race in 2.5 weeks that you've kind of procrastinated on training for. A poster on D&R posted today that her H had a major stroke and died this week. That's horrible news. So step 1 is perspective. Step 2 is putting your shoes on, heading out the door, and doing a run that you're comfortable with, distance wise. Then doing it again, and again, and building up to the race distance in the next 2.5 weeks if you're not already there. Alternatively, step 2 is deciding that you can't get there in 2.5 weeks, so you're going to sit this one out rather than get a horrible-news type injury.
two years!

Your news is not the end of the end of the world.
Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on our part.
GTFO there and run.

My dad passed away last Friday, I haven't worked out in 13 weeks due to caring for him full time, and I still finished a half marathon last night.
Suck it up
((hugs)) I lost my dad last May after a prolonged illness , and lost my mom 3 weeks ago, also after a prolonged illness. Sucks.
Seriously. I'm very sorry for you both
OP - my training for my last half got sidelined due to complications of my 10th through 12th rounds of chemotherapy, but I still ran it 3 weeks after I finished. SUCK IT UP and get out there.
