I'm sorry to hear about your family.

You can't apply to renew your PR card from outside of Canada. You will have to apply for a Travel Document under humanitarian and compassionate reasons and include proof (e.g. hospitalization records, doctors records) to show that you were unable to return to Canada and meet the residency obligation because you were taking care of ill family members. If the TD is approved, you will then have to return to Canada before you will be able to renew your PR cards.
