    Your loss is very fresh. All of the emotions you describe are normal responses to losing an important loved one, normal but they don’t feel good at all. I hate not being able to call my husband to say hi. He usually called me a couple of times each day. Hurts not to have talked to him in weeks. It is not selfish to.feel some relief that your loved one is free of suffering. That comes from love but does not feel right sometimes - like you have no right to feel relief if he is gone. It sounds like your brother gave a lot to the world and was kind to others. It will help you to talk about his great qualities with others that are willing to listen. This honors him. Will pray for you to have peace.

    Take your time with his belongings. As long as you need is the right amount. I have not done anything yet with my husband’s things. It gives me some security to be where he was for now.
