My deepest condolences on your loss. I thought I would share the words a friend of mine shared with me when I lost my brother. They helped me cope with his loss, and I hope they offer you the same solace..

It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles
back again.
