I’m sorry to hear of your loss @Gordonm bereavement is a hard thing to deal with. All I can say is that I lost my sister to pneumonia and other complications some ten years ago and it still hurts though not as much as it did at the time, I had all sorts of feelings when it happened including anger at a life taken so relatively young, aged fifty two. But time does heal and I wish that for you too.
God bless and once again I am truly sorry for your loss,
(there are organisations who can help with the bereavement process eg;https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/coping-with-bereavement/

Sorry for your loss and hope you get some support from the suggestions from others
We all deal with loss in different ways but it is important you reach out and talk if you are struggling to come to terms with the loss
Take care0 -

Hi @Gordonm
I'm very sorry for your loss, and please know that the community is here to support you.
I'd definitely recommend that you take a look through some of the links that leeCal helpfully posted.
What kind of specific advice are you after? How are you coping at the moment?0 -
I havn't seen my brother from the start of covid but I have spoken to him on the phone
We were supposed to go out for a coffee when the restriction was relaxed but he had to cancel
Next thing he was in hospital and 5 days later he was dead
I wasn't even allowed to go to the funeral so it's been difficult to get my head around this0 -
Thank you Cressida0

Gosh, that must have been such a shock @Gordonm.
Do you have any other family that you could speak to about this?0 -

I'm sorry to hear that @Gordonm. Have you been able to contact any of the organisations listed above?
I think it's important to remember that the grief might never really 'go away', but rather your life grows around the grief, which makes it feel a little smaller. Here's an illustration to demonstrate that:
