My condolences. I can only tell you something my father told me a long time ago, which has helped me deal with some rough times in my own life. To wit: the loss of your brother will always hurt, every time you think of it, without fail. Over time, though, the length of time between each instance of thinking about it will get longer. Put simply, it won't hurt less, just less often.
Leave some room in your life for that hurt, and when it comes, don't fight it. Just have faith that over time it'll come less often, and the painful blazes will be overshadowed by happier memories of good times you shared.
