As his older brother, I feel responsible and obligated to at least comfort him and try to make him feel better; I want him to know that I care about him. However, I don't know what to tell him.About my relationship with him: he is about 8 yrs younger and we normally don't talk much about relationships, etc. with each other.What should I tell him? how should I start a conversation with him?THanks Reply to this Question

No, they did not break up. On the contrary, as far as I know, they like each other a lot.
Since I was never in his situation, what should he do to cope with her absence?

 just be natural with him. ask how he is feeling about it, let him tell you, if you have any similar experience share it with him. you don't need to have a full on heart to heart conversation with him if you are not normally like that with each other but you could arrange a fun trip with him, give him something to look forward to and it will remind him that you are not only his brother but his friend too. there is no magic wand to cure someone's broken heart, they have to do it their self and words are often not really heeded at times like this. just let him know that you are there for him. why not arrange a trip somewhere with him so you can get a bit of bonding time?
