Honey, I too lost my younger brother, (AIDS) Danny was like my twin. I'm an atheist but I DO believe the writing above is true.
Death isn't an ending, it's actually a new beginning, we are just passing through a veil to a (Usually) higher plane of existence.
I don't believe in a hell, those who resist spiritual evolution in this lifetime, simply have to come back and learn to evolve through rough but life changing experience. Self realization.
Your brother is just fine as is mine. In fact, probably having a better time than you and I are. LOL
Be happy. Be well. Happy Thanksgiving.
