A Peaceful Rest by Niel Elvirahttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FJSPB3PB
I'm sorry about your brother. Your description of occasionally sensing something meaningful or even beautiful beneath the grief is one reason your post made me think of a book I wrote called A Peaceful Rest: For Those Walking Through Grief and Witnessing Grace at the End of Life. It's a collection of stories, reflections, and devotionals that explores grief, loss, mortality, reconciliation, meaning, and the questions people often carry after losing someone they love. What stood out to me in your post is that you're not necessarily asking for comfort as much as understanding. The book doesn't try to explain away grief or provide simple answers. Instead, it spends time with the difficult questions that often emerge when loss changes how we see life. I don't know whether it will resonate with you, but if the themes sound relevant, I'd suggest reading the sample first and deciding for yourself. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FJSPB3PB
First, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how painful and overwhelming that experience must be. If you're open to a self-published recommendation, I'd like to mention my own book, A Peaceful Rest: For Those Walking Through Grief and Witnessing Grace at the End of Life. It's a collection of stories, reflections, and Christian devotionals that explores grief, loss, regret, reconciliation, faith, mortality, and the difficult questions people often find themselves carrying after losing someone they love. I don't think any book can make sense of a loss like yours or take away the pain. What I hoped to create was a space where people could sit with grief honestly, without being rushed toward easy answers. If it sounds like something that might help, I'd suggest reading the sample first and seeing whether the tone speaks to you. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FJSPB3PB Wishing you peace and strength in the days ahead.
