The best way you can help is suggest he talks to others who have gone through it or suggest bereavement counselling. You could also help by talking to him about his wife. Its a really big thing to go through losing your partner and can take years to get over.
Hopefully Doc Alan is reading this and might be able to suggest something.
Think i was lucky as i had to focus on bringing up my 3 kids at the time. Thankfully the youngest is now 18 (next week) but it was a tough time. Your brother needs all the help he can get but may be unable to ask for it.
