That just means that you have to take care of yourself for him so when the time is right you can be able to take care of him again.

[And he plops himself to lean against his side. He's fine with just that really. Just enough to give his brother support.]
Just take things slow. One day at a time.

Just know you're not alone, okay? And neither is he. You both have people to help you through this.
