Supporting my DH

My beautiful SIL died last year, in December, breast cancer. She was young with kids blah blah.. The story is about as awful as it gets. We are all completely heartbroken.
Anyway, my poor DH 😢 They had such a strong sibling bond. He misses her dreadfully. He is a man who doesn't cry, doesn't show any outward emotions, ever, even at her funeral. But he's really struggling. I can see this, he gets cross if I "make" him talk. He told me he's throwing himself into his work in an effort to try and forget about it.
How can I help him? I feel we are all under such a strain with this. 😞
I can't say or do anything to change the situation we are in. It's too bloody sad.

I don't think counselling would be a goer 😞.

Thanks
