How can I help my little brother?

I spoke to my younger bro today. His wife has left him, as she has met someone else she wants to be with. They've been married for 8 years, since she was 18 and he was 20 (she was pg when they married). They have 2 children of 7 and 3.
He's devastated, still very much in love with her despite all that has happened. He's worried about his little boys.
This is just so alien to me - cant imagine no matter what not being with dh of 12 yrs - I dontn know how I can help. What can I do, except call him and be there when he needs to talk???
Thanks

He is still very young and will need lots of hugs and love.maybe his wife will not stay with her other lover and want your brother back .Just be there for your brother and try to make sure he has plenty of company so he dont feel so lonely.GOOD LUCK.

Perhaps try and reassure him that part of the problem might be that he and his wife got together at such a young age, she is wondering what she missed - it's actually no reflection on him - more her problem.

Must still hurt like hell though.
