Brandy’s brother has been finding it difficult to cope with Whitney’s death.

Whitney Houston's boyfriend, record producer Ray J, has agreed to counseling after his sister, singer-actress Brandy, thought it would help him come to terms with the untimely death of the pop icon last month.

Radar Online report a source close to the situation revealed: “Ray J is obviously absolutely devastated by the loss of Whitney, who he says was the love of his life.”

According the source Ray J is still in denial over Whitney’s death and has even saved voice mail messages on his mobile phone from her that he has been playing back.

The source added: “Ray is just numb and he needs to be able to start to deal with these feelings. Brandy and her brother are extremely close, and she has been a rock for him in the weeks since Whitney died.

“However, Brandy is also dealing with a huge loss, as she worked with Whitney professionally, and loved her like an older sister.”
