A month has passed since Whitney Houston's spirit was taken away from this world.  Many of her family members and friends have shown that they have found ways of coping with her death.  

Ray J, however, is still seriously struggling with accepting the fact that she is gone.

His close and loving sister Brandy has apparently stepped in to help him in the best way she knows how. A source close to both Ray and Brandy has said that she is strongly encouraging him to go and seek counseling.  

The source told Radar Online:

"Ray J is obviously absolutely devastated by the loss of Whitney, who he says was the love of his life.  Even though a month has passed since she died, Ray still can't believe that Whitney is gone. He has saved voice mail messages on his cell phone from her that he has been listening to. His sister Brandy has urged him to go to counseling to deal with this loss, and he has finally agreed.  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. Brandy recognizes that she can only help her brother so much. Ray has promised Brandy he will see someone, however, knowing how 'take charge' Brandy is, she will probably find a mental health professional and make the arrangements for him."

Ray J expressed his emotional pain about losing Whitney as recently as March 10th, when he said, "I really miss my friend, you know, I really do.  I'm still hurting."
