Missing my Little Brother

On Dec. 22, 2006 my little brother was shot in the head while serving in Iraq. He was unstable when they contacted my parents and I. The army was able to fly my parents out to Germany to be at his side. When they were at the hospital by his side they knew his spirit was no longer there and they had to pull the plug on him. My brother died on Christmas morning.
I was able to enjoy most of the holiday until I received the news later that day that he didn't make it. Being that I am pregnant I was unable to go with my parents to Germany. I was extremely close to my brother and spoke to him hours before he was shot. I honestly did not want to believe that he was gone. The funeral service was extremely hard.
Now a couple of months have passed and my family and I are all still in shock that he is gone. There hasn't been a day that I haven't thought of my little brother. I wish he was still here expecially now when I need him the most.
Does it get any better? Is there ever going to be a time when I can talk about him or look at a picture of him without breaking down?
