firstly, let me tell you, even though we don't know each other, how deeply saddened I feel for you with the loss of your brother. i remember loosing my own dear brother, then my sister. it's horrible.
seirra is right, we aren't taught how to handle death. then when it happens, we don't know how to find comfort and our friends don't know how to comfort us.
older people have seen death over and over, and they get the hang of how to handle it, both for their own losses and the losses of friends. younger people, well, it scares them. they don't know what to do or say.
forgive your friends. i am assuming that you are young, being that the texting thing was mentioned. you see, adults would never consider sending condolances by way of texting.
time heals all wounds, my dear. talk to someone who is older and can give you the comfort you are seeking.
