@Jillian007,
People say, I will never find love too. People say what is in their thoughts at that time.
Brandy has only just passed away in retrospect. He went through the process before the death to adopt her son. Her son, will always be in his life as his and he will always remember Brandy and have some love for her.
But, it doesn't mean that he can not love someone else, in time.. And, time is of the essence and always has been with your relationship.
I don't honestly even know if this will be a relationship. It has already been one for years but one of "comfort". The relationship you seek is of real love and there is no way, a man in my opinion, having just lost a love, can give you real love.
