Hello Tats1981
I can't I'm afraid but I know someone who might be able to help . Greyone can you offer some help here? <3
Hi Tats. That's a very big and important question you have there. So i hope between us all we can help you towards something suitable. As your a stranger in need I'll try with a few starters.
Do you want a lovely verse he would like or a verse that talks about him ?
For the former then it would have to be something you knew he liked.
My favourite poem is IF... . On my bedroom wall i have the Serenity Prayer so i might like a few lines from either of them. Did your brother have any favourite poems, verses of books ?
I have just typed "verses for headstones brother" into Bing and come up with many possibilities such as:
Help your brother's boat across,
and your own will reach the shore.
That is a Hindu proverb i rather like now and you can interpret brother in several ways. I think the intent is a literal brother but it can be read as such.
I have just come across this and i genuinely think it is terrific. "quotesbae.com/25-short-memo...
It starts:
My Brother you will never know
How much i truly loved you so.
Do please try out that url and see if the verse resonates with you at all. I think its incredible.
Also try the bit i tried , that has lots and lots of ideas.
I hope all this helps you and do please let us know what you settle on. In doing so you might inspire others.
Hope you managed to get through the block. It might help to talk with another relative of a friend of your brother, or just to keep it simple.
Personally I would like 'late again' on my tombstone as I have had a tendency in life to turn up late for things. 
To be honest, I also thought for a very long time that I should write on the tombstone of my best friend when he died. His mother knew how close we were and that it was as much a tragedy for me as it was for them. I know that to go to another world in a dream is the best death, but he left us too soon. He didn't even have time to live, and we are already choosing what we will write on his mattosmonuments.com/slant-h... slant headstone maker . I hope you will not have such a tragedy and your loved ones will always live happily ever after. And that they and you will have a lot of time to live. And you will live it the way you want it.
Dad, grandad and nanna
How can I grieve properly?
