My cat Tinker Toy visits this spot on the lake multiple times a day. Its where we found his brother's body. What can we do to help Tinker Toy heal?

The pictures are crap. My heart is breaking for Tinker. Him and his brother were the best of friends. We have other cats, as we live on a farm. But Tinker is down on the banks of the lake everyday, morning to sundown. Just sitting. Standing. I think hoping for his brother to come home. I dont know how to help him heal. Its been maybe a month since his brother Angel Babyface died. He showed my husband where Babyface's body was, and he was buried while i was at work. We have had these 2 since they were kittens. Ive included a picture for the Tinker Tax....

** edited to say that we live on a farm, very rural. yes, they go outside. i bring them inside as much as possible All Our cats were feral babies and/or adults, that were adopted from the humane society's "working cats" prgram. We love them very much..

**edited again to say that the cats we have are Working Cats from the Humane Society. They are adopted out to farmers and people in rural areas because the humane society has determined they will do better with jobs to do, outdoors on farms, then being household pets. Just because they are working cats, it doesnt mean they are loved any less. Many of them were barn litters that didnt get properly socialized, or were dumped. The humane society we have near us is a no kill shelter, so they adopt them out this way instead of euthanizing them, so the cats and kittens still have a chance at a happy life. And yes, I know that inside cats have a much longer lifespan than outdoor cats. Working Cats have been given a chance for a good life on a farm instead of being euthanized by the shelter, which I 100% support and stand behind. I will always support the working cats program, and thr humane society. I do not regret getting any of my feral cats/working cats from them. ​

**one more edit.... this is where Babyface's body was found, by my husband, because Tinker showed him. We dont know why Babyface passed. All the working cats that we have ever adopted on our farm are/have been current on their vaccines, are spayed and neutered, and are very much loved. **

**my last edit..... i am so sorry this post has made people sad. I am heartbroken for Tinker, and just wanted to know if there was anything I could/should do for him. I didnt mean to make everyone else sad. and I am so sorry I am late in responding to posts..... I only posted this a little while ago, and its blown up way more than I ever thought it would. I thought maybe id get 5 comments on my horrible photos. I will do my best to respond to people as quickly as I can. I appreciate all the kind words and comments. ***
