Helping poodle after loss of his brother

I am in extreme pain.

Our very first mini poodle, the OG died yesterday. On Monday him and his brother were running around playing barking being happy little dudes and suddenly Tuesday we are in the vets office being told we don’t have much time left for our older boy.

He was 10 years old and passed from Haemangiosarcoma
- I’ve never heard of this condition before, it’s a cruel cancer that works rapidly, we lost him 48 hours after diagnosis. I can’t even process this

Now my stress is doubled because his little brother is a 5 year old toy poodle with terrible anxiety. These two boys have spent every single day together, my older boy was almost the younger ones therapy dog - they were inseparable. One helped calm the other

Thankfully I work from home so 6 days a week the little one will be with me but one day a week I have to go in to the office and he will need to now be alone.

He is afraid of other people and other dogs so having a house sitter or doggy daycare is out of the question

Please help me think of some solutions - its an added stress to an already horrendous week
