My brother cannot forget her, I tried explaining him and cosoling him..but no use..? he always becomes v. depressed.

Answer
Your brother is fortunate for having been successful in influeincing the girl to Islam. He will be immersely rewarded for that. The girl is also fortunate. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Whosoever recites the Kalima (accepts Islam) and passes away will enter paradise.' (Bukhari).
It is natural for your brother to be sad and depressed at the loss of the girl who he loved and hoped to marry. It is our advice that he be given time to recover from this apparent set back. He should also be advised to be patient and seek Allah's reward in his grief. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) also went through these difficulties with life.
May Allah Ta'ala grant your brother courage and a speedy recovery, Aameen.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
