Apart from lots of cuddles, what can I do. I even thought of getting another kitty but I don't feel ready myself.

Just been through something similar myself - our female siamese died suddenly and unexpectedly a few weeks ago, and her brother was inconsolable. They were litter mates - had never been separated and had done everything together for 11 years. He needed lots of loving and lots of hugs and nursing, but he was definitley helped by Harleyfudge, our maine coon. Up to then they had not taken much notice of each other, but Harlefyudge seemed to sense Ono's distress and started to curl up and sleep with him. He still misses his sister, but things are settling down. So I'd advise that as soon as you feel able to accept another cat, you get another. Hope it all works out
