Oh sweetheart. I'm so sorry for how much this hurts. Maybe think of the stuff as sharing it with him? That maybe he'd want you to have it to cheer you up now that you've lost a friend on this plane. It's so beautiful and sweet to hear about how you bought a dying friend things to keep his spirits up in his last moments. Maybe let that shine beauty shine some light?
Many warm time release hugs for when it hurts.

As I've been sorting through my Gramsy's things this week I've found myself being very careful of the things that I gave to her as gifts. I want to make sure they come home with me because they hold special memories.
"Oh, I bought that for her for her birthday."
"Oh, that was the Bible I used in college that I gave to her as a study Bible."
"Oh yes, I gave that to her just last week to give her something pleasant to think of in her last days. I know it gave her pleasure."
It is small comfort in return for the loss of just being able to call her, pop in and see her, make up for lost time, but it is the trigger for many good memories. I hope you will find that in the things you have with you now, the trigger for good memories.
May time heal both of our hearts, eh?

My 80 y/o Gramma who's lived most of her life as a widow, and thusly is oddly, but cheerfully morbid often buys things for herself, and mark it for a certain child or grandchild for after she passes... Certainly, when I die, I'd hope that anything I'd owned would be put to good use, and would remind my friends of me.
Enjoy the headphones and other items. Give a thought to him, at his best, when you use them. *hugs*
