I think that's why I'm getting stuck on it, that this letter is for myself essentially, but it's guised as an "apology" letter to my brother, which doesn't sit well with me.
Thank you for sharing and your thoughts.

Maybe you should rewrite the letter to be something you want to express to your brother. There's nothing wrong with apologizing. I think we all can look back at our lives and especially with ones that have passed on and feel some type of regret. But you shouldn't have to apologize for a regret. A regret is punishment enough for most of us. But you know all this stems from guilt. This is something your therapist should help you work through without dragging you through the mud about it. Healing has it's ups and downs, so be patient with yourself.
