My fiancé (he was Saginaw Chippewa and over 27%). and I were on his motorcycle (brand new) Harley Davidson. We were on an expressway and traffic was stopped due to construction. We were at the back of the stalled traffic and a semi tractor trailer hit me first, he never stopped and I was thrown. My fiancé didn’t survive and passed at the scene. This happened 8/29/20. I was critically injured and hospitalized for a month. Lots of physical healing, however I missed the ceremony, the funeral and any form of closure. I grew up respectful of Native Americans. My father created authentic bows, quivers, arrows and arrowheads. Then he created numerous peace pipes and they’re priceless to us. I now make spirit feathers and plan to try a peace pipe. Anyway, I’m having such a hard time with the grief, is it ok that I try to have my family help me with a ceremony. I’m not able to go to his family’s ghost dinner or anything because of legal issues. I’m lost without him, he both knew that we had found our soul mates, I lost my happily ever after with such a good man, unfortunately I’m nearly 57 and know I won’t see a future, I see loneliness. Is it ok for my family to help with the ceremony? I’ve researched through you but would have to adapt them and keep it the same as much as I’m allowed.
