R.I.P. Kyle Lone Wolf
My bro took his life last Thursday.
Saturday night me and some of my cousins were gathered to dress him in tradtional buckskin clothes. We sang tradtional songs & bathed his cold body with rose water to clean him up. This has been the 3rd time in my life were I dressed a brother & it is very hard. Especially knowing this is it there is no more.
After the viewing of the body we sang a few more songs then we pushed him in the incinerator.
Yesterday we had services for my bro where he grew up in the middle of the woods @ the ceromonial grounds where I go to have ceromony. We gathered & enjoyed our final day speaking upon his life & then spread his sister spread his ashes in an open meadow on the camp site.
**** Side note - For all of you who drink think about it do I truly need to drink. I have buried many aunts/uncles/brothers/ & sisters due to alcohol related incidents. I myself went off the deepend & been sober 10 months now & I happier that I don't have/use alcohol in my life anymore.
