As you crack the last of a dozen eggs, the phone rings. You answer and recognize your mother's voice, although you can barely hear it oyer the din in the kitchen. You ask what's new. thinking it's strange that she's calling again so soon; you just talked to both of your parents Thursday evening. From hundreds of miles away, she's saying things that you cannot believe, and for a moment you wonder if ytwr knees can support your body. They do not. and suddenly you're screaming in spite of yourself, really shrieking on the kitchen floor, the phone dangl ing against the wall. Your father has been killed in a car accident, and oh some level it has dawned on you that your life will never be the same: Grief is practically in escapable, something that we ail must confront. More than sadness, it is also anger, guilt, fear and doubt, says Stephen lasvine, nationally known direc tor of the Hanuman Foundation Dying Project. “One of the most remarkable qualities about grief is not how separate you feel from someone when they die but... how separate you always felt from them.’* he says. Grieving becomes a healing process when one carefully examines his or her grief, thereby discovering “what’s down below." Levine, 4ft, is the author of "Who Dies?" and coauthor of "Grist for the Mill." He will be in Fugene on Tuesday to con duct a workshop called "Dying Into Life: An Investigation of THE PROGRESSIVE SALON yaffle Still Looking For Your Spring Tan? Sunshine Don?

Levine says. "To really be alive we have to let go of everything that is old: our old ways of seeing, our old ways of thinking..." so that we can ac cept. not resist fate, he says. That acceptance is difficult. Levine says, hut is the essence of his teachings. At a recent workshop, for in stance, a woman spoke of her 21-year-old son. who had com mitted suicide the day after she kicked him out of the house. As the woman shared more details about her son, who was a drug abuser and had been an unusually violent and cruel per son. Irvine comforted her and told h^r she had done the right thing. The woman revealed her son also had fold, her he was afraid of abusing children “I said that he wasn't afraid of abusing ^children.” -Levine recalls "fie did abuse children He was testing this -mother) ‘For most people, 99.9 percent of their life is an afterthought.
