Expert on grief teaches people
ways of handling the inevitable
By Kim (Prison
Of th* I'imM
It's a Saturday morning, say.
and you're making omelets for
out-of-town visitors. 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

Conscious Dying and Living
Relationships.” Levine is
recognized for his work with
the dying and is a consultant for
hospital and meditation groups
nationwide
The workshop hen? will teach
people the art of “being
wholeheartedly in the mo
ment." 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

“It take* the same degree of
letting go that dying takes,", he
says, explaining . why' the
workshop is called "Dying Into
Life."
And letting go is a never
ending process. "I'm learning,

fully alive,” •••-. - -
