Welcome to the life and death stories website:

Once upon a time…
In den alten Zeiten wo das Wünschen noch geholfen hatte…
很久以前…
Habia una vez…

“The world is made of stories, not atoms” — Muriel Rukeyser

Myths and folktales contain the collective wisdom of other generations and cultures and can speak to us about the essential questions about life and death, living and dying.

On this website you can find the schedule of presentations, articles, storytelling resources, and CD’s with selected folktales from the collection of over 200 traditional folktales and myths on the topic of Death, Dying and Grief by the psychotherapist, hospice socialworker and storyteller Christel Lukoff, Ph.D.
