The Death Volume – FOLKLIFE Magazine

Featuring wonderful vegan Monsoon Coast recipes and a story from Chef Shadel.

For the soul seekers. The life questioners. The ones asking what it all means.

The Death Volume’s stories explore how we are one—with the trees and with the cosmos. It tells us of love—between a daughter and mother, a daughter and father, a woman and her unborn children. It speaks of death doulas, death cafés, celebrating death, and the death—or re-creation—of ourselves.

This volume exists because of death’s reminder to live. And in that sense, that we are grateful for it. Our little lives rounded off with a sleep.

In these pages:

• Reflections on life after death
• Conversations with death doulas, the ones left behind, creatives, and the ones that were reborn
• Stories of MAID and celebrations and forest restoration
• Photography and essays that challenge how we live and where we go when we die.

Like all volumes of FOLKLIFE, this one is printed to last and designed to live beyond the moment—on shelves, in hands, and in hearts.

For those who believe in our immortality, and that there’s wisdom in embracing it.
