I’ve had a number of readers submit questions to the Ask Erik column who are depressed. Many are in crisis, at a crossroads and in despair. Some are admittedly contemplating suicide. As a physician, my impulse is to help by giving them various resources and a compassionate ear. As a mother, my impulse is to…

Crisis of Faith

The last couple of months have been difficult for me. I haven’t really felt Erik’s presence for what seems like an eternity. No sounds, no signs, no smells, no nothing. This paucity of evidence along with my ever-present tendency to analyze and doubt has begun to erode my faith. Yesterday, I had an epiphany about…

Finding Strength in the Dark Forest of Grief

Elisa MedhusMay 14, 2010in Afterlife, Bereaved, Channeling, Crossing over, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Heaven, Life, Messages from the dead, Struggles, Suicide

Many readers have commented on how strong I am despite having just lost a son. After all, can there be any greater travesty than the death of one’s child? For me, no nightmare is as grim. The grief is still raw and fresh like an open wound. Yet since my blog explores the “upside” to…

And now for the next question presented to Erik through psychic medium, Kim O’Neill. Please note that I’ve obscured the last name for privacy issues. Tom’s “Ask Erik” submission: Hi Elisa, Stanley is a friend of mine and back in February, he emailed me a link to your blog here. At the time I thought…

Erik has done so much to help us peons here on Earth. Oftentimes, our struggles compel us to flirt with suicide, so when Erik offers his wisdom and insight, it lights our way with hope and a newfound desire to continue our human experience, however trying and burdensome. The next several posts will include submissions…

Understanding Erik

Elisa MedhusApril 15, 2010in Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Life, Love, Struggles, Suicide

Erik was often misunderstood by so many. He sometimes came across as intense and disheveled. He was tormented by tics and an addiction for cigarettes. But behind all that was a diamond in the rough. Few were kinder. Few were more loving. Few were as understanding. Few were as willing to sacrifice for others. Sometimes…

Love One, Death Zero

Elisa MedhusApril 14, 2010in After Death Communication, Bereaved, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death, Grief, Grieving, Love, Struggles, Suicide

My next series of questions focus on Erik’s big sister, Kristina, who is currently finishing up her second year in medical school. She’s had little or no time to stop and catch her breath since his death, much less go through the full grieving process. His suicide came as such a violent shock to all…

Punked Again!

Elisa MedhusApril 7, 2010in After Death Communication, Bereaved, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death of a Child, Energy, Ghosts and Spirits, Grief, Grieving, Spirit visitation, Spirits moving objects, Spiritual presence, Suicide

Let me start by saying I have this thing about being organized. Very organized. I have lists for everything, even lists of my lists. This personality trait probably evolved because of my ADHD as a means of finding order in my own personal chaos. I don’t know if I could have survived medical school otherwise….

From the Beginning

Elisa MedhusApril 2, 2010in After Death Communication, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Crossing over, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Orbs, Psychic medium, Struggles, Suicide

Many of you are new to the site, so I’d like to re-post entries from the beginning so that you won’t miss anything that might either interest you, endow you with a new understanding of all things spiritual, or help heal those who have also suffered a tragic loss. Let’s begin with the life and…

Ask Erik: Jean’s Questions

Elisa MedhusMarch 29, 2010in After Death Communication, Afterlife, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Guardian Angel

The next question is from a bereaved mother very much like me. In fact, her son, Tyler, died only 9 days before Erik’s death and both were just 20 years old at the time of their passing. Here is the mother’s submission to Erik: “Erik, my son died 5 months ago. Do you meet strangers…

Ask Erik: Stanley’s Questions

Elisa MedhusMarch 26, 2010in After Death Communication, Afterlife, Bereaved, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Guardian Angel, Life, Struggles, The Soul

As many of you know, the blog has an “Ask Erik” section through which anyone can submit a question to my deceased son. I pose these questions to him each time I have a channeling session with the psychic medium. The next several posts will reveal the enormous insight Erik has gained as a discarnate…

Creativity and Knowingness

Elisa MedhusMarch 23, 2010in After Death Communication, Afterlife, Bereaved, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death of a Child, Grieving, The Soul

In this next part of the channeling session through psychic medium, Kim O’Neill, Erik shares his heightened love for creativity. He’s always had a creative streak, but that flame at best smoldered when he was in the depths of depression. Between those horrible bouts, he was an incredible self-taught musician who mastered classical guitar, electric…

Erik Meets Michael and Kevin

Elisa MedhusMarch 12, 2010in After Death Communication, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Psychic medium

I’ve learned since Erik’s death that many bereaved parents seek solace from those who have suffered a similar loss. I am no exception to that rule. Bittersweet as it is, I’ve had the honor of meeting two lovely women. One lost her son while he was driving drunk. The other lost her bipolar son to a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. We have been meeting for dinner each month to share our grief, our words of comfort and our tales of when our sons have contacted us. Rebecca, the mother of the bipolar son, asked me to pose a question to Erik, through psychic medium Kim, of course. Here is the transcription of that part of the session.

Playing with Arley

Elisa MedhusFebruary 26, 2010in After Death Communication, Afterlife, Bereaved, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Guardian Angel

I’ve heard it said that small children are able to channel the dead easily. They see and interact with their spirit guides, as well as their departed friends, family and ancestors. I believe this is why many children have imaginary friends who they play with, have tea parties with and invite to the dinner table…

Erik’s Perspective on Life, Death and Relationships

Elisa MedhusFebruary 16, 2010in Afterlife, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Crossing over, Death, Death of a Child, Energy, Grief, Guardian Angel, Life, Love, Suicide

In a recent channeling session with psychic medium, Kim O’Neill, Erik shares a more detailed account of his transition to the afterlife. He also reveals the new perspective he has on his life and his relationship with others, a perspective of a wise and enlightened soul unencumbered by the mental and emotional baggage that often…

Small Miracles

Elisa MedhusFebruary 4, 2010in Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death, Death of a Child, Energy, Grief, Struggles, Suicide

Losing a child, particularly to suicide, is gut wrenching. It lends an entirely new perspective on the term, “a broken heart,” because every morning when I wake up and realize that ‘yes, Erik is still dead; it wasn’t all some horrible dream,’ I feel like a dagger has been plunged to the hilt into my…

Erik’s Visit to Aunt Laura

Elisa MedhusFebruary 2, 2010in Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Love, Struggles, Suicide, The Soul

My younger sister, Laura, always had a special connection with Erik, perhaps because they shared some of the same struggles, perhaps because they shared the same philosophy of life. Whatever the reasons, she was particularly devastated by his death. I’m certain Erik sensed her grief and came to comfort her one day in the wee…

Death and Channeling, Part III

Through the medium, Kim O’Neill, Erik shared volumes of information about death, but I wanted to start by letting him know that, although I would like to channel him on my own, my grief makes it difficult to have the quiet mind necessary to hear him. Here’s his response: “I’m just going to have to…

Death, Continued

Elisa MedhusJanuary 21, 2010in Afterlife, Channeling, Death, Death of a Child, Dreams, Ghosts and Spirits, Quantum Physics of the Soul, Struggles, Suicide, The Physics of Consciousness, The Physics of Heaven, The Physics of Thought, The Soul

I’d like to dive in to where I left off in the first channeling session with Erik. As he mentioned, after he saw his body and voiced dismay at the “mess” he created and his concerns about how we would react when we found him, he escaped to Norway to visit his grandfather, Bestefar. I’ll get…

First Channeling

Elisa MedhusJanuary 19, 2010in Afterlife, Channeling, Death, Death of a Child, Ghosts and Spirits, Grief, Struggles, Suicide, The Soul

Grasping for contact of any sort with a lost loved one is natural. Years before, I would have considered channeling through a medium a little wacky, great fodder for jokes, even. But when Erik died, things I once doubted became urgent lifelines for me to cling to in hope. However skeptical at first, when I…

Erik’s First Visits

Elisa MedhusJanuary 11, 2010in Afterlife, Channeling, Death, Death of a Child, Dreams, Energy, Ghosts and Spirits, God, Grief, Suicide, The Soul

After Erik’s death, my entire family and I plunged into a state of numbness. We were shaken by a grief so profound each minute seemed like an eternity. Making the funeral arrangements from choosing a casket and burial plot to deciding what clothes he should wear in his perpetual sleep was an agony that clawed…
