On October 6, 2009, my 20-year-old son Erik, took his own life. Since that sad and tragic day, an overwhelming sense of grief and despair propelled me into a search for answers. Answers that would provide me and others with comfort and hope. Some of those answers came from the many books I bought, but many came from an unexpected source: Erik himself. Read more.

Kristina is in New York at a leadership conference in New York City and heard Joan Rivers speak during lunch.

Anyway, Kristina went on to tell...

Erik’s Eulogies

Don’t know why I feel compelled to share these, but here are the eulogies that were said at Erik’s memorial service in the order they were delivered. A lot of pain was felt by all that day. I guess I just wanted to share what an amazing soul our Erik was and is. Sigh. Kristina’s...

Prostitutes, Drug Addicts, Criminals and Robots in the Afterlife?

Channeling Transcript Me: One of the blog members wants to know if there are prostitutes, drug addicts and criminals in the afterlife. I mean, can you pay for the services of a prostitute, can you buy drugs, can you commit crimes there? Erik (laughing): Well, there aren’t any criminals, cuz there’s no crime here, Mom!...

Professor Patrick Bends Minds Again

Oh, and in yesterday’s channeling session, I asked Erik a lot about God,...

Ask Jason: Barby’s Questions

A couple of quick but important announcements: It looks like they won’t have to carve on Robert after all. The surgeon thinks it’s a huge hematoma (collection of clotted blood) rather than an abscess. Not sure how this can cause a white cell count of 21,000, but he may come home tomorrow!! I’m concerned that...

The Jason and Erik Show

Channeling Transcript Me: Okay, Erik, I’d like to ask about the baby I lost between you and Lukas. (To Jamie) I lost him in the 25th week of my pregnancy, and was devastated. Just devastated. I really felt a connect to that baby. What happened is after I had a routine amniocentesis, I was supposed...
