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.

Love and Fear

I’m having a great time here in the beautiful Dominican Republic and enjoying everything gratis thanks to Rune’s company. Yay! Rune has a boring meeting in the morning until noon, so I’ll have to figure out a way to entertain myself. Maybe a facial at the spa?  I’m sorry I haven’t had time to read...

Erik Makes an Appearance

Bonus post! I couldn’t leave town without posting these video and audio clips blog member, Jamie Bailey, so graciously sent me. In the video, you see Erik’s blue orb flying around. In the audio clip, you hear him saying, “Okay” after Jamie asks him to bring in her grandpa. It’s captured on a special ghosthunter app...

Loss of Looks

Yesterday was bittersweet. Everyone except his younger sister, Annika, circled around a small chocolate cake topped with lit candles. We Facetimed Annika in, so she could join in. She lives an hour and a half away. We sang (miserably out of tune) the usual Happy Birthday song, and, out of habit, finished with, “and many...

Loss of Power

Well, today is Erik’s birthday, always a bit of a somber day for my family and me. Sure, we know he’s still alive, but in another dimension, but we miss watching him open presents. We miss singing him “Happy Birthday” around a cake topped with candles. We miss the hugs and kisses afterwards. We miss...

More Erik Encounters

The Two-fer

The Erik stories keep coming in faster than I can post them, so I think I’ll post two at a time sometimes. These are wonderful. Thanks for submitting them, guys!  Story One June 16, 2015 We all know that when it rains, it pours. Believe it or not. In the last two months, two of...

Right and Wrong

I had my favorite dream last night. I dreamed that I was sometime in the past, I think the 70s, enrolled in my old high school. Okay, that wasn’t my favorite part. I kept having to explain to the students that, yes, I was a 60 year-old classmate, which they thought was pretty gross. Plus,...

Feel First; Think Second

If you missed it live, listen to my recent interview on My Live Paranormal Experience. Just click HERE! Now enjoy today’s post on thinking with the heart. Me: Okay. Along the same lines, you say, “Feel first; think second.” I can’t remember when, but you said you have to think with your heart. How in the...

Erik on the Prowl

I’m driving back from New Orleans after a very short but adventure packed weekend. By adventure, I mean the challenge of remaining the sole sober person in the French Quarter and avoiding a meal consisting of over 10,000 calories. I rose to that challenge with success despite some strong temptations. Word to the wise: Don’t...

A Sign to my Brother

Before reading this poignant story, I want to remind you all again of the two upcoming radio shows. From 11:00 PM PT/1:00 AM CT/2:00 AM ET and for three hours, Erik (through Kim Babcock) and I will be on Coast to Coast, and Erik and I will both be taking questions from callers or those...

God and Ants

I want to thank everyone for supporting Erik. He was crazy happy in our session day before yesterday, and he said it’s all because of how you guys are loving his book, writing reviews and spreading the word. A number of people who aren’t even blog members have been pranked by him, and so far...

Time and Reality

One thing I noticed from the feedback about Erik’s new book is that people are really getting a picture of what his life was like and what a profound tragedy this was for my family and me. It’s easy to forget, while reading post after post, that this was all borne through something horrific and...

Where to Begin

If you're new to Channeling Erik, I recommend you read the backstory first. Then, I suggest you start with the very first post. In doing so you can follow my journey just as I did, through the inexplicable, inconceivable, and yet utterly undeniable surprises that I have encountered since my son''s death. Welcome.
