Since the Huffington Post article came out, the response has been amazing. So many people have questions for Erik that I’ve temporarily had to suspend the “Ask Erik” page until I get caught up. I am trying to see if Kim can squeeze in an extra session or two, but for now I’m on her waiting list for cancellations. Please know that Erik will get to everyone eventually. I also want to say how grateful we are that you’re giving us both this opportunity: For me, helping others helps me heal. Always has. For Erik, helping others is furthering his soul’s progress. You’re giving him a chance to repay a karmic debt, of sorts, since suicide is a big no-no. Now for the next question:

Debbie’s Question

Hello Elisa & Erik,

First of all please let me say you both are very amazing in what you are doing for people. The help that you offer has got to be a Godsend for all those who have loved ones that have passed to the other side. Your unselfishness is certainly to be commended. Since I found your blog there are not many days that go by that I don’t read whatever is posted. Sometimes I go back and re-read questions and things you have written. I have been interested in the spirit world since I was a little girl. I only wish I had the ability to channel or some kind of psychic ability to be able to connect.

Anyway, I have finally gotten enough courage to ask Erik a question. I had a very close friend who passed away suddenly with a heart attack back in 2001. His name is David H. and he lived in Little Rock, AR. I did not get to tell him goodbye, and there’s rarely a day that I do not think of him or remember him in some way. Could you please ask Erik to let me know if he’s doing ok? I think if I can just get some validation that he is ok I will be more at peace.

Thank you so much and please continue the work you are doing. You are both helping so many people.

Thank you and God bless.,

Debbie W.

(After receiving her email, I asked for her age and other important information that helps Erik locate the deceased more quickly. She responded with the following:)

Hi Elisa,

Sorry, I didn’t give you enough info. I wasn’t sure what all you would need. David was 54 and he was in the hospital in Little Rock when he passed. My age now is 53, David was 9 years older than me. I have just never gotten over the fact that he left so soon and I could not tell him goodbye. He came to me in a dream not too long after he passed. It was one of the most vivid dreams I have ever had, but only that one time. I have not “heard” from him since.
I just want to know that he is ok and that he’s happy. I would love to know that he has visited me. It’s weird, but ever since his passing anytime I see a butterfly outside I think of him. Don’t know what that’s got to do with anything but I’ve just had that feeling since he left. There really was never a connection with him and butterflies when he was here on earth…just a feeling I have. Strange?

Thank you again for what you do. I will tell Erik thanks myself. I’m sure he just loves hearing from strangers 🙂

Channeling Transcript

Me: Okay, the next question comes from Debbie W. She’s 53 years old. She had a very close friend who was much older than her by the name of David H. He passed away from a heart attack at the age of 54 in 2001. So they’re like 9 years apart. I really don’t know the nature of they’re relationship…

Erik: That doesn’t really matter.

Me: Okay. Let’s see. He died in a hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. Debbie has really never been able to get over not getting a chance to say goodbye. She just wants to know if David is doing okay. She wants some sort of validation that he is okay so that she can feel some peace. Oh, but also she says that she thinks about him every time she sees a butterfly. When he was alive, butterflies didn’t’ really hold any significance. I mean, there was no correlation between him and butterflies. Is that some sort of message or sign from him?

Erik: Why don’t we ask him ourselves? I actually brought him to our little party. He likes speaking for himself. He’s chuckling and saying, “So every time you see a butterfly, you think of me? Are you saying I’m flighty or something?” He keeps laughing. He’s got a great sense of humor. He finds this all very amusing.

Kim: I’m picking up on David too. He’s got a darling, cozy, warm personality and a very cute sense of humor. He’s very giving and generous.

Erik: Yeah and he’s the kind of guy who never knew a stranger. He liked everybody and wanted to be of service to people. Now, let’s talk about when he died. He’s saying he was totally shocked when he passed away. He wasn’t expecting it at all! And Debbie knows David wasn’t expecting to die, because they had talked about stuff he was going to do. He had plans! He had no fucking idea he was going to die when he did. When his soul popped out of the body he…wait. Wow! Wow! Um, Mom?

Me: Yes, Sweetie?

Erik: He’s telling me there was some, like he was supposed to get some type of medical assistance that he didn’t get, and because of that, he died. Damn! So it wasn’t his destiny to die when he did.

Me: Oh, no! Is he happy now?

Erik: Let me ask. Oh, yeah, he’s totally gotten accustomed to being in Heaven now, but he spent a long, long time really pissed over the fact that there were so many things he would have done and wanted to do that were stolen from him. He was very angry and shocked, stunned. And there was no way he could go back into his body, because it was past the point of no return. Crap, Mom, you should have been his doctor. I bet he’d still be alive!

Me: I find that funny coming from you. Remember when you were little and dropped a rock on your foot?

Erik: Maybe.

Me: You were in the garage. I checked it all out, told you it was fine and kissed it. But you started crying even louder and told me to take you to a “real doctor.”

Erik: I know. I was like three, (laughing)

Me: I thought that was so funny, Erik. So go on.

Erik: He insists that he could have been saved. But now he travels a lot, he likes to go skiing; he comes and spends time with Debbie. He comes to her in dreams sometimes, and she will know that. Any time she wants to talk to him all she has to do is say, “Hey Dave, David, Hey!”

Me: Okay.

Erik: He says he answers to any name. Funny dude. He’s talking about Debbie playing board games and when she does he loves to help her. Some people might consider that cheating! And he says he really wants to continue a relationship with her. She doesn’t really talk to him all that much, and he’d love to hear from her.

Me: Yeah! Okay, so…

Erik: Oh, and he says he’ll be there when she crosses in many, many years to come. He keeps showing himself skiing, snow skiing. That’s something he totally loves. Wait, he’s telling me something. (pause) Oh, you know what he’s gonna do? He’s gonna come to Debbie in a dream and, Mom, you know how we sometimes sit together and talk during a dream?

Me: Oh, yeah!

Erik: Well he’s going to get Debbie and take her on a ski trip. He likes to ski in Austria now. So he’s going to take her in her dream on a ski trip, and she’s gonna be fantastic. Man, he’s totally pumped about it.

Debbie’s Response

OMG Elisa…I KNEW it was not his time. I felt it from the time it happened. there was too much left here for him to do. I am so glad that he’s doing ok and is happy. I am not surprised at his response to the butterfly thing. I am sure he thought it was very corny. Oh and how he did love to ski! He went to Utah every year on a skiing trip, he had friends who lived there. I look forward to the transcript. I want to read every word of it over and over. And you can bet I will talk to him more now that I know he is listening. I am going to talk his ears off!!!

Thank you again and your beautiful Erik. What a gift he is.

Debbie W.

Your welcome Debbie. Bon Voyage, you two. Don’t break a leg!
