This next question comes from a husband and his wife who selflessly devoted the opportunity to help a family in need who lost their young daughter to suicide. I found it fascinating that Melanie, the deceased, behaved like a typical preteen girl even after she had crossed over. My heart warmed to know that Erik has taken her under his wing.

Joe’s Question

Hi Elisa,

I have been following and reading Channeling Erik every day. its amazing to me the similarities of what’s been revealed to that of Sylvia Browne and what she has discussed in her books.

Anyway, I am seeking your help. I have a colleague of mine in Texas who is a great guy with a great family. I don’t know them that well from a personal standpoint.

They have 4 children and their oldest daughter Melanie, age 12, committed suicide. The entire family was removed from the home, and I know they are suffering tremendously.

I want to help by pointing them to the website/blog, yet I don’t know what their personal beliefs are. My request is that I will tell them about the website, but really hope that you can ask Erik to pay them a visit to help the whole family. What ever you can help with they could really use it. Obviously they don’t know I am doing this.

Thanks,

Joe, 49 from Birmingham, AL

Channeling Transcript

Me: Okay, let’s see. Gosh, so many papers here. Hang on. (pause) Oh, okay, this is one from Joe. His questions is actually on behalf of another family whose oldest daughter committed suicide at the age of 12. They have 5 other children. Her name is Melanie. The family lives in Texas.

Jamie: Wow. And his question? Does he want to know why?

Me: Well, anything that will help, yeah. The thing is, Joe doesn’t really know what spiritual beliefs this family has, and I guess he just wants to see what information he gets that might help the family They’re just suffering, suffering deeply.

Jamie: She’s here. She’s at the foot of the bed. She was the first one to show up.

Me: Oh! You mean before when you were meditating prior to our session?

Jamie (laughing): Erik showed up right away. He’s been here. He’s been here since very early this morning!

Me: Oh! Has he hung out with Melanie at all?

Jamie: He says he has. He’s been trying to help her out. Her passing was recent, very recent?

Me: Yes.

Jamie: That what Erik says. That’s why he’s helping her out, apparently because she’s grieving a lot that her parents are taking her decision so hard.

Me: Any messages for her family? Uh, why did she do it, why did she do it?

Erik: Yep, she said she took her own life, and it’s because she wasn’t being understood.

Me: Okay. (sounds like a lot of preteens and teenagers)

Jamie: She says she has a different belief that has to do with being in love, being in love with boys, with a boy. She wanted to be who she was, but her parents had really set rules. Since age nine, she says, there’s some marker at age eight to nine that really made her unhappy. She just couldn’t be herself from then on.

Me: A marker? You mean an event or a mental illness that developed or what?

Jamie: Uh huh. An event. Something happened.

Me: Was it sexual abuse?

(pause)

Jamie (tenderly): Talk to me, honey.

(pause)

Jamie: She says no. It’s weird; she tilts her head back and rolls her eyes up.

Jamie and I laugh at this typical preteen gesture.

Jamie: But she says no. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were something close to that, but maybe not the actual sexual abuse, but it was enough for her to withdraw.

Me: Okay, so some kind of sexual thing, but not sexual intercourse, maybe?

Jamie: That would fit better.

Me: Does she want to deliver a message to anybody in the family?

Erik (chuckling): You ask that question, and she says really clearly, “Tell them I’m not in Hell.”

Me: Okay, good. Maybe that’s the family’s religious belief. Anything else, Sweetie?

Melanie: It’s just so stupid. I wasn’t like them. I wasn’t like my parents.

Me: Okay. Was it her destiny?

Erik: Yes.

Me: What was the lesson to be learned or taught?

Erik: She told me she’s the sacrifice so the other kids would have a better life.

Me: Oh, so that the parents would ease up on everybody?

Erik: Yeah, to let people be who and what they are.

Melanie: Exactly! Why can’t they do that?

Erik: They’re going to learn.

Me: Yes I hope so, but the hard way. Well, thanks, Erik. You’re just a bundle of information, my boy!

Joe’s Response

Wow,

Ok. I’m processing, but hugely thankful.

My wife and I are reading this for the first time, and she broke out in goosebumps… Erik?

Here is what I’m thinking to get your opinion.

I want to write the family a very sincere condolence letter. In that letter, I’m going to point them to the channeling Erik website/blog. I’m going to ask them to read through, and when they are comfortable, can they send you an email asking for the information?

I don’t know what they believe, and I think they have to go through a process to get to where they would accept a message. Reading your blog will help them. When they are ready, I’m hoping they will ask soon.

What do you think?  Other options?

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Joe

I can only imagine the courage it will take for Joe and his wife to pass along this message to a family in the grips of deep despair. I pray for Joe and his wife, for Melanie, and for the grieving family she has left behind.
