Kathleen’s Questions
I am the “stepmother” of XXXX. She wrote to you about her dad coming to her and hugging her one month after he died. She told you in her email that she had lost the three most important men in her life to death. This man that died, her father, was named Gregory. He was my soul mate for the past one and a half years. I waited half a century for this man to come into my life. One unhappy night I had even prayed for a man with his character to come into my life and God answered my prayers then.
I had a life before meeting Gregory, three wonderful children and a marriage to a man that ended after thirty years in a very painful divorce. I could not have known then the joy that awaited me in my future. Gregory was my reward for all the suffering and alienation that I went through in my three year-long divorce. I had lived a large life, and then it became very small. It was not something that I couldn’t adjust to, and I found myself very much happier in many ways. Then I met this force of nature that was embodied in this splendid man, Gregory. I was back at college going for a fine arts painting degree, and I met only by “chance” this artist, a sculptor. His work in wood poly chromed figures was so emotional and made with whimsy and many, many layers of lacquer, that they were almost Asian in sensibility. It is ironic that perhaps his most profound piece of sculpture was entitled “Grief” made after the death of his son some twenty years ago.
I put the word chance in the previous paragraph in quotes because we eventually found out that we had been in the same physical spaces four times in our lives and our paths, while they had crossed, had never met. This included by the way, being at the same art gallery show on the same night. The Universe had a plan for us to have met. I just wish that it had been sooner. But I am sincerely grateful to have had every day that I did have with him.
He and I were so connected to each other in this life, we could feel each other’s pain, joy, and thoughts. The phrase that “he completed me” seems trite, but that is how it was for both of us; we completed each other.
I explained to XXXX that I felt as if a part of my own soul had been amputated and that I was suffering a sort of “phantom limb pain” that comes after an amputation. It was so painful to feel this loss, and then it was multiplied with the sensation that he is not around me. I can’t feel him. My belief is that he around us, all of his loved ones, but I, the one that was so connected to him, cannot feel him around me, the sensation of that. What I don’t know is why I am not feeling his soul presence around me. Is there some reason? And why he had to leave this earth now? We finally had coalesced all of the details of our lives and had planned to be married. I know that he died in his sleep and that he was so happy and joyful for the future we planned together. I had spoken to him for two hours the night he died. He repeated everything that I knew he felt about me, and it’s somewhat comforting to have had that wonderful conversation to remember.
I am grateful that he had a “peaceful” death, but I am having doubts about if he suffered or had warning. Did he wake? He was terrified of death for the years that I knew him, but had even come to some sort of acceptance in later years. He was vital and able up to the day he died, and we will never know what killed him. There was no autopsy. It just haunts me so.
If there is any way that your beloved son Erik can find his way to connect with him and let us know the answers to the questions below? He died in Brattleboro Vermont, age 76. My name is Kathleen, age 61, at present in Jupiter Florida.
Here are my questions:
*I feel that I should move to Brattleboro, VT, Does Gregory think this is the right/good thing for me to do or should I stay in Florida? Why/ why not?
*I want him to validate if the knife incident in the kitchen was him giving me a message, and what was the intended message?
*What was it that killed him in his sleep—-stroke/ heart attack/ other? Was he aware of it at the time or in pain /or fear or have a premonition about his death?
*Why do I not feel him around me, it just hurts me so not to feel him protecting me and I seem to need that so much.
* This is an extra one in case he can’t answer any of the other questions above for some reason. Did we have other lives together like I dreamed we did, and will we find each other earlier next time?
Thank you Kim, thank you Elisa, thank you Erik!!!!
XOXO Kathleen
Channeling Transcript
Me: Ready for another one, Darling Boy?
Erik: ‘course!
Me: This is from Kathleen. She’s 61 and lives in Jupiter, Florida. Um, let’s see. She lost the love of her life, Gregory, in Brattleboro, Vermont at the age of 76. The grief has been intense for her. She feels like a part of her is missing, absolutely—
Erik: It is! It is, Mom! Kathleen feels like a big part of her life is over. Yeah, it sucks, man! It totally sucks. I got Gregory right here, and he wants to say something. Let me ask him.
Me: Oh, okay, that’s wonderful!
(long pause)
Erik: He says he’s been trying and trying and trying and trying to make contact with her. He had no idea he was gonna die when he did. No idea, so he didn’t get any warning.
Me: Yeah, that was one of her questions, actually!
Erik (chuckling): Mom, I know that. How do you think I round up all this information and these spirits ahead of time? I cheat and look at the questions first!
Me: Well, I’ll still give you an A+ Sweetie.
Erik: Anyway, Gregory says he was stunned and shocked and astonished when he looked down and his soul had popped out of his body. He knew there was no way to go back into his physical body. There was no way to save him. Hang on.
(pause, presumable so Erik could listen to Gregory)
Erik: A massive heart attack, he’s talking about heart failure. No one could have done anything for him. He didn’t have any pain, no suffering at all. And he says all he could think about was Kathleen; that’s all he thought about: Kathleen, Kathleen, Kathleen. They’re romantic soul mates. They’ve been together in many, many past lifetimes, and one of the reasons she feels so devastated is because this is the last lifetime for both, and he’s already back here in Heaven. He’s just waiting for her now. He says she still has some life to live before she can go back to him. And it’s miserably painful for her to be there on the earthly plane without him.
Me (sadly): Okay.
Erik: It’s a little bit easier for him here in Heaven without her, because he understands that they’ll be together forever, and time is not really the same here. It’s not so painfully slow like it is there sometimes.
Me: Yeah, I can understand that.
Erik: But he’s with her all the time, all the time.
Me: Oh, yeah.
Erik: And Kathleen still has work to do there on the earthly plane, or she wouldn’t still be there. The work she has to do involves…it involves, uh…volunteering. She still has a life’s work to get into, and she still has another 15-20 years on the earthly plane at least. Mom, that’s not gonna make her happy to hear this. She gonna shit bricks.
Me: Erik!
Erik: Well she is, Mom! I know you feel like that sometimes. I know this. The idea of this is not going to make her happy. I’m just sayin’…
(pause)
Erik: She needs to know number one, this is her last lifetime, number two, Gregory is right there with her; she can talk to him any time she wants, number three, he’s gonna wait for her; he’s not going anywhere until she passes in many years to come. They’re going to be living together here in Heaven and working together as guardian angels. They used to work together as guardian angels when they were both here in Heaven!
Me: Oh, they did before?
Erik: Uh huh. They do in between all of their earthly lifetimes, and when Kathleen comes back to Heaven and is with him again, they’re going to be working together like that.
Me: Aw, that’s good!
Erik: Now she’s supposed to be conducting guardian angel work on the earthly plane, her in the physical and him in spirit.
Me: Like a spirit/earth tag team!
Erik (ignoring my little joke): And the reason she chose that is because she felt that some of the human beings she has been guiding as a guardian angel do not listen to her as much when she’s in spirit. So she thought, “Well, if Gregory is in spirit and I’m in human form, and we’re working together as guardian angels, me here, him in Heaven, the human beings that I’m supposed to be impacting are going to have a much tougher time ignoring me if I’m in human form.” That’s what she’s supposed to be doing.
Me: So she thought up this plan in—
Erik: Yeah, when she was here last, here in Heaven.
Me: Oh!
Erik (with great emphasis): Kathleen has GOT to work on her channeling abilities!
Kim: Let her know that if she wants, tell her to download my free one hour angel tutorial on the opening page on my website. And tell her if she emails me her address, I’ll send her a copy of my book, How to Talk with Your Angels, and that’s all she needs!
Me: Aw, that’s so sweet, Kim! Oh, and another thing is, she feels like she needs to move to Brattleboro. Does Gregory think this is the right thing to do?
Erik: God no, God no! She should stay in Florida. She’d have a difficult time struggling through the winter. She’s familiar with the winter; that’s not the point. It’s just that she’s going to be much happier in Florida. If she moves to Vermont, she’ll end up moving right back. Gregory says he can guarantee that.
Me: Okay. She also wants to know something about a knife incident, she—
Erik: That was Gregory; he says it was him. He wanted to let her know that he’s there in a way that would get her attention without scaring the crap out of her.
Kim: You know, spiritual beings walk a fine line. They want to get our attention, but they don’t want to scare us too badly. To get our attention, they often have to do something a little out of the ordinary—
Me: Yeah, without freaking us out.
Kim: Yes, exactly. And we’re easily frightened, so it’s a fine line that they walk.
Kathleen’s Response
Dear Elisa,
I have not had the chance to write you back after your generous channeling of my lost love Gregory on Aug. 25th.
The past month has been spent on the road and a three thousand mile trip. I went to Vermont to be with Natasha and the children after buying some sculpture back from a collector so that we would each have a piece to own. We were like the shoemakers children with no shoes on that count. I also visited with all my children in various cities.
I am blown away by the fact that a question I had not even asked was answered. It was foremost in my mind but I did not have the courage to ask it. It was: had he gone first to be there to help me over and was I about to die soon? His first response was to answer that and tell me that I had more time here to do some work I had to finish.
I so much appreciate the validation of certain incidences that were indeed Gregory coming back to me in the only way that he can now. I have still not felt him as I wish to, but I know that he is around me. My grief is just too great for now for me to feel him. I am trying to be more light in my spirit but still just miss his presence so much. He was my constant star, my compass, my protector.
I just could not write before this. You know how it is. I am functioning and slowly dealing with it all, but it is just very hard right now.
Thank you belatedly for all your help and Erik’s help along with Kim. I feel your compassion towards those who are suffering with the grief and loss. I am home now and read the month worth of writings that I had missed on the road. You are doing such a service for all of us, You have to know that this is such a mission that you were meant to do. Almost a quest of sorts.
It meant the world to me. God bless.
Love and light,
Kathleen
PS I almost forgot- he always used to repeat my name over and over like that- and when he called me the night he died, he said my name just like that three times and said he loved my name, how much it fit me and that it was so classy and that he had never known a Kathleen and was glad to have met and known and loved me
Look Erik, I have no problem with you scaring me. Hide behind the couch, then jump up and say “Boo” the minute I enter the room. Whatever. I just long to see you.
It’s nice to know we have guardian angels like Kathleen steering us lovingly in the right direction. For that, I send her my love, my gratitude, and my prayers.
If you haven’t friended me on Facebook yet, please feel free to do that. Friend Erik Rune Medhus, too. I know he’d get a kick out of that.
