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.

Erik’s Request

Erik has made a small request. He feels like the last several posts have been a little (okay, a lot) on the heavy side, and he says it’s time for a bit of lighthearted fun. Blog member, Dan sent me a hilarious YouTube video this week, and apparently Erik loved it so much, he wants...

Losing a Loved One

To lose a loved one is pure agony. When you lose a child, your grief is compounded exponentially. When you lose that child to suicide, your grief is multiplied to unbearable levels. When that suicide is violent, you become a POW in a private war, tortured mercilessly day after day. In my desire to show...

2012 Revisited

Even though Erik has shared a great deal about 2012, the first part of this session on February 15th took a detour in that direction. Try to keep up! Channeling Transcript Me: Good morning, Jamie! How are you doing? Jamie: Good, I hit a bit of traffic so I just walked in! I get in...

Erik’s Advice on Destructive Patterns

There has been much heated debate on the last couple of posts so let me summarize my take on things: 1) Remember the written word doesn’t convey tone, and, as humans, we tend to fill in empty spaces with worst case scenarios. So many assume Erik’s comments were rude and sarcastic, but be assured they...

Erik’s Advice to Those Who Are Stuck

A lot of blog members were quite hurt by Erik’s pointing out the selfish side to grief. Here’s an example from John Joseph: Hey this one’s for Erik: Spirit or not, you’re being a dick telling people they’re “selfish” when they miss someone they love more than you will ever imagine, no matter how many...

Erik’s Advice to Those in Pain

Channeling Transcript Me: Do you have any advice to those who have lost loved ones and are just so stricken by grief? Erik: Remember, grief is really selfish. Wow, this made my heart sink, because that means I am One Selfish Bitch. Erik: They need to look at what part of themselves they feel is...

Bipolar Disease

Thanks to Nancy, here are some fascinating videos about the spiritual side of bipolar disease. Sometimes I wonder how much of mental illness is society’s interpretation of “normal” as well as society’s rejection and disdain. Bipolar Mania or Spiritual Enlightenment? Why Bipolar People Commit Suicide As a surprise Mother’s Day present for myself, I just...

Skeptics and Parenting

The other day, someone asked me if I knew that Erik was an exceptionally evolved spirit from the beginning. I’ve given that a great deal of thought since. Yes, he was an unusually sweet, affection and humble child. He showed great concern when one of us became ill. Erik didn’t possess even the tiniest hint...

Bigfoot and Other Mythical Creatures

And now for some lighthearted, good clean fun. Erik discusses the existence of mythical creatures. Some he’s sure about, others he’s going to gather more information about. Don’t get lost as we venture into the enchanted forest! (God, that was lame. I hear Erik saying so. I’m an incorrigible nerd. Sigh.) Channeling Transcript Me: Okay,...

More on Jesus

And now, (drum roll, please) the Jesus post we’ve been waiting for: Channeling Transcript Me: Okay, let’s ask this one again. Is there any “right” religion, Erik? I know the angel answered that when I asked it during a session with Jeannie, but let’s see if you have anything to add. Jamie: God, he like...

More on God

Great News! You can reserve your spot for the “Channeling Erik Weekend of Enlightenment” in Atlanta, scheduled for July 8th through July 10th. There are only 30 places available so don’t delay! The website is: www.withloveandlight.com. Channeling Transcript Jamie: Hi! Me: Hi, Jamie! How’re you doing? Jamie (giggling): Fine. Erik showed up about thirty minutes...

All Things Holy

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I know it’s not Sunday, but the tail-end of the February 3rd channeling session with Jeannie was pretty much all about religion. Some are new questions, while some are questions for which I wanted confirmation. Channeling Transcript Me: Are angels different than the spirits of the deceased, and are...

More Second Looks

As you know, I often revisit subjects with Erik to see if he has learned additional information and to see if his messages vary from channel to channel. Enjoy, and have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Channeling Transcript Me: On the subject of reincarnation, do animals come back as animals, plants come back as plants and...

To the Departed

Please join me in sending love and light and all the healing prayers you can muster for those suffering from the devastation left behind the wake of the storms that have been plaguing the South. It all seems so unprecedented. Makes me wonder if this is all a part of the coming Shift. My heart...

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.
