Birthing Out

Elisa MedhusMay 30, 2013in Channeling, Crossing over, Death

Before we start with today’s illuminating post, I’d like to clarify something. I have seen on various websites comments about spirits using profanity. In fact, one in particular said that if a spirit curses, it’s evidence that he or she remains in the lower dimensions and hasn’t yet “crossed over.” There is cursing and then…

Remembering Why I’m Here

Elisa MedhusApril 6, 2013in Death, Death of a Child, Grief

A few weeks ago, a blog member wanted to say that, although she enjoyed my posts immensely, she had not forgotten the tremendous tragedy that had brought me to this point. I so appreciated that comment, because long gone are those earlier entries about grief and loss as we have moved into the uncharted territory…

The Best of Erik: Death

Elisa MedhusMarch 23, 2013in Bereaved, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Life review, Suicide, Violent deaths

It’s been a long time since we’ve visited those posts where Erik talked about his own death and death in general. In this three part post, you’ll notice how different Erik is now compared to how he was then. Part One: Grasping for contact of any sort with a lost loved one is natural. Years…

Connecting with Loved Ones

Elisa MedhusMarch 21, 2013in Bereaved, Contact with the dead, Grief

Me: Here’s one from a blog member. “I would like to ask Erik what we can do to help our loved ones come through to us. I’ve read that when we’re depressed, it blocks the connection, but it’s such a brick wall! How do you drop the grief to get the message? I know my…

How Food Tastes in the Afterlife

Elisa MedhusFebruary 26, 2013in Bereaved, Burglary, Grief, Grieving, Heaven, Senses in the Afterlife, Victoria Secret

Yesterday was an exciting day at the Medhus household. My sister, Laura, was all alone in my house watching television when she heard someone jiggling a key to open the front door. She figured it was just one of my kids coming in to do their wash. Then she heard footsteps, but not the usual,…

The Best of Erik: Shades of Light and Dark Energies

Elisa MedhusFebruary 16, 2013in Bereaved, Death of a Child, Evil Spirits, Grief, Grieving

Note: In this session, Erik needed the help of my guardian angel, Veronica. Me: Alright, I’d like to get a little clarification on the concept of evil and demonic spirits. I’ve had some tell me there is no evil, that all is Love and all is good. So, are we dealing with semantics here? Are…

Time for Dummies

Elisa MedhusJanuary 31, 2013in Grief, Time

Me: If there’s no linear time in the afterlife, why would a spirit need to wait until a person who’s still living passes over in order to heal? Erik, you broached this question before. Theoretically, their spirits are also in the afterlife due to the simultaneous existence of past, present and future. The blog member…

The Little Boy From the Sandy Hook Tragedy

Elisa MedhusDecember 17, 2012in Grief, Sandy Hook Shooting

Most of are still reeling in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy. I can only speak for myself, but for me it triggers all the horrors of that day when Erik pulled the trigger and put a bullet through his brain. I feel paralyzed, lost, pummeled by another tsunami of grief mourning a lost…

A Break From Being Human

Elisa MedhusDecember 5, 2012in Grief, Human Experience, Struggles, Suffering, Suicide

As the holidays approach, some of us long for a break. A break from the grief of losing someone we love. A break from being mired in daily struggle. A break from being human. This is the first time Erik spoke to me without the need of a question prompt. He spoke with solemn passion….

Channeling Gautama Buddha, Grand Finale

Elisa MedhusOctober 9, 2012in Buddha, Buddhism, Channeling, Jamie Butler, Psychic medium

A couple of housekeeping issues: Jamie still has some openings for the Channeling Erik event in San Diego November 9th, 10th and 11th. There’s a chance that a documentary film maker will be there filming an interview with the group, so that adds to the excitement. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. Give…

Please Help

Elisa MedhusSeptember 30, 2012in Death of a Child, Grief, Suicide, Violent deaths

Here I sit in a Kroger parking lot typing this on my phone hoping my CE peeps can help me. Erik put a bullet through his brain at 1:20 P.M. almost three years ago on October 6th. Around that time, I can’t be in my house, because I imagine him sitting in that chair with…

Happy Birthday, Erik!

Elisa MedhusSeptember 21, 2012in Channeling, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Suicide

Today, I’d like to devote this entry to my beautiful son. I’m so proud of you, Erik. In three years, you’ve accomplished so much to make the world a better place. You’ve brought wisdom and love to us all. I’m so grateful to call you my son. I wish you were here for me to…

Before we begin this typical Erik topic, I’d like to make a few announcements: 1) I’m very excited about the response to the San Diego event. If anyone has any questions, please ask them in the comment thread or email me at emedhus@gmail.com. I know one reader asked about bringing children along. I’m not sure…

Paul was so very touched by all of your heartfelt comments from yesterday’s post. He did want to say that the link I provided for his artwork was not functioning, so I changed it in that entry. It’s http://growingintothemystery.net/2012/01/17/first-some-art-2/ As for the San Diego event, I want to thank everyone for their patience! Jamie’s assistant, Weedie,…

A World in Change

Elisa MedhusMay 21, 2012in Bereaved, Channeling, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Suicide, The Shift

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I sure enjoyed a day of rest Sunday. I pretty much did nothing. Not even contemplate my navel. But I have discovered one thing in my respite: Being idle is not always easy for those of us who grieve. That empty space seems to suck up the darkness,…

Grief Mind Chatter

Elisa MedhusApril 30, 2012in Death, Death of a Child, Suicide

It’s been over two years since Erik’s death, and although my grief is not one of constant despair, every day is still a struggle. I’m wondering if those of you who still mourn the loss of a loved one experience a particular phenomenon I call “grief mind chatter.” Let me explain. Every morning when I…

Erik’s Easter Visit

Elisa MedhusApril 11, 2012in Channeling, Grief, Love, Out of Body Experience, Pranks from spirits, Spirit visitation, Spiritual presence

Easter morning at his usually visitation hour (4:00 AM,) Erik surprised me with a delightful visit. These usually come when I’ve been particularly sad and missing him deeply. Profound family drama and hardships have punctuated our life lately, triggering more grief than usual, so his visit couldn’t have come at a better time. As a…

Erik’s First Suicide Attempt

Elisa MedhusMarch 6, 2012in Bipolar disease, Channeling, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Indigo, Mental illness, Near Death Experiences, Suicide

Many of you expressed an interest in knowing more about Erik, including his suicide attempt several months prior to his eventual death. As hard as it is for me to re-visit the experience, perhaps the details will give clarity to the pain from which he suffered. In the wee hours of the morning, Erik came…

Turning Back the Hands of TIme and Gross Feet

Elisa MedhusFebruary 8, 2012in Bereaved, Channeling, Grief, Grieving, Murder, Suicide, Time

Me: Here’s an interesting question from a blog member: “I am curious if Erik has met or has knowledge of all the various Erik incarnations happening at the same time. Can Erik still influence the Erik that passed on in this latest incarnation?” I love that question. Can you, Erik? Can you meet and influence…

Duke’s Mixture

Elisa MedhusFebruary 7, 2012in Bereaved, Channeling, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving

Here are several questions posed by readers back in September. Sorry about the lack of editing but I’ve been hit by a major grief tsunami. They come and go and are part of life’s landscape now. You know how that can be. No pity required. It just is what it is–and unwelcome houseguest that never…

Why Visits Wane

Elisa MedhusJanuary 30, 2012in Bereaved, Channeling, Death, Grief

Great news! The endlessly creative Endre Balogh is willing to offer his services to the Channeling Erik family. He will “angelize” you loved one for whatever amount you can afford. If you can’t afford anything, then you pay nothing. He sent me a metallic photograph of Erik and it’s stunning. Truly magnificent. Please check out…

Update on That Pesky Grief Thing

Elisa MedhusJanuary 29, 2012in Bereaved, EMDR, Grief

I know I’ve been a bit remiss in sharing my state of affairs in the grief department, and in most cases, things like this would bore people to tears. But in this case, it’s important for fellow bereaved to share experiences to know that there are parallels. No one is going crazy here. There is…

Erik Breaks Down

Elisa MedhusDecember 28, 2011in Channeling, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving

As you’ll see by this post, losing a body doesn’t mean you lose your emotions, your ability to worry and to grieve. On the flip side, they can still feel love, something Erik does best, as his grave marker (and I) can affirm. Channeling Transcript Me: Gosh, I don’t think we have time to interview…
