Dear Reader, Although Erik sometimes paints a rosy picture of the afterlife, time and time again he stresses that suicide is not the answer to one’s problems. If you struggle, please understand that the information in my blog and my books is no substitute for professional help. Please click here for a list of resources…
The Way We Grieve, Part One
I had such a great vacation with my sister and brother-in-law. There’s so much nature in the state of Arkansas, and I long for that after living in Houston where concrete outnumbers trees. Plus, Laura and I are really close and can talk about anything. I had been feeling a little blah about Erik and…
Erik on Grief
Many of you found the blog because the grief you were feeling. Here, Erik gives more insight for you. Me: So, Erik, do you have any suggestions for other parents on how to contact or channel their deceased children and how to deal with the grief of what will never be, the grief of a…

For Those Who Grieve
Oh, how well I know the pain of grief. Many of you have come to the blog because you’ve lost someone you love. It helps to know that there’s no true separation and that they’re the same, only without a body. Let’s see what Erik has to add. Me: Do you have any advice to…
More About Loss. Yes, Again
This is such a timely topic for me because I’ve been feeling really down, missing Erik. His birthday and his death day are just around the corner so that doesn’t help. On the way home from an errand I just burst out crying. I think that’s a good thing because I’ve never really sobbed, I…

Blog member, Daniel Lucas, created the masterpiece below. How, I don’t know, but it gives me such a sense that we’re all family, connected. If you’d like a picture of yourself in the image, please send a good quality, bright photo to him at daniel-lucas95@hotmail.com. Thanks, Daniel! This is the continuation of Erik’s description of his…
Best of Erik: Erik’s Death, Part One
This part of the channeling transcript was not at all easy for me. The graphic memories, the heartache, the sense of loss, it all flooded back to me like a tsunami of dread and despair. For that reason, I’ve transcribed just a portion of Erik’s description of his death. The heart can only endure so…
He Doesn’t Write; He Doesn’t Call!
Book season is around the corner, and I’ve been contemplating my second one. In it, I would love to include appropriate personal stories from you at the beginning of each section. Your input is important, because you’re my second family. Here’s a poll that will help steer me in the right direction. Note that personal…
Erik’s Death Day
Today is a dreary day here in Houston. The gray darkness matches my heart as I trudge through the 4 year anniversary of Erik’s death. Sometimes I wonder why it had to be my son. Sometimes I wish I could just stop all of this and find a little peace. I ask myself time and…
Grief and Healing
A huge part of my own enthusiasm with telepathic communication is teaching others how to do what I do. Erik, would you like to help me with this? (I skimmed the last few CE entries and read this one: https://channelingerik.com/how-to-communicate-with-the-dead-and-teenagers/ and he brings me to this paragraph: “I wanna remind people when you’re happy, when…
Erik Describes His Own Death, Part Four
My vision is slowly improving. Please forgive me if I haven’t attended to your comments and emails as I usually do. It’s still very difficult to read them. Next week, I’m having the surgery on my other eye, so both will be going through that blurry period at the same time, and my current glasses,…
The Little Boy From the Sandy Hook Tragedy
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…
Can You Really Be a Pompous Ass in Heaven, Too?
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…
A World in Change
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,…
Erik Breaks Down
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…
Channeling Carl Sagan, Part Three
I don’t know how I forgot to publish this. It was supposed to be the entry for Thanksgiving. Sigh. Mark your calendars, Peeps. This Tuesday the 29th at 7:00 P.M. CST, Erik will once again be interviewed by Sheila Gale on her internationally renown radio show, The Sheila Show. Here’s the link: http://InstantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=24454047 Be sure…
Induced After Death Communication
Many of you have asked about IADC, induced after death communication. Developed by Dr. Al Botkin, it’s based on EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, reproducing REM sleep with horizontal eye movements to treat post traumatic stress disorder. Purely by accident, Botkin discovered that during EMDR sessions, some of his patients…
Channeling Steve Jobs, Part One
I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful weekend and is prepared for a week of Channeling Erik insight, camaraderie and inspiration. I’m very excited to announce that Erik was finally able to find Steve Jobs Friday, despite his recent passing. You’ll notice that Job’s ability to focus his communication clearly and control his choice…
Overlooked April Session
Looking through my recordings, I realized that I neglected to finish transcribe the tail end of the last session in April. Wow, it’s like finding a 20 dollar bill in your coat pocket! YAY! Channeling Transcript Jamie: Erik is the only spirit I’ve channeled that razzes me all the time! Me: Oh, that’s so him….
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
At long last, I’ve been urged (strongly) to seek treatment for my PTSD. Okay, we’re talking major arm twisting here, because I’m a typical mom who feels that everyone else’s needs must be addressed and nurtured before I tend to my own wounds. So, with five kids, a husband and friends (including cyber friends), I…
Missing a Loved One?
Many of you have found your way to this oasis of hope by following a trail of tears. Many of you grieve. Many of you have suffered under the heavy burden of loss. You find camaraderie here. Understanding. Unity. Friendship. Compassion. But it doesn’t replace the son, daughter, lover, friend or sibling that is no…
