When Erik describes Heaven, I react differently depending on the state of affairs in my life. If the shit’s hitting the fan, I’m like, “Sign me up. Let’s get a first class ticket for Mama E!” But when I’m loving life as I have recently, I’m more hesitant. The thought of having no contrast sounds, well,…
Erik on Grieving, Part Two
Wow, I sure did get a lot of positive feedback about the Chaga mushroom tea. A lot of you want to know the products I bought. Here they are: Salem Botanical Chaga Tea (cup a day) Mushroom Science Chaga capsules (two a day) Maine Chaga Face and Body Cream by My Berry Organics (morning and night)…
Erik Gave me Relief
My sister committed suicide in Nov 2013, a week after my birthday. My mother started researching life after death, & came across Erik’s page. She shared it with me & together we’ve been following it ever since. I watch the YouTube videos as much as I can, and I’ve watched just about all of them….
Communicating with Our Loved Ones
Some of you have reported that the form for the free giveaway rejects those living outside the U.S. I’m going to try to have the publisher to change that. For those of you who missed it, if you pre-order Erik’s new book, My Life After Death (click HERE to do so,) you can click HERE to receive a…
Suicide and Loss, Part Two
I have a question for you guys. What kind of reality TV show would you watch with Jamie, Erik and I in it? There are so many possibilities, so I want your input! Ponder that after you read Part Two of Three of the Suicide and Loss series. Me: All right. How do you know if it…
Suicide and Loss, Part One
I heard the webinar class with Jamie had a big turnout and was great. I’m glad you guys enjoyed it. It’s amazing how some of the things she teaches can have such a powerful effect on our lives. Today, I’m busy as cr*#. I’m being interviewed on a radio show today at 5:00 PM and I…
Channeling Alexander McQueen
Argh! I’m so frustrated! I’m still trying to work on the audiovisual quality of the YouTube videos, and it seemed like it was all fixed the last session, but today after the first 15 minutes or so the frame rate went down. A popup on Call Recorder, which records FaceTime and Skype video calls, said…
Why People Take Their Lives
Here I am way up above the tree line in Norway where Internet access is spotty and very expensive. For that reason (plus the fact that I’m on vacation) I’m only going to post three days a week. Got to tend to the moose and trolls, after all. It’s so peaceful and pristine here. So…
Losing a Loved One
Now that I’m almost finished with using sessions for gathering material for the next book, I’m going to start channeling famous figures again. This time, Erik will be asking the questions because I don’t want him to be excluded from the interview. After all, it is “Channeling Erik.” I’ve randomly picked a few for you to…
Giving up on the Human Experience
Many of us have gotten to that place where we think, “The human experience sucks, and I don’t want to keep learning from it I don’t want to try to get the most out of it.” but Erik shares words with us that will give us strength. Me: Erik, there are so many people who are…
Call for Aborted Suicide Attempts
Hey all, I was contacted by a producer of a reality show who is considering using an “Erik story” for an episode. Of course this is a long shot, but I would love it if you can share a time when Erik may have literally prevented you from committing suicide and whether you’d be willing…
Best of Erik: A Break From Being Human
This repost is about respite. 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. How timely. Erik: You know, Mom,…
Best of Erik: To Be or Not to Be
Since Robin William’s death, a lot of people have been wondering about why he made the decision he did. Personally, I think a lot of comedians, including Robin, Richard Jeni and others, have their dark side, and feeling lost and sad compels them to balance their lives with humor. Let’s revisit the suicide issue again….
Being a Caregiver
I had such a wonderful time with the family in Destin, Florida this week. The weather cooperated only one day, but that day made up for everything. Navarre Beach was delightful: powdered sugar sand, crystal clear water and not more than 6 people stretched out in the sun there. We also went to the quaint…
Are You a Bush or a Tree?
Hey Erik. Erik refers me to the blog to catch up on the past few entries. This morning, and over the past few weeks I’ve been having “background” conversations with Erik about suicide, and I was really on the fence with writing about it publically. Erik points at the blog and is like, “Look, it’s…
Suicide and Judgment
Since the first post is so short and the second one seems to be a good segue, I’m giving you another two-fer. Me: How do know that you’re one of the rare people whose suicide is their predetermined exit point or one of those who are not? Erik: There are a lot of people on…
Suicides in the Afterlife
I’m sitting here typing on my Mac here in a Best Western Hotel in the piss ant town of Cresson, TX. Pretty much an intersection, a gas station, and a liquor store (Thank God. I need my Cabernet!) Why, you ask? I’ve asked that same question for the past couple of days.But I have to…
Why Stay?
Thank you all for your prayers. We surely needed them and still do. I’m so sorry I haven’t responded to comments to the posts, emails and Facebook messages. I still have a hard time seeing and there’s not much signal in the ICU. In this post, Erik gives his case against suicide. Hope you enjoy!…
Erik Describes His Own Death, Part Five
Me: At what point did you ask for help? When did you finally say, “I need help”? Erik: When I wanted to get back to my family and I didn’t know how. Me: Aw. Did you miss us? Erik: Yeah! Me: So, who appeared. Jamie: This was a female guide. Not his aunt. This was…
Erik Describes His Own Death, Part Three
You may find typos or spelling errors in this entry, but again, I didn’t have the stomach to proofread it. Sorry. Me: Who was the first one to meet you? Erik: Well, hell, I can’t even remember. Me: Was Denise (my sister) there? Aunt Denise. I think she was also there to greet you, right?…
Erik Describes His Own Death, Part Two
Tomorrow, I have surgery on one of my eyes early in the morning. I think I’ll be able to post something, but if I don’t, you’ll know why. I’m having the other eye operated on the following Tuesday. Wish me luck! Maybe I’ll finally not drive at night with sweaty palms! Meanwhile, here, Erik continues…

Remembering Why I’m Here
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
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…
