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!
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…
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…
Told You So, You Little Motherf&%$ker!
OMG, the Buddha interview was AWESOME!! I can’t wait to share it, but Jamie feels more comfortable making all of these religious figure interview YouTube videos public when we have four faiths covered. Unfortunately, given the recent violence in the Middle East, Muhammed will not be one such religious figure, so we were thinking about…
Tapeworms and Fire Ants
(Bugle horn sounding). I need you guys. A publisher is considering the manuscript for the Channeling Erik book. If this happens, it gives it more of a chance of raising the eyebrows of a film maker. A well known documentary film maker has already stumbled across the blog and contacted me saying he’s interested in…
Painful Deaths, Comas, and Other Cheery Subjects
Before we start, I have some good news to brighten your day. An anonymous Channeling Erik member would like to pay for the sessions for three blog members who would like to be a part of the grieving parents channeling conference call but are unable to afford the $45 fee. If you struggle financially and…
Channeling Elisabeth KÜBLER-Ross, Part Two
Haha, you astute people picked up my editing faux pas (pubic instead of public.) Well, before you think I’m that ADHD (which I am) let me tell you a story. I went back into my files to look at the transcribed interview in Word and it clearly reads “public.” So, sometime during the cut and…
Channeling Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
The San Diego dates have been confirmed! It’ll be November 9-11th and all meals will be included. The hotel will be on the beach! Activities will be sunrise to sunset but of course these won’t be mandatory and the extra early and late course are at no extra charge. this will be such an amazing…
A Breath of Fresh Air, Children, and Lemmings (WTF?)
The strangest thing has been happening to my sister and me since my mom died. Whenever I sit in the chair next to the one she used to sit in, I feel a distinctly cold spot, so cold that my calf on the right side is almost icy to the touch. Yesterday, Laura and I…
The Scole Experiments
I want to share this YouTube video on the Scole experiments. I posted this before but the video was deleted from YouTube so I hope everyone has a chance to watch it soon. You must see it all, because the evidence they present for the afterlife gets stronger and stronger toward the end. I can’t…
Channeling George Carlin, Part Two
Fasten your seat belts. Parts three and four only get worse. Me: So you passed over. Was it peaceful? George: It was a fucking piece of shit. Me: Oh, no! Why? George: You know, I think I bought into the real estate—I bought into the idea that this tunnel of light was going to save…
Channeling George Carlin, Part One
I’d like to ask if anyone here is having trouble with DISQUS. We were having a problem with the upgrade that came along with the WordPress upgrade, so we switched back to the previous version, but I’m still not getting any comments. Usually I gets tons! Has anyone posted comments that have not come through?…
Saints and Other “Special” People
Sorry for not editing a lick of this, but I’m exhausted to the bone. Me: Do people know deep inside that they are going to pass. Are there any sign in some small way that they only realize after they pass? Erik: Yes. Me: In the case of one particular blog member’s dad, things seem…
Children and Suffering
My mother was moved to rehabilitation for her hip yesterday. It looks like a great place. Wish us luck! Please forgive the lack of editing here. If there are glaring boo-boos, I would appreciate the heads up, though! Erik: You know what, Mom? I kind of find it funny now that when people—just the spiritual…
Lucas and the Baby
As promised, here’s the second post for today. I think this is such a sweet, sweet story. I sure hope it brings a smile to your face that carries you through the long holiday weekend. Me: There’s this little boy, Lucas, who is the child of one of the blog members, and he got really…
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,…
Sexual and Childhood Abuse
Before we delve into this topic, I’d like to ask you all to submit any questions for Erik you may have that are general, not personal. I know there are a lot of newbies who may want to know more about topics we’ve already covered, and Erik may know a great deal more about them…
The Dalai Lama on Science and Spirituality
First of all, I want to thank everyone for their warm wishes and flattering comments for my daughter, Kristina and her new husband, Houston Braly. They’re on a short honeymoon in Paris and the French Riviera where the weather is now gorgeous probably having the time of their lives. Second, I sent all of your…
Grief Mind Chatter
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…
Ted Bundy’s Victims, Part Two
Before we embark on the eye-opening journey through the words of Bundy’s collective, I’d like to ask you a small favor. As a surprise for Jamie, I’d like those of you who can to write a little something about what she means to you. After all, she has given our Erik a voice, and for…
Ted Bundy’s Victims, Part One
I hope you find this interview as powerful as I did, because it addresses a subject that you and me struggle with daily: forgiveness. A woman, one of Bundy’s victims, graciously agrees to speak for the rest of his victims, bestowing many invaluable pearls of wisdom. Me: I thought it’d be interesting to interview one…
Channeling Ted Bundy, Part Two
I’m sorry Jamie and Erik’s channeling conference call filled up so quickly, guys. I think it was only a matter of hours. I’ll see what I can do to get Erik and her to host another one sooner than usual. Here’s the final part of Ted Bundy’s interview: Me: Yeah. I know this may be a…
