Here is the next Ask Erik submission from a bright young woman with any questions about her direction in life. Randi’s Question Hi Elisa, I stumbled across your Web site fortuitously. I was searching for Felix Lee Lerma (who I have seen before) and your posts came up. I am captivated by you, Erik, your…

The next question for Erik comes from a dear friend and coworker of mine. She’s a very gentle spirit with a kind heart, so it was difficult to learn that she experienced a tragedy similar to mine. In August of 2009, her brother took his life the same way Erik did, by gunshot wound to…

My heart goes out to this next woman, because she and I share similar tragedies. Both our boys took their own lives very recently at the tender age of 20. Let’s see if Erik can help console and heal Essie as he has helped me. Essie’s Question Hi Elisa, Thank you for being willing to…

This first question is from a dear friend of mine who’s father died very recently. Within the last few years, her daughter divulged a terrible secret that she’s kept to herself since she was very young: her grandfather, Guillermo, had been molesting her for years. She has been progressing well in therapy but, because her…

In this part of the channeling session with Kim O’Neill, Erik discusses self-esteem issues and delivers messages for his sisters and brother. Let’s begin. Me: What, other than past life issues, really affected your self-esteem, Erik? I mean, why? What happened to you? Erik, shrugging: Just typical shit. Typical teenage shit. Kim: Erik, could you…

Suicide: To Be or Not to Be

I’ve had a number of readers submit questions to the Ask Erik column who are depressed. Many are in crisis, at a crossroads and in despair. Some are admittedly contemplating suicide. As a physician, my impulse is to help by giving them various resources and a compassionate ear. As a mother, my impulse is to…

Crisis of Faith

The last couple of months have been difficult for me. I haven’t really felt Erik’s presence for what seems like an eternity. No sounds, no signs, no smells, no nothing. This paucity of evidence along with my ever-present tendency to analyze and doubt has begun to erode my faith. Yesterday, I had an epiphany about…

Elisa MedhusMay 11, 2010in After Death Communication, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Guardian Angel, Kim O'Neill, Life, Messages from the dead, Psychic medium, Spirit visitation, Spiritual presence

I really enjoy watching Erik wield his newfound wisdom to help others. I have my next channeling session in a couple of days and already have several Ask Erik submissions, along with my own personal questions. Here’s the last one from a woman living across the pond. Irene’s question: Hello Erik: I would like to…

And now for the next question presented to Erik through psychic medium, Kim O’Neill. Please note that I’ve obscured the last name for privacy issues.

Mother’s Day looms in the near future like a dark specter taunting me. I feel so conflicted. On the one hand, I should be rejoicing that day. After all, I do have four wonderful children still here with me on the earthly plane. On the other hand, this is the first Mother’s Day without Erik…

My eldest daughter and Erik’s sister, Kristina, celebrated her 26th birthday on the first of May. The evening before, the entire family joined her at a new Indonesian restaurant to rejoice over the wonderful years we’ve spent with her here on earth. Firsts are difficult, though, and Kristina’s first birthday without her little brother is…

Cassie’s question: You’ve never met me, but I knew Erik in high school and even though we didn’t speak much, gosh, he was such a neat guy! I go to his facebook page nearly every day and I’ve read every blog of yours. It’s truly inspiring considering I lost my father very suddenly when I…

And now (drum roll, please) for the final segment in my channeling session with psychic medium extraordinaire, Felix Lee Lerma. As always, comments are welcome.

Before we begin with the next segment of my session with psychic medium, Felix Lerma, I’d like to make an announcement.

I’ve been having a very hard time lately. It seems like I must work so hard to distract myself. Idle moments take me to a very dark and unhappy place. The images of what he looked like when I found his body, his blank and lifeless stare, the smell of gunpowder and blood in the…

Yesterday my sister, Laura, was driving past the cemetery where my son is buried. She said her usual greetings of love and longing when suddenly, this song began to play on the radio. It reminded her of Erik. Surely it was a message from him. Perhaps he wants us all to know he’s home. Many…

We’ve been blessed to have such wonderful neighbors on our street while Erik and his brother and sisters were growing up. One of the families we’ve been the closest to live right across the street. Although Erik was older than all of them, he was very fond of the now 16 year old twins, Brandon…

Soul Relay Race

Recently, a news article was published in a British newspaper about a Croatian teenager who wakes from a coma speaking fluent German. She had never spoken that language before. Furthermore, she could no longer converse in her native tongue. Is this added proof that walk-ins are possible? If so, doesn’t this further substantiate the survival…

Life’s Work in Heaven

After these many months of having inside information about the afterlife, I’ve discovered how oddly similar Heaven is to the earthly plane. Aside from the fact that you have no body and have greater abilities to manifest what you want immediately, so may aspects seem the same. Discarnate souls can have homes, material possessions, and…

Since Erik’s death, one of my deepest desires has been to see him, to hold him, to hug him, to kiss him, to hear the sound of his voice and his wonderfully infectious laugh. As you can see from various entries, we’ve been blessed by numerous occasions when he’s been tangible through our senses of…

Elisa MedhusApril 7, 2010in After Death Communication, Bereaved, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death of a Child, Energy, Ghosts and Spirits, Grief, Grieving, Spirit visitation, Spirits moving objects, Spiritual presence, Suicide

Let me start by saying I have this thing about being organized. Very organized. I have lists for everything, even lists of my lists. This personality trait probably evolved because of my ADHD as a means of finding order in my own personal chaos. I don’t know if I could have survived medical school otherwise….

Erik and the Fortune Cookie

Elisa MedhusApril 6, 2010in After Death Communication, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death of a Child, Ghosts and Spirits, Grief, Grieving, Spirit visitation, Spirits moving objects, Spiritual presence, Struggles, Suicide

When I was a kid, fortune cookies were kick ass. (I was fairly easy to please.) Seriously, they pointed you in the right direction, gave clarity to a muddled path, and were just, well, fun! Now, it’s all about moral advice for morons: the early bird gets the worm, people in glass houses, yada, yada,…
