Future Work with Erik

In previous channeling sessions, Erik has told me that we are meant to work together on several projects: this blog, some books, a TV series and a movie. I can’t fathom this, as my energy and motivation is as low as my spirits. How low? The Marianas trench looks like the Rocky Mountain ridge by…

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…

Is Your Life Really That Bad?

Elisa MedhusMay 19, 2010in Channeling, Struggles, Suicide

I ran across this YouTube video. It gave me pause. Many people struggle in life. Some choose to stay and fight. Some, like my Erik, choose to give up. Oh how I wish he had seen this before he made that fateful decision. It makes me sad and angry. If you are considering ending your…

Finding Strength in the Dark Forest of Grief

Elisa MedhusMay 14, 2010in Afterlife, Bereaved, Channeling, Crossing over, Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Heaven, Life, Messages from the dead, Struggles, Suicide

Many readers have commented on how strong I am despite having just lost a son. After all, can there be any greater travesty than the death of one’s child? For me, no nightmare is as grim. The grief is still raw and fresh like an open wound. Yet since my blog explores the “upside” to…

Ask Erik: Tom’s Question

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. Tom’s “Ask Erik” submission: Hi Elisa, Stanley is a friend of mine and back in February, he emailed me a link to your blog here. At the time I thought…

Here is the next of several submissions to the “Ask Erik” page. As you can see, we’ve kept him very busy, but I’m sure he adores the attention. Bethany’s question: In 1996 my uncle committed suicide and my family seemed to fall apart after this. My dad has been in deep depression since, and his…

Erik has done so much to help us peons here on Earth. Oftentimes, our struggles compel us to flirt with suicide, so when Erik offers his wisdom and insight, it lights our way with hope and a newfound desire to continue our human experience, however trying and burdensome. The next several posts will include submissions…

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. Erik wants you to quit beating yourself up over what happened. Yeah. He said you’re being hard on yourself. Well I think back on my last conversation with him before…

Before we begin with the next segment of my session with psychic medium, Felix Lerma, I’d like to make an announcement. Yesterday, I had a very short session with Kim O’Neill,, and I used that opportunity to ask some of the questions readers submitted through the “Ask Erik” page. I will post those transcripts soon….

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…

Erik’s Visit to Brianna

Elisa MedhusApril 21, 2010in After Death Communication, Bereaved, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death of a Child, Dreams, Ghosts and Spirits, Grief, Grieving, Spirit visitation, Spiritual presence, Struggles

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…

A friend tipped me off to Felix Lee Lerma, a young psychic medium living in San Francisco who apparently is very well-regarded, conducting readings for a number of celebrities and other famous people. I had to wait four agonizingly long months for my appointment to finally arrive. I’ll break my hour long session into several…

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…

Understanding Erik

Elisa MedhusApril 15, 2010in Death, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Life, Love, Struggles, Suicide

Erik was often misunderstood by so many. He sometimes came across as intense and disheveled. He was tormented by tics and an addiction for cigarettes. But behind all that was a diamond in the rough. Few were kinder. Few were more loving. Few were as understanding. Few were as willing to sacrifice for others. Sometimes…

Love One, Death Zero

Elisa MedhusApril 14, 2010in After Death Communication, Bereaved, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death, Grief, Grieving, Love, Struggles, Suicide

My next series of questions focus on Erik’s big sister, Kristina, who is currently finishing up her second year in medical school. She’s had little or no time to stop and catch her breath since his death, much less go through the full grieving process. His suicide came as such a violent shock to all…

I often wondered why Erik was such an enigma. He was brought up in a loving and nurturing environment with endless opportunities to thrive. He was surrounded by so many friends who loved him. He was exposed to wonderful adventures, hobbies and destinations. So, why did he feel so lonely all the time? Why did…

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,…

“Where would you like to begin this morning, Elisa?” Kim begins. ‘Well first of all I’d like to see if he’s around and if he is, I want to see how he’s doing and tell him I love him,’ I say. “Hi Mom!” He says that in a “Where else would I be” way, Kim…

Erik on the Human Experience, God and Suicide

Elisa MedhusMarch 31, 2010in After Death Communication, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, God, Life, Struggles, Suicide

Thinking no question was too profound, too intimate or too probing for my son, I posed some real humdingers in a recent channeling session. Brace yourself folks: ‘I think I already asked you this Erik, but why do we choose to have the human experience here on earth? You said something about wanting to experience…

As many of you know, the blog has an “Ask Erik” section through which anyone can submit a question to my deceased son. I pose these questions to him each time I have a channeling session with the psychic medium. The next several posts will reveal the enormous insight Erik has gained as a discarnate…
