		<description>Aw, that&#039;s so sweet of you. I think the string of tragedies and hardships I&#039;ve had from birth on pretty much slapped the ego out of me! But I still have a long way to go to reach the level that many of the blog members have attained. Love you!!</description>

		<description>In my humble opinion, I think two grieving mothers are simply grieving and finding the best way and best path for each to do so.  Neither is right or wrong, it just is.  If Erik didn&#039;t want to help you, or others, he would be straighforward about it, as I am coming to know him well through your blog Elisa; and likewise -you.  You are on the right track.  Blessings, and more wind to your sails!  You are both truely gifts to our precious world.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  I have already passed your link to others.  
p.s.
While reading one of your posts where Erik tells you he will be there through your granddaughter because babies and dogs see better than adults, my dog came whipping in the house b-lining over to me like I&#039;d never seen him run before and just sat in front of me -panting and smiling.  I felt Erik in that moment.  Bless you both!
p.p.s.
Had you never said you were a doctor, I would never have guessed... and I say this with the utmost of respect, in that, ego is NOT, I repeat NOT a factor here, at all!  I am humbled by your humility and honoured by your authenticity.  The gift of your ptrue resence is refreshing.

		<description>Elisa,
I love you, too! It does my soul good to know that my words may have helped.  My Mom&#039;s name is Margaret but she goes by Peggy. I will be sure and share your comment with her.

Love,

		<description>Oh Rebecca, you&#039;re sweet words couldn&#039;t come at a better time. I&#039;m so glad you&#039;re part of our family. I love you. What&#039;s your mom&#039;s first name? Tell her I love her too.</description>

		<description>I am very new to this site (3 days) so I may be &quot;behind the eight ball&quot; commenting on such an old topic.  However, I felt the need to tell you my impression of the e-mail that has been a topic of discussion.  My Mother is 84 yrs young.  She, too, lost her son to suicide in June of 2009.  Tonight I sat down with her and played one of Erik&#039;s radio sessions.  From that point on, I saw a woman who finally found other humans that could relate to her.  Erik and Elisa have provided more comfort and peace of mind because they spoke out loud the beliefs she always had and continues to have about life and the tragic death of her beloved son. There are no &quot;earthly&quot; words that describe how thankful I am to have found this site.  I do believe that it was no accident.  I don&#039;t believe anything is.  I found this site for a reason.  I can now admit, I was in a very bad place mentally, which is what made me start searching the internet.  I did not come by this by accident.  I thank you for what you have given my Mom and I.  As Eric says &quot;It&#039;s a ripple effect&quot;.  Thanks for letting us be a part  of the &quot;ripple&quot; and I will continue to &quot;pay it forward&quot;.

Love,
Rebecca XXOO</description>

		<description>Jamie, you&#039;re right. My aim is to make sure that the message is bigger than anything else: Erik, me, the blog, etc. People die every day by the scores. People channel the deceased all the time, and many, maybe even most of them have amazing messages to share with humanity. THis is just my way of doing what&#039;s been done for eons, but in a way that heals me and others and gives Erik a venue for his voice. Thanks for being part of the family, girl! I&#039;m in constant awe of the wisdom and love others bring to our blog. </description>

		<description>Elisa,
In my opinion there is a mustard seed of truth in Linda&#039;s email, but most of it gives me a sense of her unconsciously feeling like your path with Erik&#039;s communications is &quot;showy&quot;, and in her mind you&#039;re not the only person who has this happening to them, she does to (as she points out several times, along with noting the books SHE&#039;S already published). It feels a little &quot;nyahh-nyahh, I&#039;ve already done this, I&#039;m better than you...&quot; To put it scientifically. 
The mustard seed I&#039;m referring to is it could be a slippery slope for you to keep things completely relevant and sincere as the whole &quot;Channeling Erik&quot; thing takes on a life of its own and the media see a way to champion it for 15 minutes in order to make some $ off of it. But I think you&#039;re smart enough, and wise enough to weather the storm. I&#039;m delighted to have come across this blog, and as sorry as I am for you losing your son, I&#039;m twice as happy that you&#039;ve connected with him again in such a rich, open way.

Much love,
Jamie</description>

		<description>Elisa, I know I am writing this a little late  and may have figured out what I have to tell you but here goes...everyone has their own intrepation of what a parent should be and do.  We all learn as we go and if we are doing the very best we can with our children than that should be all that matters.  Erik came knowing the type of parents he would receive and was well prepared to be part of his family and the lessons he was going to learn was going to be an exciting advendture to learn and gain knowledge about his physical body and his family and he would gain love in the process. I feel that Erik probably felt at a soul level he would do better on the otherside helping people like himself and being able to reach further with his bright clear light and love through being such a clear strong channel to make more of impact on humanity. I do not know but it might be handy for you do look at the kyballion and learn about the 7 sacred principles if you have not yet. It explains how the universe works and helps you come to terms with how you could perceive things.  I just read it and loved it.  You are loved and Erik.... I am sure loves you beyond your wildest dreams. He Knows now that good and bad are the same just at each end of the pole and what ever way we have to learn is the way it should be until are soul gains enough knowledge to follow the higher self in our lives.  This is a good way to find compassion for those who judge and criticize you and by understanding there are those who blame and those who work through their issues like yourself....by channeling Erik tells me you are a highly evolved soul needing to find the truth and this truth comes from your heart and your are on the right track and you should be proud of yourself for reaching out to Erik.  He left this plane to help you reach a higher level of understanding and love. I hope this helps.  
Love and light

		<description>Elisa, I did not have the patience to finish the article. I read most of it, and I want you to know that you are a great mother, you show it and you are proud of it. I do not agree with the criticism and I want you to know that there are a lot of people out there who support you, and feel close to you and what you are going through even though we were never introduced. Do not stop writing and good job  in raising your son.</description>
