In this follow-up to Elisa Medhus’s novel My Son and the Afterlife, Elisa’s son Erik tells his astonishing story directly from the afterlife, describing in detail his death, transition, and spiritual renewal.

My Life After Death begins on the tragic day when Erik Medhus took his own life. What follows is a moment-by-moment account of the spiritual life he discovers on the other side—told in his own words as channeled by medium Jamie Butler and then transcribed by his mother, Dr. Elisa Medhus.

Overflowing with his signature directness and honesty, Erik describes more than just a visit to the afterlife. He personally walks us through the experience of dying, the trauma and regret of committing suicide, transitioning into spirit form—revealing a detailed look at the life awaiting us on the other side.

In this intimate, unique, and provocative memoir, crucial questions about the afterlife will finally be answered, including: What does it feel like to die? What is it like to become a spirit? Why and how do spirits communicate with the living? Is there a heaven? Ultimately, Erik’s story sheds light on his mental illness while also providing the answers that will help readers find solace and remove the fears surrounding death, showing that love has no boundaries and life truly does go on.
