Over dit e-boek

Love knows no boundaries—not even death. An emotional journey through a mother’s grief to healing and a doctor’s skepticism to belief—discover the answers that changed one woman’s life forever, and may just change yours, too.

Are you not sure of what awaits you after death? Dr. Elisa Medhus wasn’t either, having never believed in life after death. As an accomplished physician, she placed her faith in science. All of those beliefs changed after her son Erik took his own life and then reached out to her from the other side.

Intimate, heartbreaking, and illuminating, this is an incredible journey from grief and skepticism to healing and belief in the afterlife. Based on Medhus’s wildly popular blog, Channeling Erik, My Son and the Afterlife is a story that is as painful as it is uplifting—depicting a mother’s healing journey as she discovers that Erik is still with her.

Erik speaks from the other side with candor, wisdom, and depth as he describes his own experiences and provides new answers about the nature of souls, death, and the afterlife—answers that have the potential to change our lives forever.
