Elisa Menhus' son was only 20 years old when he committed suicide in 2009. The mom of five describes it as the worst moment of her life. But only a couple of days after Erik's tragic death, Elisa says he began making appearances to let his loved ones know that he was doing much better than before. Elisa, a long-time physician who describes herself as an atheist, had no option but to start questioning the notion of life after death.

In the four years since Erik's death, Elisa has pretty much become a believer and with this week's publication of her book My Son and the Afterlife, she hopes to shed some light on a touchy subject that many would rather ignore. I must say that because of her background as a physician, which makes her a lot more credible than all the quacks out there, I'm tempted to check it out.
Elisa has also kept a blog of her conversations with her son ever since he passed away. In it, she explains that this communication is possible thanks to a medium. While most people would just dismiss her as a crazy lady who hasn't been able to cope with the tragic death of her son, Elisa says that, actually, it has been thanks to her talks with her son that she has been able to heal and move forward. If that's the case, then I say more power to her.
As someone who has lost a person very close to my heart, I must say I'm kind of envious of Elisa and her family's ability to continue to be in touch with Erik. Except for the occasional dreams, I haven't really experienced anything similar to what she describes and, in all honesty, I'd give anything to have just one more conversation with my adored father. So much has happened in the decade since he died. What about you?
