Just to tell you, Thank you, Helen. For being a source of strength
for me, when I had no strength of my own, for writing that beautiful
book, for bringing Erin into the world and sharing the joy of
her presence on this Earth, with us, and for just being you.
I will never forget you!
Name: Helen M. Fisher
Dear Pepper, I sat here in tears as I read your posting. Thank
you so much for your kind words. I know that Erin thanks you
also. I think it is important in this hectic world we live in
to reach out and share the experiences we have had in order to
help others in a similar situation. Peace and love, Helen.

I have had several experiences with loved ones who have crossed
over during the past several years. First, a close friend , then
my mother in law, then my second son's dad, from whom we had
been estranged for two years. During each of these times, I felt
the presence of the person's spirit very strongly, just before
they passed and immediately afterwards. They have come to me
in dreams, reassuring me, sometimes apologetic, and in way too
many daily coincidences to be anything other than synchronicity.
Two days ago I woke up with the urgent need to go to a garage
sale. When I asked myself what I might need there, all I could
think of was maybe a kitchen table. I left the house that morning
to pick up my second son from his grandma's house. A few houses
down from hers was a garage sale, but I didn't stop because I
didn't see anything that looked like a kitchen table. On the
way out the door and into the car my son told me he wanted to
stop at the garage sale. I agreed and immediately went to the
books, where I have been known in the past to find trinkets seemingly
left for me by these "ghosts." What I found were mostly
old romance novels, but one title immediately caught my eye.
It was "WE DON"T DIE" the book about George Anderson,
a man I had never heard of until two days ago. It was the answer
to all the questions I have been asking for the past couple of
years, but obsessively for the fast six months or so. I told
myself I would find a way to contact George and see what he thinks
these spirits are trying to tell me. I looked on the internet
and immediately found his site, and was amazed to find that he
will be speaking in my town in less than a month. I think it's
obvious that the book was left for me because I have been searching
for a way to find out what I am supposed to do. The part that
is worrying me is that all of a sudden I keep stumbling across
web sites for grieving parents and a few days ago my close friend
had a dream that he was supposed to take my second son home because
"they were going to kill him." My friend came to me
in a panic to tell me of the dream, because it was one of the
eeriest, most vivid dreams he has had in his life. Then I got
the book, and I am trying not to let my imagination run away
from its self. I have had a lot of strange and ghostly experiences
lately and I am glad to find I am not alone in this world or
the next...

Hi Stefani, thanks for sharing with all who frequent this page.
I smiled as I read about you found the book about George Anderson,
"We Don't Die." I found it quite by chance, also, as
it nearly jumped off a shelf in the library into my hands. I
had never heard of George prior to this. I have written about
this before, that it was no longer in the library upon my return
from New York after meeting with George. Not on the shelf, nor
in the computer. It was as if the library had never had a copy,
but they did, because I borrowed it. I think it is wonderful
that you have had contact with so many loved ones who have crossed
over. I am somewhat concerned about the dream your friend had
as sometimes dreams are warnings of things to come that can be
prevented by someone taking a different line of action than is
happening at the present time. I will e-mail you with a thought
or two about this. Peace and love, Helen.

Hi, Helen: I have not yet read your book, but I am ordering it
as soon as I'm finished wiht this post. Six years ago I lost
my first husband when he committed suicide. He killed himself
in our garage. I had a couple of "contacts" with him
that I just could not explain away. Most notably, our garage
had an automatic opener and a regular door that we ALWAYS kept
locked. I would wake up in the evening or even peek out in the
daytime, and the the door would be ajar or the bigger garage
door would be up just a fraction, like it was the day he died.
My two daughters were 3-1/2 and 2 when their daddy died. Thanks
be to God, they now have a wonderful stepdad who has been "Daddy"
to them longer than their own father was. However, I'm still
having problems with severe grief from my now-9-year-old. She
is fragile and intermittently depressed, though overall, she
is a delightful angel of a child. She reminds me so much of her
dad. I've been getting her help on this plane (as I did her daddy),
but I'm still very afraid for her. With the exception of a dream
or two and the garage door incidents the year he died, I have
not heard from "K" since. Is there any way for me to
know for sure that "K" is looking over his daughters?
I am still angry at him for leaving them like he did...yet I
do remember the good times and wish I had known him longer (we
were married for six years). I am still in contact with his family,
as they are my girls' relatives; but they are all deeply religious
(I am a Christian also, but a little looser in my beliefs...after
all, I lived through this!) and are not open to discussions about
this. Thanks for any advice you can give me. I look forward to
reading about your beautiful girl. Sincerely, Carol
Name: Helen M. Fisher
Hi Carol, I am so sorry for the tragedy you and your children
have experienced. It has to have been very difficult for your
daughters, especialy the older one as she has memories of her
"first" Daddy. Your girls are fortunate to have a loving
stepfather. It sounds like your daughter is receiving counseling,
and I mention the following just in case it hasn't occurred to
her thereapist. Sometimes young children "blame" themselves
for tragedies such as this Not to say she does, but it is something
to consider. My guess is that "K" is watching over
his little girls. His pain must have been great for him to choose
to leave the three of you. He may not want to interfere in your
current life. May I suggest that you talk to "K" about
your anger and then let it go. And, yes, I think he will hear
you. The only way I know to find out for certain if he has been
nearby is to contact a medium. If you do so, do not tell he/she
anything--let them tell you. There is a good chance "K"
would come through, but there are no promises, of course, because
it isn't up to the medium. It is the choice of those who have
crossed over. Peace and love, Helen.

My father crossed over to the other side on Oct 13, 1993. Then
my grandmother (my father's mother) crossed over a couple of
years later. Ever since I saw a psychic on t.v. giving messages
from loved ones on the other side, I wanted to do it too. In
December 13, 1999 I made contact with the help of a medium. It
was the most beautiful experience I ever had! Days before the
appointment with the medium, I had come home from work and turned
on the light like I always do and the light bulb burned out!
It gave me a little scare. Later I learned from the medium that
it was my grandfather(who died before I was born) who wanted
to let me know he was with me. Also I was on the computer in
my home when I saw something white pass by the hallway suddenly
from the corner of my eye. The medium said it was my father who
knew I was getting ready to communicate with him. Another incident
that the medium mentioned had happened a year before: My husband
and I were on vacation in Florida. We had rented a car. The highways
and freeways are so different than what we're used to here in
NYC. We were on the highway looking for the nearest exit when
my husband almost passes it. He made it on the exit but there
was a sharp curve and a ditch with water that we didn't see on
time. There was no fence, just a little mound of grass going
downhill towards the water! We were headed straight for the water.
I can't explain it, it all happened within seconds. Suddenly
my husband turned the steering wheel and we barely made it. We
were shocked. Afterwards I kept telling my husband that it was
our family that was watching over us. It had to be. The medium
mentions this incident and it turns out that indeed they were
with us. I enjoyed the reading so much, it was like I was speaking
to my family on the phone!(the reading was by phone). I've learned
so much these past years and I've grown alot spiritually and
I thank God for the opportunity!

Hi Ivette. Meeting with a good medium is indeed like speaking
on the phone to our loved ones who reside on the Other Side.
I am so pleased that your experience was a good one. My belief
is that most of those who have crossed over attempt to make contact
in some manner, but what they are attemting to do is often brushed
aside as nothing but an over active imagination. Contact is often
very subtle and easily missed. Your seeing something white pass
by is a good example. Thank you for sharing with all who frequent
this site. Peace and love, Helen.

Helen, You have been on a journey that I most fear. My daughter
has a brainstem tumor that was diagnosed in April of this year.
I believe she will be fine, she does too. The treatment has been
hard but she has been brave. She just turned fourteen years old.
This may seem strange to you but the night before I found this
book, I had prayed that I would find a way to understand what
my daughter is feeling. She has been very sad and frustrated.
I have been unsure about giving her a little push foward, letting
her go slow, and even getting profesional help. She has been
a very feet-foward girl. She loves a challenge and is always
creating something. These last couple months have taken the sparkle
out of her and she is trying so hard to get it back. I found
your book on a library shelf and it looked familiar, I put it
on my pile and checked it out without even reading the cover.
I stayed up last night and read the whole thing. The most valuable
part of the book for me was Erin's honest description of how
she was feeling. I needed to understand this. I woke Stevie up
and told her, "honey, I understand, and it is going to be
ok, it is just the decadron, it isn't you, you arn't always going
to feel this way" She grumbled, rolled over and said "mom,
you are so wierd" Thank you, for sharing your story, Erins
story. I would love to hear more about you and your process through
all of this. This is the hardest work we will ever do as mothers.
It is heartbreaking but it is also beautiful. I would also like
to tell you that we have been in those very same halls at UCSF.
We actually fought to have our treatment there. Our insurance
denied us and we ended up at John Muir and Childrens Hospital.
I have been so worried that I should have fought harder for "better"
treatment. Today I am at peace knowing that we are where we should
be. I hope this letter finds you well. I have many questions
about your daughters treatment that I would like to ask you.
If it is possible and not to difficult could you contact me at
my EM address. Thank you again for the book, Do you think Erin
had any part in me finding it? Gabriell
Name: Helen M. Fisher
My dear Gabriel, yes, I do believe that Erin quite possibly had
a part in guiding you to my/her book. Erin did not hold back
in writing about her illness, and even though she did not have
the chance to write her own book, "From Erin with Love"
has served her purpose--that of helping others, especially young
people and their friends and family, understand not only the
treatment involved in cancer but also the emotions of everyone
concerned. What you are experiencing is very difficult. Please
give Stevie a big hug for me. No reason for her to know who it
is from, your knowing is sufficient. I send you my love and understanding.
My heart goes out to you and Stevie. I will be e-mailing you
soon. Peace and love, Helen.

I am helping those who are grieving the loss of a loved one,
teaching them how to have a dream of their Special Person that
is so realistic and vivid, its as if you are actually with them!
It is truly a Divine Reunion Experience Lucid Dreaming My precious
son Daniel died at the tender age of 9 from a heart condition.
Amongst the pain and desperation to see my son again, GOD has
blessed me with an extraordinary gift that I must share with
you. It is called Lucid Dreaming. Lucid Dreaming is the ability
to become aware and to recognize you are dreaming, while you
are dreaming. The instant you realize that you are in a dream,
the experience will transform into a vivid and tangible event.
Also you will acquire the ability to control every aspect of
this dream. Just by wishing, you can make anything happen. Everything
is possible! With this ability you will have the opportunity
to dream of anyone whom you desire and it will be as if you are
actually with them. You can hug and kiss them or do whatever
your heart desires. The experience is so realistic and memorable.
Can this be the miracle you are searching for? There are many
books about Lucid Dreaming and lots of information on the WEB.
Unfortunately for most people it can be difficult, until now.
With the guidance from above, the intention to help others, brilliant
contributions from several phenomenal people, and for the need
to see my son again, I have developed a method that makes it
much easier to do. Using a unique series of relaxation and visualization
exercises on CDs, you can condition your mind to quickly learn
the techniques and naturally induce a Lucid Dream. This program
is specifically designed to help you to dream of your Special
Person. It is appropriately called the "DIVINE REUNION"
This system will also help you to fall asleep quickly and peacefully,
which in it self is a GODsend. As a grieving father, I know the
nights can be very hard, especially when you wake up in the middle
of the night. I remember lying in the dark, paralyzed from the
relentless and the intense pain, often crying all night while
horrific thoughts invaded my mind. These techniques enable you
to shift your attention and focus your thoughts on the most beautiful
and calming visions imaginable. You will be guided into a pleasurable
state of deep relaxation, thus allowing your body and mind to
harmonize. You will learn exercises that focus your awareness
while it quiets the mind. In time, an inner peace along with
a serene and calming effect will result from the inspiration
and anticipation of seeing your loved ones again. The love for
and from your Special Person lives within you forever. The sadness
of missing them is very painful. If only you could see them,
hold them or even talk to them. Well now you can! GOD has blessed
me with an extraordinary gift. Please allow me to share it with
you. For more information and a list of proven techniques visit
my WEB page at www.DivineReunion.com Having the opportunity to
see my son again has been truly a blessing. I believe GOD, by
his love and his grace has guided me to help and comfort others
through teaching this extraordinary ability. It is my intention
to bring this information of hope and comfort to those who are
grieving as a memorial to my son Danny. If you know someone who
is sad and broken hearted and would do anything to see their
loved ones again, please share this information to help and enlighten
them. With love and the power of positive and wishful thinking
Charles Marish 610 626-3043 SaintDanial@home.com www.DivineReunion.com
Those who are grieving will find peace from the love of GOD helping
others is the way of a spiritual being
Name: Helen M. Fisher
Dear Charles, first let me express my deepest sorrow on the Earth
loss of your son Danny. I commend you for finding a way to help
others through your own loss. Lucid dreaming is something I have
been interested in but haven't found the time to explore. I did
have one dream that stands out above all others, where I realized
that I was dreaming but I was also aware it was not my usual
type dream which I can never recall in the morning. It was different
because I knew it was really Erin, not the Erin of my memory,
in the dream. I will print off your suggestions from the your
web site on how to accomplish lucid dreaming. Thanks so much
for sharing this with all who frequent this page. Peace and love,
Helen.

My fiance found your website earlier today. Since Sept 11th,
I have been finding dimes everywhere, in the weirdest places
and for no reason. I get out of bed and there's a dime on the
bed. Today, I kicked a dime on some brick steps. The dime was
painted the same color as the steps, so it was invisible to me
until I kicked it. I lost my grandparents in a plane crash in
1977. Sept 11th has brought those emotions of loss back to me.
I think it's strange that in one of your posts you mentioned
you found dimes after Erin's death. Do you have more info on
this? Thank you, Tom
Name: Helen M. Fisher
Hi Tom. It is the "out of the ordinary" happenings
in our lives that catch our attention. You have obviously found
enough dimes to make it fit that category. Many people have related
similar stories to me. There have also been a number of stories
in either "Ann Landers" or "Dear Abby" similar
to yours. I believe that your grandparents are aware of your
emotional turmoil since the events of September 11 and have taken
this opportunity to let you know they are nearby. A close friend
of mine received a gift from her five year old granddaughter.
She had chosen a ceramic cross of her own as her gift and wrapped
it with many strips of celophane tape. My friend also found two
pennies taped on her gift.One was dated 1998, the year my friend's
son made his transition after a car accident. The date on the
other penny seemed insignificant until we spoke on the phone.
The moment I heard about the other penny I knew what the date
was, and I asked her to check it. It was 1989, the year my daughter
made her transition. She quizzed her granddaughter about the
pennies and was told that she hadn't taped on two, that there
was only one penny on the gift. This same child often "sees"
her uncle. When he first appeared to her she was just a toddler
and she referred to him as Spookyman. When she got a little older
she pointed to her uncle's picture, and said that's Spookyman.
So, yes, I do believe there is great significance in your finding
those dimes. Don't be surprised if they don't show up as often
now that you have figured out that your grandparents have been
trying to get your attention. Before you go to sleep at night,
try asking them to come to you in a dream. Visitation dreams
are said to be the easiest mode of making contact so who knows
what may happen. Thanks for sharing your experience. Peace and
love, Helen.

Dear Helen, I hope to read your book soon. I, too, have had a
butterfly experience I would like to share. My grandma who raised
me passed on Sept. 7, 2000. We were so close. She was 93 and
had lived a long life. I felt a part of me had died too. I began
fearing death, even though I was baptized Catholic at 46 years
old! I was 48 when my grandma passed. I prayed each day that
my grandma was with God and that someday I would see her again.
Ten months after my grandma passed I had this experience. It
happened the month of her birthday, July 2001. My husband and
I took a drive looking around at garage sales. It was a beautiful
day. I do all the driving. I couldn't help but notice alot of
different items at these garage sales had butterfly designs on
them. I also noticed a butterfly outside our car fluttering around
most of the day. I just sort of laughed it off. As we were driving
back home I noticed a butterfly outside on my side of the windshield
fluttering about. I was driving around 50 to 60 m.p.h. with both
windows down. Next thing I knew the Butterfly came into our car
and positioned itself right in front of me on the steering wheel.
I just couldn't believe my eyes. It was looking right through
me as if it was trying to communicate. I said to my husband,
"It's grandma!" It stayed there about 15 to 20 seconds,
then flew away. I never had such an experience! The butterfly
was looking right into my eyes! It was a beautiful huge orange
and black Monach. I was so glad my husband was my witness. As
I continued to drive back home I remembered a box of things my
grandma had kept. She had kept one birthday card from me through
all the years. The birthday card had a huge butterfly on front!
Ever since that experience, I feel so different. I don't fear
death as much and I know my grandma lives on. Oh, by the way,
I just lost a cousin this past month and we had to drive out
of town and spent a few nights at a motel to attend the funeral.
We normally go to this same motel, but decided to go to another.
When we went into our room up on the wall was a huge picture
of a orange and black Butterfly. It almost brought me to tears,
but what comfort! I wanted to tell you about all this because
you had a butterfly experience too. Do you think it was a sign
from my grandma?
Name: Helen M. Fisher
Thanks, Charleen, for sharing your beautiful story with us. Yes,
I believe most definitely that your grandmother is "using"
butterflies to let you know that she is not only nearby, but
fine. I wish I could explain how this can be possible, but I
can not. My own many experiences and the experiences of others
who have shared with me can not be ignored. It is the "out
of the ordinary" happenings and synchronized timing of events
that catch our attention. One definition in the dictionary of
sychronize is "To arrange or represent so as to indicate
parallel existence or occurrence." This is exactly what
the butterflies are doing. And what perfect examples they are
of the transition from one life form to another. Have a wonderful
life. Peace and love, Helen.

I just now found your site and am so sorry for your loss. Your
daughter is a beautiful person and so full of life. Her smile
seems to light up the room. My husband died just over six years
ago. He died because of a medical error at the age of 43. Since
that time our family has had many ordeals and tragedys and his
loss has been felt deeply. I have had many occurances here at
my home and elsewhere. I have had dreams, as well as my children
and others in the family where my husband has come to talk to
us and visit. My mother-in-law has actually seen his ghost in
her house. We have had lights go on and off at our command. My
husband's picture moved for me one day and a few days later the
same picture moved for my daughter. Each of us did not relate
the experience until three days after and were both shocked that
we had each had this happen to us. I asked for a sign one day
from him and just a short time later a golden bird (perhaps a
Finch or a wild parakeet) came and sat on my kitchen windowsill.
We do not have these birds here in our area and as the bird sat
there for over 10 minutes I ran my finger up and down the window
screen just a inch or two from it and the bird stayed and pecked
at the screen and my finger in a loving way. There have been
countless other times he has tried to contact us, too many to
list here. Some people are afraid of my house because they say
they feel a presence or are afraid that he haunts it. I know
he visits here often but always there is a sense of loving, not
anger. Everytime I have lost something I ask him for some help
in finding it and just a short time later a message or thought
will appear in my mind of where that object is. IT seems like
everytime I ask him for an answer, I do get one. I have visited
psychics and have gotton messages that only he would say. But
as always I am still unable to get the true message that he wants
us to know. All the things that have happened are still not enough,
there is something that I am missing. I do not know what to do.
I am at an impasse. I still struggle each day with his loss and
cannot honestly see myself with any other man for the rest of
my life. I am living a happy life and am trying to fulfill my
dreams doing what makes me happy. I have learned much about grieving
over the last six years. But there is still the feeling that
the two of us cannot let go of each other, even in death. I know
he lives on and I am prepared to wait for the time when I can
join him, I am in no hurry to get there either, but I still feel
that there is something he needs to tell me and I am just not
getting the right words from him. I don't know what he wants
to tell me or is it that he just needs to be near us because
he misses us. I ask myself is it our sadness that prevents him
from leaving and going on with his new life. I just don't know.
I keep asking God for five minutes with Mike so that we can say
what we couldn't say on the day that he died. He was taken from
this world before he and I even knew what was happening. I know
that he was angry at that and I share the anger with him because
of someone's stupid medical mistake he lost his life here with
the people he loves. Our statement of love for one another during
our time together was "I love you always and forever."
It is comforting to know that he and I will have always and forever
but I still need to know more... Well there you have it. It is
a long story and I have left out much. It is just too hard to
write about it without the tears that stop me. This month our
first grandchild will be born. It is a time of great celebrating
because life does go on. I wish Mike could be here to hold me
in person to cherish the moment. I can only hope that as I hold
my hand into the air that he grabs ahold and I can feel his love
once more as the baby is born. God Bless Us All. Kathie

Hi Kathie. You are right-on about Erin's smile lighting up a
room. It's nice to know that her smile in her pictures sends
out the same energy. Please accept my condolences on the earth-death
of your husband. I am so pleased that he is making his presence
known to so many. I have never cared for the term "ghost"as
that word has always seemed to have negative connotations. Mike
is making his spirit known; the part of him that always was and
always will be. Let me ask a question. DO you have the feeling
there is something you are supposed to be doing, but you haven't
figured out as yet what it is? If so, perhaps that is what he
is trying to communicate. I think of that possibility because
for many years after Erin made her transition I had the feeling
thee was something I was supposed to do. After I began writing
"From Erin with Love," that feeling subsided. I don't
think you are holding Mike back. I dont' believe that is possible.
I think all on the Other Side can navigate between both dimensions,
ours and theirs, with little difficulty, although getting the
attention of those in our reality may be a major problem. In
our busy lives we don't always pay attention to the subtleties
around us. Congratulations on the new life that will be joining
your family soon. I have no doubt that Mike will be close by
when your grandchild arrives. How dould he not? I hope you feel
his hand in yours when this miracle of life takes place. Peace
and love, Helen.
