one morning my son came to me and said" mummy, last time I died in an elevator!"
Me: " You did? When?"
Him: Last time. I died with people.

Hes three and I know he didn't see that on TV.

Luckily I am a believer in reincarnation, and past lives. He never said anything more so I just went about life. Then yesterday ans My husband, son and I were moving a TV from the parking garage into the elevator of our building, my son went into the elevator first and the doors closed behind him. He immediately started to scream and cry.I pushed the button and the doors opened and he ran into my arms. This happened yesterday evening and twice today, once while on the couch and again going to bed, he burst into tears and said " I lost you, I lost everyone again." I kept my cool and did my best to calm him and reassure him that its okay to be scared, but its over now and he was safe. He seemed so shaken that hubby said he should sleep with us in our bed tonight.
I searched for major accidents were people passed in elevators, and only saw a few from years and years ago and 9/11. My heart breaks that he is so traumatized by this simple little thing.

any thoughts or incite in to these event? thanks

Of course, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is 9/11, which is the most documented instance of elevator deaths. In fact, with very few exceptions, it would be the most likely case involving elevator free-fall. However, one cannot rule out other instances in which people died in elevators which did not involve free-fall; such as cases involving fire. Nor, can we rule out cases involving mine shaft incidents. Such cases decrease the possibility of a 9/11 memory to a certain extent. However, I am inclined to suspect that your son may have been in the twin towers on that fateful day.


If I may offer my humble opinion, I believe that your son's fear can be modified or eliminated with the help of a qualified regression therapist who specializes in young children. Although finding such a person may be difficult, I would not resort to less professional means such as recordings or self-help books. In the meantime, it may help to read any of Brian Weiss' books.
 
I agree. It could be 9-11 or some other elevator accident. However, modern elevators have safety devices in case they malfunction. If an elevator starts to drop too fast there is a an automatic brake to stop it. If that fails there are large springs at the bottom of the shaft. Most elevator deaths occur outside the elevator car, when someone falls down the shaft, etc.


If you haven't looked already, there is a special section here for children who talked about dying on 9-11. There are quite a few, with more being born all of the time. Also look at the video archive section.
 
he seems to be doing well this morning. He told me she talked to his mother???? Hmm, I told him " I thought I was your mom?" his response was simply" Yea" in that matter of fact tone he has. lol
 
I agree with Nightrain. If the fear persists, or other memories surface, you should look for professional help. It sounds like you live in a place where riding in elevators can't be avoided. A fear of elevators isn't that unusual, but the way he described the situation is. Blessings, and peace, to you and your little one.

It sounds like his previous mother died also and she is "visiting" him. This is not unusual.
 
Elevator deaths are rarer nowadays but they still do happen. Maintenance standards can be low in some countries and there are a lot of elevators, both public and private, in use all over the world. And in the case of a bombing, for example, it may be hard to tell who died where, and it wouldn't statistically be considered an elevator death as such. Or his remembrance may not necessarily be a recent one.
 
Since we are talking about elevators has anyone ever rode in an old fashion freight elevator? When I was in college about 1970 I worked as a stock boy during the holiday season at a large local department store. This was downtown and they were leasing an old 1920's building across the alley for the Christmas merchandise. The building had a basement and a long wooden freight elevator with wooden gates at each end. To enter and exit you had to raise the gate by hand. To start the elevator you pulled a rope which turned a switch on (on the roof?). You could look out the sides of the elevator and see the walls of the shaft. A construction worker had written the year 1924 in the plaster.
 
Ashley,


Please read my first book, Children's Past Lives, ASAP, while your son's memory is coming up. I give very specific suggestions on how to talk to him so he can let go of the memory. With a child that age, you are in a position to help him. I don't know of any past life therapists who will work with a three-year-old.


If he brings it up again, encourage him to talk about it, tell him it happened before, and that he is now safe. Sometimes children that age confuse past life experiences with present reality. It's important to allow him to talk about it, express any emotions that he may need to, and then assure him he is now in a new life. Read the case of Blake in my book. It's a good example on how to talk to a child that age who is having a traumatic past life memory.
