A good friend of mine was devastated when she lost her father to dementia about 2 and a half years ago. Thankfully he didn't suffer long as was able to be cared for at home by my friend's mother. She has always had a good relationship with her father and I know it broke her heart to see him become an empty shell of the man he was so to speak. Recently, well over the past year really she has decided to try and raise money for alzheimers and has taken part in a few charity events which I think its marvellous, however what worries me, is the money she is spending on psychics in the hope that he will "come through"
The first reading she had she told me that the woman was "brilliant"...but when I asked her what she revealed, the only concrete thing she could come out with was that her brother and his wife are having their house decorated!!!! Now why on earth, my friends would you part with x amount of £'s to be told information like that?, and tbh "what the hell does that have to do with the price of chips!" Apparantely the psychic had bandied around a few names (All common names amongst people of our particular age group) The name Sandra came up, my friend said she didn't really know anyone with that name, but was told that in two years time this name would play a big part in her life! - Really!!!!! Also that her estranged sons would contact her in 2 or 3 years time. I'm not sure how she arrived at the fact that she does have estranged sons but I'm pretty sure that my friend fed her the info as opposed to being the other way around!
This "brilliant" psychic has since held tarot/psychic reading parties in her house, I made an excuse not to go, she's paid out to see a psychic show (thankfully she though that was a load of rubbish) and then revisited the first psychic in her office again. This time though she was as pleased as punch because "her dad came through". She was told that "he is watching over her, always with her etc, and quite randomly will be going on the holiday she's having with the girls in 2015! She told me how the psychic knew her father's name, and how she'd been raising money for charity - call me cynical but all this info is on her Facebook page to which psychic lady has access (she's listed as a "friend!")! Now as much as I think this is a load of old cr*p, I'm thinking, hey, this has actually made her feel happy and if she's found some inner peace through it all, then who am I to say anything. Then she announced that's she's having another "party" in the new year!!!!!
I find it upsetting to see such a good friend being taken in by all this, and what she think's she'll achieve from it either - I wish she could find inner peace some other way.....what would you do if this was your friend?
