So I lost my boyfriend 2 weeks ago! It's been terrible! A friend suggested a medium called Paula Obrien apparently she's very good!

Have you had any experience of a medium! If I'm honest industry not know if I believe in it atall but I miss him so much and really need some answers Sad

When I was a desperate 18 year old (a long time ago!) I worked as a telephone psychic. Trust me, it's a huge waste of money. We had to keep the callers online for 40 mins average or else we got the sack. It's an industry making huge amounts of cash from people who are desperately bereaved and/or lonely, please don't support it. There were people there who genuinely believed in what they were saying, but at best I think they were on the insightful end of ordinary.

I'm sorry you're going through this OP. This must be extremely tough. Please don't let anyone exploit you.

Some years back a family member was tragically widowed at a very young age. She spent hundreds of pounds seeing psychics in an attempt to get answers which of course she never got from them. I too think its just a business that exploits people at their most vulnerable and lowest point. I am so sorry for your loss but I truly believe you will get nothing from going down this route Flowers

I am also sorry for your loss but I too don't have time for 99.99% of these so called psychics. After 30 or more years involvement in the occult I can name maybe 3 people I have known who have the skills and none of them will do it professionally

No these people take advantage of the vulnerable. You might be better contacting Compassionate Friends for bereavement support.

No.

You must be hurting terribly. But giving money to one of these frauds will only make it worse.

I don't believe in life after death, or ghosts, or anything like that. However, what I do believe is that if anything like that does exist, communication won't be dependent on paying money to someone else.
