Can I talk to someone about this ...anyone

I don't think she should have said that, even if she believed it to be true.

I think that was a very nasty thing for this woman to do.

TBH I'd try to ignore her, but also I'd make general discreet enquiries amongst your mums workmates to see if the new woman has been asking around the office to see what gossip/news she can find out about people. I bet she's been going round asking about people as if she's interested in her new workmates and has used this info to wind your mum up ( though God knows why someone would want to do this)

Hope your mum is okay and you get to the bottom of this.

ditto

I thought there was something ethical about these people not predicting death.

I have never believedin this kind of thing untill my mum had a reading done and so much of it was true. She was predicted that I would get married and also have a child in the same year (not jan-dec, but within 12 months after I got married) There was lots of other thing as well. The irony was that she diddn't tell us she had had it done, at the end of the year she produced this document and s much had happened it was spooky.

i would give the coworker more benfit of the doubt than that. Wouldn't assume she's a "nasty" person.
Will be interesting to see if comes true, we all know who the Number 1 suspect should be.

I think that was awful. If someone did have the power to see the future, then they should be responsible with that info. I personally don't believe in that stuff anyway, so would be inclined to dismiss it out of hand.

DH went to a pub once, a clairvoyant (or medium or other such type) had a 'function' in the room upstairs. She got talking to dh, trying to get him to come and join them. He said, I'll come if you can tell me how many pints I'm going to drink tonight. She huffed and walked off. - She should have forseen that and not bothered going over to him, really!

And fwiw, you can say a lot of things that are 'very true', but which are actually SO general that they apply to everybody! (e.g., you are sometimes extroverted, but can also be shy. You've had a few problems in the last year, haven't you?) Also, they say something general then read your body language to see if they are on the right track, and following your body language to guide them to something that seems very specific - so you give them all the info, they just feed it back to you!

I don't believe in it myself. I'd tell you Mum to ignore her. That woman wants locking up.

my friend used to be into card readings and stuff - she would never tell someone something like that. am with distel on this one, if she was for real she would not tell people this sort of thing.

She sounds sinister to me - I don't mean because she has Mystic Powers or any such nonsense - but as if she enjoys manipulating people and having a sense of power. Hence saying such a dreadful thing and then encouraging your mum - who presumably feels pretty vulnerable - to stay in touch.
I'd keep as far away from her as possible.

if she can predict death, then does she have her own funeral booked??!!, please dont let this upset you, she is not genuine, and gives genuine clairvoyants a bad name.

If she could, and id say she couldnt see into the future she would have GENTLY suggested he went to the doctors, not have him dead within 3 months.
Has she heard hes ill? Some folk are bloody vicious.

i think its something like, if you know something awful is going to happen you try and change it, but in changing your behaviour you could cause it to happen when it wouldnt have otherwise, so it would be her fault it happened for telling you and she would be in serious trouble with the universe.

its rubbish. spill hot coffee on her next time you see her. if she is really psychic she will have a brolly ready

Mosschops - what a hateful thing to say to your mum.

I wouldn't take any notice of what she has said for two reasons

1. she is highly likely to be wrong. Now folk may talk the p*ss out of me for this but I believe in these mystical things and can sometimes see flashes of the future myself. And with this sort of thing, most of the time these flashes don't make sense until something actually happens.

2. if she was really into these things she would know that the true gift is not seeing the future but knowing when to tell people about the future you can see. If she doesn't know this - I don't think she is for real.

I'd tell your mother to steer clear of her - agree with Aloha, she sounds odd and sinister.I particularly don't like the bit about her offering your mum her phone number so she can meet her for a coffee and chat about her 'revealation'. Could she be lonely and this is her way of getting people into her life?

I used to live with a rather odd male flatmate, We did not get on. A friend of his read my palm and told me I would die of a blood disease when I was fifty - only three years to go now I do not believe it for a moment and rarely think about it - when I do, I try and value the present day just a bit more than usual.

Ask her for this week's lotto numbers.

Mosschops, I completely and utterly agree with Aloha and tigermoth. She is not an innocent 'nice' lady, make sure your mum has no contact with her!!! Next thing you know she'll be asking for money for a 'cure' for this curse. It's a load of tosh! As mentioned before a genuine clairvoyent would NOT come out with something like that.

Frankly she sounds like a nutter. It is just not the way anyone who believes themselves to be a genuine clairvoyant would behave. Your mum should really steer well clear of her.
