Amanda Berry is one of the three girls who had been missing for ten years, before escaping her kidnappers this week. Back in 2004, her mother went on the Montel show, where America's most famous and richest "psychic" (Sylvia Browne) told her on national TV "She's not alive honey", and that she would meet her daughter again in the afterlife. The distraught mother (Louwana Miller) then subsequently went home, sold her child's possessions before dying of heart failure soon after.
I can't help that feel the complete loss of all hope, and being told she would see her daughter again in the afterlife, may have contributed to her death.
Sylvia Browne has a long history of similar gaffs.
I know there is an argument that psychics give comfort to the bereaved, and it's "just a bit of fun" or harmless entertainment for the feeble minded. However, surely when you take away all the showbiz and razzmatazz, they are the worst kind of frauds and charlatans out there, making money from pain and suffering, and in cases such as this, possibly causing early deaths. I'm starting to think the law take a stronger look at psychics in general.

Beggars belief why loads of mainly women believe this stuff.
I was disgusted when I read about what she told the poor mum.Doubt very much she'll be ccharged with anything though.
Although saying that Sylvia Browne 'caused' this woman's death is over the top. Still, I hope she's ashamed for lying to this woman. Sick bitch.
but seriously, i dont believe this "die of a broken heart" business. there is always a cause of death in this case it was pancreatitis
“Our family in no way blames Sylvia. This doesn’t change anything. We still love her and believe in her," said Cole in a statement forwarded to HuffPost by Brown's rep. "
Vomit. :mad:
Words fail me. There is a special place in hell for this woman.
She died a few months later - of an asthma attack. I have often wondered if being told that caused her death as when the attack started - and she had had many before - she panicked and simply was unable to breathe. A self fulfilling prophecy, in other words.
That is why I always see these people as worse than charlatans. I think they should be locked up for fraud and preying on the vulnerable. Every last one of them.
The more this is exposed and discussed the closer we move to a society where we say this is simply unacceptable.
Amanda's mother will have been desperate for answers 24/7at the time. She will also have known that psychics are not always right. She wanted some comfort.
How about this and it is absolutely genuine. I am NOT a psychic but I had a dream that the younger Boston bomber was hiding on a boat.
I woke up next morning, turned on the news to find that he had indeed been hiding in a boat. Don't care if you believe me or not, I shocked myself. !
Well considering how big this story is i hope it's a while. Besides with 3 girls being found alive this is one story that won't be forgotten. Hopefully she is ruined.
Yes, sometimes they guess wrong.
She's not even very good at guessing
Because morons (believers) allow them to.
What an utter fraud. I hope this is the end for not only her for every other "psychic" who peddles this cow muck.
