I don’t know why hearing about her made me feel calmer, safer even. It came from a Sunday Times newspaper article that he read out to me. A journalist had been trying for a baby and after six miscarriages a friend had given her the phone number of a psychic in the US. The scenario was a familiar one for me. I’ve seen several. Was that what made me calm? The familiarity. And of course, there’s a lot of body language and face ‘reading’ – sometimes they can’t pick up anything at all. But sometimes what they have to share is apposite. As the journalist found. There’s no proof, there never is. But for me it’s the connection with something other than this that warms me. I miss it.
