http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo%C3%A3o_de_Deus_%28medium%29She had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer four months earlier and so she and her second husband spent considerable money traveling to Brazil so she could be healed by this man. Linda was a strongly believing Christian so she bought into the idea that a medium could bring God's healing power to her.
After she returned home to the USA she was 100% sure that she was healed. She canceled an appointment with her oncologist. After a couple of weeks Linda's younger sister convinced her to get an appointment with the oncologist to confirm that the cancer was cured.
She went to the doctor, and the news was completely bad. The cancer was still there and she had less than six months to live. I didn't speak to her again after she returned to the USA but she must have been devastated. Oh well, the trip to Brazil was fun and it gave her high hopes for a few weeks.
Even though we were divorced, I felt that she had a sad early death (age 59). We had two children together and they were in their early 30s at the time of her passing. That was hard for both of them.
