(Los Angeles, CA) - I was to meet (David) before he left on his trip to Spain. David was my rock, my best friend. The morning we were to meet he never responded to my calls and my inquiries to his place of employment led to the equivalent of being hit by a Mac Truck. My mother passed away from breast cancer 3 months prior so I hadn't yet peeled myself off the pavement from her death. Literally unable to breathe hearing the news that David was missing, I fled my office and began what was to be a 3 week search from him around the clock. The police said they didn't have time, his friends laughed it off said he was probably on an excursion to Mexico or Vegas, his family on the east coast said the same. It was as if the whole world shut him out and dismissed my solo concern that he was "missing".
A week and a half into the 24/7 search (I never slept) my boss said I had to make a choice, search for my friend or be at work 8 hrs a day. My choice to just search for David was based on that when I found him I could breathe again because without him life didn't make sense.
(or so I thought at the time)
1000 miles, phone calls, flyers, and inquires latera kind lady named (Marie) who was unrelated to the situation softly said"Why don't you see a Psychic?" I replied, " NO! I don't trust them. Only a few have that gift and I haven't a clue how to research who does and who doesn't."
Marie smiled and understood. She said, "I have a friend named Cheri Mancuso. She's special and you need to see her because she's very good with missing person cases."
I thought about what she said and realized I had no more clues or leads and wasn't about to sit and wait for the police who kept reminding me they had more important cases to solve. I had covered most of LA from the beaches to the outer valley only to end up defeated, exhausted, broke and barely able to breathe from increasing panic. So, with nothing to lose, I made an appointment with Cheri based on Marie's referral.
A few days later still skeptical, I arrived at Cheri's home clinging to David's photo. Her home was nestled in the side of a hill high up in the Pacific Palisades near the ocean. She greeted me at the door with a much-welcomed kindness. Her large insightful eyes marked years of experience. Her un-weathered face radiated tremendous warmth. I was asked to wait in the living room as she finished up with a previous client. As I sat down on a living room chair, the kind one sinks into and becomes rooted with comfort I noticed it was not the stereotype ugga bugga new age psychic environment I was expecting. It was very cozy, warm,inviting and normal. The massive picture window framed a beautiful backyard and garden. I could hear children next door laughing and playing in a swimming pool. Their innocent sound somehow made me feel more comfortable being there.
About 15 minutes later, Cheri appeared and led me to a small quiet room just off the living room. I handed her David's photo and as she held it, she listened to my eleven-day story of nervous details which I babbled out as coherently as I could manage, trying to leave out the apparent emotional aspects that I sensed she had kind patience for. Then Cheri informed me that she would phone me in the early morning hours and that I was to write every detail down. I thanked her for not questioning why finding David was so important to me as I was getting sick of having to explain a friendship concept to others. She smiled and softly said, "I already know the answer to that one." I believed she did.
Cheri said she was accustomed to working on missing person cases. She was the first one take this situation seriously and not lend unsolicited advice about the health of mind I was in. Our session was brief but I knew there was no more to be said. It was like Cheri could read my mind thus shorting a verbal conversation. As I got up to leave, she reached out gently touching my hand and said very intently, "Cindy, there will be many blessings poured upon you after this is all over. Many blessings."
'Excuse me?" I said somewhat shocked.
"Yes, she replied firmly, "trust me, they will come."
I sort of smiled back, and quietly left.
As I drove down the winding road from her home I thought to myself, "What blessings?!? What blessings could possibly come from this freakin nightmare?!!! My mother just passed away, now David may be gone too? What Blessings?"
But Weeks, months, even years later - Cheri was right (as I later learned she always is) Blessings did arrive by the truck loads, as well as a great healing.
Cheri Mancuso was the only human being who helped me on this missing person search for 10 days straight. She did so because she saw someone in desperate need of help and admired my commitment for finding a friend who wasn't a family member, a lover, but just a friend. I will always be grateful to her for being the one and only person who stood by me during a horrific time.
She found David for me and helped me through the grief of his passing. I kept a detailed journal during the entire missing person search experience and the life altering healing after wards and one day I may write a book about it.
Cheri Mancuso is a private person. She doesn't publicize herself as many other "psychic's" do. Yes, there have been fabulous articles written about her, talk shows and radio spots in the past but she herself isn't pro-active about it (has so many other psychics are) because she's more focused on using her gifts to help others than glorifying them. I think that's part of what makes her so special and I love that her clientele is always confidential.
She helps and guides major corporations, small businesses, serious individual and relationship problems and more. From missing pets, people, objects, to guidance of major life altering choices, perspective about a major decision or confirmation thereof and everything in between Cheri Mancuso truly is a "Blessing"
