According to the article, he wasn't grieving over anything. He was just obsessed with a woman that didn't return his affections, and the psychic said she could make the woman love him by removing the "spirits" that are blocking their love, for a hefty sum, of course. That woman ended up dying, and the psychic then said she could resurrect the woman.
And to top off an already fantastic story, the only reason he figured out he was being scammed, after dropping over $700,00 on such things as fake funerals to fool the spirits mind you, was after the woman was resurrected, he realized it was an impostor. It's a classic case of the saying "A fool and his money are soon parted," so I can only assume he'd had that 700 grand for about a day.
