Please help my father in law passed in November after being married to my mother in law for 57 years. For a couple of months she didn't feel his presence, now she says he will not go away and is trying to sexually molest her. She is becoming increasingly agitated about it. What can we do?

Respectfully, a matter such as this is better left to a licensed, health care professional and an ordained clergyman. There may be issues she wants to present to both since each would have a different point of view. One for the physical part of it, the other for the spiritual. In the meantime, daily PRAYER can be of great help not only to her but for the person who has passed.

I will agree if there are spirits which of course the Christian church believes exist then you have an issue best dealth with by your local clergy. Not all christian denominations accept this idea fully but there are many that do.

Also in passing often the person who is left behind has mental stress, depression and other issues that often let them believe so many things, including remembing past experiences perhaps that may seem real

If you are open to spiritual resources, a pastor or pastoral counselor might be helpful. If not, a reputable licensed professional counselor, licensed clinical social worker, or licensed marriage and family therapist may be an alternative resource.

Acute stress often preciptates the return of unresolved issues from our past experiences. Grief counseling from a skilled person who can also help with underlying issues, if they are present, could be a "go to" for these concerns.

A church office might be a good place to provide referrals for you to check out.

But with all things, one should also consider the fact that she may be having a mental breakdown, from the loss. She should consider seeking help from a professoinal
