You’re welcome. I can sympathise with your partner, this something that happened to me many years ago when I was going through a divorce and financial stress. For me it turned out to be a very close relative coming forward to give comfort and support (this I only found out in October this year, 20 years after the event). It scared the **** out of me at the time until I accepted it and spoke openly to my visitor.

The problem is that we don’t always realise that these situations are nothing to fear; often it’s our fear of fear that causes the harm.

The Vicar should be able to offer some help and comfort, so could the Spiritualise Church, Don’t be fooled by good intentioned people offering to come and excise your friend, it doesn’t work like that, a simple blessing would remedy most situations, but ask yourself if you want to send your visitor away.

The best way of dealing with these issues is to talk openly to it, Use normal tones and explain your feelings and fears. You might find that adjustments and accommodations being made. Tell your partner there’s more to be concerned about in this world than that of the next.
