Question:

A friend of mine has a daugther who believes she is talking to her brother. The thing is at one time the girl was pregenat with twins, at the time of birth one of the twins died a birth. At the age of three was time the surviving twin "girl" says she started talking to her brother, when the mother happen to walk by the room when the lil girl was alone and talking loud.

The mother has tried talking to the girl seeming to think it was a imaginary friend but the lil girl rebuke this and said "this is my brother John (it gave her the name) and he died, and he wants me to come with him and I want to go!". This info has never been told to the girl about her brother being dead or it was a male child.

Lately the girl was persistant about being with her brother and one time gave a letter to the grandmother thinking she was going to see the brother first, being she was going to die.

The last time I talk to the mother she mention she caught her daugther standing at the very edge of a couch and on her toes, when ask what she was doing see says she was trying to reach her brothers hand.

It has become a burden on the mother, because the lil girl will be starting school and at pre school the lil girl would mention her brother and how he is not here, even at family get togethers she does the same thing.

I told the mother the basics pray rosary, bless the house, and go to confession, because at one time before the birth she was on the abortion table about to got through the procedure when she ask for spiritual helped her prayers were answered, when the doctor got called out the room, she took as a sign an left.

My priest recommended says have a mass for the child and give a name. Her priest says she did not go through the act no sin (I don't agree), no mass is needed and go she a psychiatrist. Did not even look or speak to the girl.

She has starte going to church more and at times the lil girl would go and act up when going into the church, other than that she is calm and sweet lil girl. I gave her suggestion as to what to read, website for answers, and prayers, but on her half she is tired l and doesn't fell like going through all this, that is when I told her all that I can do, besides prayer for then.



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Solomon:

One thing is for sure, this little girl is NOT seeing or talking to her brother. If she is seeing and talking to a spirit it is a demon. If this was actually her brother, the brother would not be encouraging her to "come with him." Only a demon does that.

I would recommend:

  1. that a Mass be said for the dead child, and name the child. This is standard traditional Catholic practice.
  2. have her house blessed.
  3. do all the things a good Catholic should do: pray a rosary, attend Mass weekly, frequent confessions, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, praying at meals, at bedtime, and other times with her children, bible reading, etc.
  4. say applicable spiritual warfare prayers from our Catalog.

You can say some of these prayers too on her behalf as her friend, but she really does need to do this herself. I know she is tired, but it is her duty to protect her child regardless of whether or not she is tired.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
