Six months ago my partner left me and is living with someone else. He still keeps in touch from time to time and I get the feeling he still has feelings for me.

I have been very depressed and pray everyday he will return. I go to Warrington Spiritualist church in the hope of a message but have not had one yet. I have even tried spells but nothing seems to work. Will we ever be reunited?

Gill, Warrington

Dear Gill,

In all the years that I have been doing reading and visiting spiritualist churches I have only had about three readings or messages. My friends have sat next to me and have had messages most of the time. One commented to me after her umpteenth message: "You never get a message, James."

The reason is, I don't need one. It's nice to think that someone on the other side is thinking about us and they will come through, the trouble is they cannot step in when the going gets tough and solve our problems.

Although your problem can be heart rending it is not serious for you. You have survived six long months with out this partner in your life.

Let me take you back a week after it happened, that is when you were probably ready to do something drastic.

It was at this time that your spirit friends and family stepped in supporting you, giving you healing, giving you strength. You have come a long way in your six months and you are going to go even further with your life.

I know I am right with this message, trust me you have nothing to lose now the only way is up.
