Time is a construct of mortality. What is time if you’re immortal? What is age?

How will the widow or widower who gets remarried issue be handled? Does he get multiple wives in their prime up there?

There was just a movie where a WW2 widow remarried, lives with the guy 50 years or whatever, she dies and gets to heaven and both her husbands are up there like WTF.

Didn’t watch it because it looked like another retelling of the common modern trope where “woman finds loophole to be with two men without breaking any rules”, but it does pretty much play into your question.

Based on my understanding of the Bible marriage is a human thing and isn’t part of our experience in heaven but that will probably not sit well with many people.

I’ve thought about this in the past and feel like you will see your loved ones as you remember them or want to see them. We will appear differently to everyone.


When I was in elementary school at St. Aloysius in Baton Rouge, one of my classmates asked the priest this question. He told us that your loved ones will appear to you as you most fondly remember them, and they will see you the same way. I’d like to think that’s how it will be.

Do you have other children?


Yes, I have 1 other, an 8 year old son.
Hard trying to keep his life normal and trying to gauge how he is dealing with it all.

I tell myself every morning on my drive to work, that she is better off where she is. She is in no more pain
She had a rare form of epilepsy, so she suffered from apneic seizures, as well as developmental delays (couldn't walk, talk, or eat)
She was on 8 different seizure meds, as well as a feeding (G) tube, 3 different therapies a day, etc...

If there are no animals in heaven then explain where Jesus will get his white horse from when He returns? Rent it? Steal it?

This has always bothered me. I don’t like the thought of eternity where my wife isn’t still my wife.

I'm pretty sure our priorities and even our thoughts are going to be totally transformed to the point that our natural relationships here on earth aren't even going to be a thought for us in heaven. We probably won't even have familial cares and/or attachments once we are in heaven since our sole care and desires will be to worship God for eternity. I also think we'll view everyone in heaven as our brother/sister in Christ, and there won't be distinctions about who was or wasn't our earthly family.

Sorry to hear this brother, that's a pain that just can't be measured.

When you see your daughter again she'll appear in her perfect form in alignment with the lord, as you will to her, just as Jesus was after the resurrection. What that exactly that "glorious body" is, well we're just not supposed to know that yet.

Philippians 3:21 contains the promise that Jesus “will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” After His resurrection, Jesus was recognizable for who He was. His body was transformed, but it was still His body. The same will hold true for us in the resurrection.

I don't believe that children who die will remain children, they will have advanced to an older adult age, because we will all be aware of our heavenly surroundings, and that we are there to worship and exalt the Lord

I don't believe you will know the family you had on Earth. That would be pretty disappointing to not see your dad and think Darn, dad's burning in hell.

God lives outside of time. So age there isn’t a thing. If I had to guess, physically you’d be in your prime.

I assume you can be whatever you want, like a magic force ghost.

If the afterlife exists, in no way can we comprehend in our human brains. I hate when religious types try and describe it as gold roads, green grass, etc. All earthly things

Prayers are with you. Truly heartbreaking. I pray you find some peace in the thought of her in a better place.

I seem to recall Mormon theology says aged in the physical prime of one’s life.

Mid to late 30s

I’d be in for that age forever if I could get it.

I was thinking about trying out some dreads when I goto Heaven.
