Question
Hi, My husband was killed in an accident this past summer...We are a practicing Catholic family...I know he is with God. The only thing getting me through this is my faith in everlasting life..I know he will know me when I go to Heaven, do you think he will remember our wonderful life together...We were so happy and I often wonder if he misses Dillan(our son who's 13) and I..What are youur thoughts on Happy couples in Heaven?  Thank You

Answer
Carla,

I am just so sorry for your huge and irreplaceable loss. May the Lord of all consolation continue to be with you. Here's what I think: whatever made you happy on earth will make you so much more happier in the next life that it would be difficult to measure. Everything there is infused with God's spirit and in God's very presence. I have no doubt that your dear husband will remember you and his son.
