Here's what i see as a problem with heaven. Feedback appreciated

So you've made it to heaven. Well done!
But when you get there, you find out that your husband/wife or children or some other person dear to you hasn't made it in.

How do you enjoy paradise knowing that person who is dear to you is suffering?
Or is your memory of that person erased and if it is, would that be a desirable circumstance? Would you want that person you loved to cease to exist for you?

Thoughts?

@Pikachu = If you are talking about the biblical heaven can you cite the verse that says that families will be in heaven?
@Diotrephes

I'm not sure what you mean?

I'm not aware of any verses in the biblical fairytale that says that there will be families in heaven. It does say that there will be no marriages in heaven. The focus will be on kissing God's butt for eternity.

Matthew 22:29-31 (NKJV) ="29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are [a]mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels [b]of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,"

Yeah i don't know if there are meant to be families in heaven or if your marriage still exists in heaven and so on.
I do know that i cannot fathom being happy anywhere if i knew people i loved were suffering.

The good thing about heaven and hell is that people can shop around the various religions to find one that suits them. The biblical heaven and hell are for the Jews only. Only people who are members of one of the twelve tribes of Israel can pass through one of the twelve gates into the 1500 mile-sided golden cube called New Jerusalem.
