Will I ever see my husband again?

I believe we will see our loved ones again

Once in heaven, will people know and recognize those they knew on earth?

In heaven, we will know each other, including those we knew on earth. Here’s some evidence:

1. Heaven will not reduce our mental capacities, but sharpen them (1 Cor. 13:12). We will not be dumber in heaven, but smarter. Scripture gives no indication of a “memory wipe” that will cause us not to recognize our loved ones and others we’ve known. If we wouldn’t know our loved ones, the consolation of afterlife reunion in 1 Thes. 4:14-18 would be nonexistent.

2. After his resurrection, Jesus was not recognized at first on a few occasions (John 20:15; Luke 24:15-16), suggesting some change in appearance. After being with him awhile, his disciples suddenly recognized him (John 20:16; Luke 24:31). This suggests that despite any outer appearance change, the inner identity of the person may shine through, especially to eyes enlightened by heaven.

3. In Matt.17:1-4, at the transfiguration, Moses and Elijah were recognized by the disciples, even though they weren’t told who they were, and they couldn’t have previously known what they looked like. This may suggest we could recognize instantly people we know of but have not previously met, perhaps as a result of individual personality emanating through their physical appearance.

4. Even apart from the direct indications of Scripture cited above and below, it would logically follow that we would know our loved ones in heaven. The nature of love itself is abiding in a way that transcends death (1 Cor. 13:13). While we will no doubt lose interest in and choose not to recall many things that attracted us on earth, the shared experience of loving relationships forges a camaraderie parallel to that of soldiers who have served together in the trenches, and who never forget what they experienced together in that foreign land.

We'll See Our Mary Again

"Marking the entrance to the valley of the Great Salt Lake and standing as a sentinel pointing the way, is located "This Is the Place" monument. Here is featured Brigham Young—his back turned to the privations, hardships, and struggles of the long desert way, his outstretched arm pointing to the valley of precious promise. . . ."That first trek of 1847, organized and led by Brigham Young, is described by historians as one of the great epics of United States history. Mormon pioneers by the hundreds suffered and died from disease, exposure, or starvation. There were some who, lacking wagons and teams, literally walked the 1,300 miles across the plains and through the mountains, pushing and pulling handcarts. In these groups, one in six perished."For many, the journey didn't begin at Nauvoo, Kirtland, Far West, or New York, but rather in distant England, Scotland, Scandinavia, or Germany. . . ."Between the safety of home and the promise of Zion stood the angry and treacherous waters of the mighty Atlantic. Who can recount the fear that gripped the human heart during those perilous crossings? Prompted by the silent whisperings of the Spirit, sustained by a simple yet abiding faith, they trusted in God and set sail on their journey. Europe was behind, America ahead."On board one of those overcrowded and creaking vessels of yesteryear were my great-grandparents, their tiny family, and a few meager possessions. The waves were high, the voyage long, the quarters cramped. Tiny Mary had always been frail, but now with the passage of each day, her anxious mother saw the little one becoming weaker. She had a serious illness. There was no neighborhood drugstore, no doctor's prescription, no modern hospital—just the steady roll of the tired old ship. Day after day worried parents watched for land, but there was none. Soon, Mary could not stand. Lips that were too weak to speak trembled with silent but eloquently expressed wonderment and fear. The end drew near. Little Mary peacefully passed beyond this veil of tears."As family and friends crowded around on the open deck, the ship's captain directed the service; and that precious, ever-so-small body, placed tenderly in a tear-stained canvas, was committed to the angry sea. Her strong father, in emotion-choked tones, comforted her grieving mother, repeating, ' "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." (Job 1:21.) We'll see our Mary again!' "

Cancer is a cruel killer. It took my mother. The hope was the hardest, then the false hope, then the hopelessness. It was all hard.

I think about all the stories that came before mine. Some of those that came before me triumphed, others failed. Most lived hard lives. I know a few name, and fewer details. When I go, so will some of this little scrapes of the past. One day I will only be a name, then that will be lost too.But here and now, I am part of the story of all those who came before, and my son carries on that tail. I will act out my chapter, play my part the best I know how, then pass on the role to another. It is enough.

Is there something beyond this life? I can not say, but having heard nothing to lead me to think so, I live this life as fully as I can.

Olga, so sorry for your lose! To answer your question we would have to know if you and your husband are both followers of CHRIST. If you are then you will see him again, but if not Im afraid you've seen each other for the last time.

1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

If you and your husband had the same belief in God then you will see him again. Or if both of you have chosen to not accept a belief in God, then you will see him again then too.

I am sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a family member to cancer. My mother did. I do have the blessed hope of seeing my mother again, since she was a Christian and lived her life in Him. I am also a Christian because she led me to Christ. Even though I miss her very much, I have the assurance that I will see her again, if I stay true to my belief in God.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Unfortunately nobody knows what awaits us after death and near death experiences are not like the real death. Christianity does not give a direct answer for your question, because a humans mind can't imagen heaven. I guess it is only said that in heaven you will not feel sorrow anymore, but I don't know if you can meet your loved ones again. In other religions like Hinduism you get reborn, so I think there is no answer for that, sorry.

I don't know where CJ gets his information, but according to the Bible, if you are a follower, then it depends on what his beliefs are. If he was a righteous, religious man, his soul will rest until judgement day, at which point you will be re-united, tho it won't be the same as a human relationship at all. If he wasn't a believer or a naysayer, he's dead, and gone. If he spoke against God, however, he's in Sheol.

On a non-Bible note, as I am most definitely not a Bible-follower, I say believe in it, and perhaps you shall. Remember him, and never let him be forgotten - you do him honor.

I am so sorry for your loss, that has to be absolutely devastating. I like to think that I will see my loved ones again, and even though others may not like it, I know that my grandfather came to say goodbye and comfort me after he died. If everything is final and he didn't remember, he wouldn't have come. I always get a chuckle when people claim to know 100% what happens after death, when the fact of the matter is if it was finite, we wouldn't have all the various religions and religious perspectives that we do. I think that you will see him again, may God bless you and help you with your grief.

Your husband is asleep right now. His case is being gone over and when the Lord comes back He will Reward everyone according to what they've done either unto Eternal Life or not.

Do you know if your husband believed in God?

If so, Look forward to meeting up with him again! Stay strong in your faith and keep your self in the Lord.

Did you marry him 'til death do you part'? You want to be sure, have him sealed to you in a Latter Day Saint Temple.
