Heaven is not a place but a state of perfect bliss when we finally unite with the Creator. We can't really answer anything about heaven outside spirituality because its concept originated from spirituality. And no scientific answer, too because it is beyond the domain of science, which is the physical universe.
To LOW: Nowhere in the Revelation did it say that nothing must be added or taken away from the BIBLE. John said nothing must be added/taken away from what he has written, which is the book of Revelation. With due respect but you are putting words into St. John's mouth. After all, there was still no Bible as we know it today during the time of John. It wasn't until 397 AD during the Council of Carthage that the New Testament collection was settled.

The Bible is our only reference source. Take it out of the picture then you have no other valid source.
All religious books dealing with the one GOD, or Christianity are written by people offering their own idea, Interpretation of what they think the Bible means.
Other religions also believe in the one GOD and reference Abraham in their belief.
In the last book of the bible, Revelations, it says that the Bible is the word of GOD, nothing shall be added and nothing shall be taken away.
Over they decades, that has been ignored, so today we have a lot of "What ever", being passed off as the word of GOD.
Even worse, many use what is called a version of the Bible.
The word version, its self, means not the original.

Uhhh... If you rely on "the Bible and your Priest" for your other religious requirements, why won't you start there??? They probably have a much better idea of "heaven" than a bunch of untrained (or uneducated) friends and family, including YOU. You may not like what you find out, but it's your religion. If you can't trust "the trained professionals" to give you the 411, who can you trust???

Ask her what was the most beautiful thing she has ever seen in her little life so far. Tell her that Heaven is even more beautiful. Tell her that she will see all her friends, her aunts and uncles, grandparents, and yes even yourself, after you are all dead, when she comes to Heaven. Tell her that only good people go there so that everyone she meets there when the time comes will be good people and no harm will ever come to her. Tell her that many people believe that their favourite animals that have died will also be there waiting. Tell her everything nice you can possibly think of. Forget about religion as such..........

The Bible actually does not have a lot to say about "Heaven". Tell her to live here as if she were in Heaven, and everything else will take care of itself.

What is she wanting to know, and what are you wanting to tell her? Heaven is a concept and what you want to tell her about it will determine where you should be looking for answers.

check out the unitarian church or a unitarian website
they are not judgemental and really have a positive, caring, and loving attitude about such things.

I think your own heart would be a good starting place. Eventually, she'll decide for herself what she believes.
