It's all a load of crap.

This is one of the best questions I ever saw posted on here. I am not able to answer this question as I have not died yet. I truly believe that GOD is a forgiving GOD but there are conditions to the forgiving. So therefore I believe that there is a Hell, which some don't think so, and I'm thinking, but not positive, that it could be an issue once one is among those who have gone before us...~p~

That is one of the mysteries of the afterlife. We believe that we will know our loved ones there and we will always be happy, but it makes you wonder if we won't have that moment of sorrow on judgment day and then be shielded by God's love from any other sorrow.
[Rev 21:4] He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, (for) the old order has passed away."

Though we will not know until we are there to experience it, but that is a hard question to answer.
I seriously doubt it will be a joyful feeling.
I would think that it would be a feeling of sorrow for we who may be permitted into paradise will only do so through our compassion of others.

Those who think they are "saved," or even that there is something to be saved FROM, are the ones who are going to be sorry. Sorry they wasted so much time and energy participating in a fear-based religion, and sorry they racked up so much karmic debt persecuting those who understand that there is nothing to fear in the afterlife.

Wasn't it Thomas Aquinas who announced that one of the pleasures of the saints was listening to the screams of torment from hell?
That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell.
-- Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica
Nice afterlife you guys got there. No thanks.

Maybe a few tears or numb to both.
