Is she in Heaven?

Question

In March 2006 my bestfriend died at 15 and I was 13. It was extremely sudden and unexpected. She had a heart attack. But, I am struggling with the fact that she is not here on Earth. Where is she? I'm a Christian and have been taught to believe in Heaven. But is that really where she is? Some perfect place? I just want to know where she is, if shes ok. What is all of your thoughts on this? If any. Can she hear me if I talk to her? Does she know I cry every night because shes not here with me anymore? Thanks in advance.

Yes, she believed in God and everything. So if theres a Heaven, then I guess shes there. But how can some place really be perfect, and flawless? What do all of you think Heaven is like?

Answer 1

I don't think there is a heaven but I really don't know.
None of the people who believe in heaven know either, they just don't know that they don't know
I'm sorry you lost your friend.

Answer 2

I'm so sorry you've lost your best friend so suddenly. It has to be very hard for you. You say you are a Christian, but do you know if she was a Christian? I'm afraid that is going to determine if she is in heaven or not. I hope she was, but there's really no way to change what is. Whether she can hear you now is something that can't be agreed upon among the Bible scholars. I know it is comforting to think she does. I'll tell you what brings me comfort is to pray to God about my loved ones (my parents, my grandmother, my granddaughter, and some friends) and I ask Him to let them know what I want to tell them. I know He hears my prayers and perhaps they do, too, but I tell Him just in case. The important thing is for you to live your life like she would want you to. This will honor her memory. I know it's very hard to get through the grieving process, but with God's help you can. Remember, He lost His only Son to death, and He knows exactly how you feel. He can and will bring comfort to you. Our loved ones cannot come back to us, but, one day we will be able to go to them and heaven is all the sweeter because they are there to greet us. I pray you will find peace about your friend and that God will bring you through this tough time in your life. God bless you.

Answer 3

Right now your friend is probably sleeping in death. She is not suffering or conscious of anything at all. You are missing her and worried about her and that is understandable but it is important that you focus on the way you are living your life so that you will be able to be there to meet her when she is awakened. Jesus and his armies will soon begin Armegeddon (God's war against the wicked spirits and humans) and you want to be a survivor. But remember that the road to destruction is broad and many are on it. You must find the narrow road to life in order to keep living. By the time your friend awakens, the influence of Satan and his demons will be gone and the earth will be well on it's way to being a paradise. Read your Bible daily. Pray for God's Holy Spirit to help you understand. Do not lose hope. She is alive in God's memory and he will recreate her perfectly.

Answer 4

I can't make that call on whether your friend is in Heaven or Hell. Besides that fact that I don't know how she lived her life while she was here, I am not suppose to judge her. The Word of God says that the dead don't know nothing so she cannot hear you sweetheart. I am sure she would be heartbroken to know that someone she loved is not moving on with her life. I know you loved her. It sounds like you did. But your thoughts, deeds and actions should be on trying to get to where she is. That is living your life and doing what God requires to make it to Heaven to be where she is if there is where you think she is. I know it hurts. Death does hurt when you loose someone you care about. I don't care who you are. I will keep you in my prayers. May God bless U.

Answer 5

I wish I could give you words that would comfort you but alas, I can not. I too am a Christian but I don't honestly know if people go to heaven immediately after death or if they will be raised when Christ returns. If your friend was a Christian, then I would have to say that eventually she will go to heaven. In the meantime, be assured that God would not allow her to be in an unhappy place wherever that might be.

Answer 6

Hon, I am sorry your friend died. The Scriptures tell us that, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." What does that tell you about your friend?

Do you know if she ever talked about her relationship with God before? Did she ever accept Jesus as her personal savior? If she did, then she is in heaven.

[PRAISE GOD! You say she knew the Lord] Then, don't trouble yourself dear. Pray to the Father for "Peace, which surpasses all understanding." Let the Comforter comfort you in your grief.

And as far as your friend seeing you or hearing you? No. I do not believe this to be so. There are no accounts in Scripture to indicate that those in heaven can see us or hear us. Why would we want them to except for perhaps selfish reasons? They are with our Father, worshiping Him in truth and in spirit. What a glorious time she must be having being with Jesus for all eternity. Rejoice dear and be glad that she is where you will one day join her, Really!

And let me remind you of one who does see you and hear you and that is your Abba Father who knows the number of hairs on your head and stores your very tears in a bottle. He sees you. Let Him be your comfort.

Answer 7

She will forever be in your heart and that is all that matters. I too am sorry that you lost your best friend but if you are still crying everyday over a year later perhaps you should talk to a professional about dealing with your grief.

Answer 8

Why don't you ask God? He says in His Word that we can come boldly to the throne of Grace in time of need. He draws near to the brokenhearted. You can pour your heart out to Him, he listens every time and He's here to help us. All we have to do is ask.

Answer 9

I am so sorry for your loss. Loss is difficult. I really feel for you and wish I could give you a big hug.
I went through this when I lost my first b/f, and my son within a 2 year period. I never imagined I would see past the pain of losing them. I still miss them, but I keep them alive by remembering the love for them. We are their only link to life, by keeping them alive in us.
She is in a better place. I am sure she knows you miss her, and love her. She is ok.
I believe that spirits can hear us. I believe in many spiritual things. I think they have another realm, but it surrounds us. We are all a spirit and then a body. So, I think that is where she is.
I sometimes feel the presence of them when I miss them. Maybe it sounds crazy, but I would not fabricate this.
So I am feeling your pain, and I will pray for you.
God bless you.

Answer 10

The answer is yes. She is in Heaven but has the ability to come visit as she chooses. She knows you miss her. She has been there listening as you cried. Trying to console you. Yes she can hear you when you talk to her.
I had an experience just a few weeks back. I was thinking about one of my friends who had left this plane of existence "so to speak". I was washing dishes at the time. I became aware of something playing with my hair as I thought of her and our experiences. At first it scared the bejeebies out of me. As nobody was here but me. But then I realized that she had stopped in to say HI!!
Pay close attention next time your thinking about her or look back more closely on the last time.
Any thing unexplainable happen by chance? Chances are, She was trying to say Hi!!

Answer 11

I believe that when a person passes on they will go to wherever they think they will go. If she believed in Heaven then that is where she would have gone. You can always talk to her spirit. She will hear you and she does know you are sad. She probably doesn't want to see you sad though and would like you to go on with your life, as hard as that may seem. I am sure she loves that you remember her and would be honored if you would always keep her memory alive.
