And if you're not happy, will it still be "heaven"?

You must have read the Scriptures incorrectly--like many people. The people who don't go to heaven will go to everlasting punishment, not everlasting punishing.
The result of hell, not hell itself, will be forever. The people who go to hell will be burned up and gone forever. They won't keep burning forever.
If they kept burning forever, that would mean they were immortal--living forever--and that would mean that no one ever dies: they would either live forever in heaven or hell. The Bible doesn't say that. It says, The soul that sinneth, it shall die. (and many other texts talk about dying.)
Revelation 21:4 says, And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more sorrow, neither sadness, nor crying, nor pain. For the former things are passed away.
Read the Scriptures again, Hon. and
God bless!

You would still be happy cuz you were in heaven. The contents of heaven cannot be unfathomable by the human brain. We would miss family and friends but would live with God for all eternal.

Well , in Heaven the cares of this life will be no more!
If I were to be aware of it I would be very sad.But since there is no saddness in Heaven- I guess won't . I am sad no for those I love are not saved.And in Heaven we are not known as family as we know it here on earth.

There are no tears in heaven. Learn to look beyond your nose, and see farther than this.
Yes you will be happy. Yes there are those in my family who will find themselves plunged into hell. It was their decisions. My decision is to try the best I can to do the will of God and let me tell you IT AIN'T EASY!!! God knows it's hard.
For more than two decades I've flopped about trying to learn more of God than I did three decades ago. In all of that it is only today that I finally got a huge part of what He is trying to teach me!! More than two decades of screwing up and I JUST GOT IT TODAY!!!
Whew! Only twice or maybe three times in my life can I say that I've had an epiphany like that!
But I know for all my struggles in life, my prayers for those I love, and all the pains that beset me over the years ...God is here with me.
There are those in my family I love and they do not accept God's salvation. Intimate family members have spit on it.
I put God before them. So, He puts me in His kingdom, and there I will have Him to wipe away every tear, I will be happy in God's kingdom, regardless of who goes there with me or not.

No i can't be happy understanding that. subsequently I take the Christian hating in this internet site. i desire even you to be in heaven. i desire you for a chum continuously. I won't make me happy understanding every physique is in hell. Jesus will wipe those tears away nevertheless.

If you go to heaven, your life on earth and those left behind will no longer be of any concern. People in heaven do not sit around on clouds watching their family and friends or wondering about them.
If you're worried your family or friends aren't saved, give 'em the gospel of life!

Well what could you do..since you went to heaven and accepted God well there had to be a day that you had to spread the gospel to them! You did your part but they didnt follow through...its like studying for a test and your trying to help your friend but he doesnt want to...he failed and you passed but you tried! What could you do?

We are promised that God will wipe every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more pain. I will miss loved ones not present (and some of them will not be present), but I will be able to rejoice in God's justice, which is an extension of His grace. He'll take care of the rest.

I have a question for you, what's an after life? Does not make sense to me but I here it a lot. This is it, eternity is now, have you ever known a time when it is not now? This is why meditation is much more important to me than prayer.

Is this your way of encouraging us to spread the word before it's too late?
The grief for your earthly friends and family will be brief.
