I believe and hope to be with my loved ones someday in heaven. Will my husband, who died almost two years ago, know me and still love me? How will he look? If I have hurt anyone in my lifetime, will he or she have forgiven me by then? My husband was a good Catholic. I hope he is in heaven, but where is it? This is all on faith. What if it isn’t the way we thought it would be?
If heaven is sharing in God’s life eternally, how important are any other details about it? Yes, we can presume that your husband will still know you and love you. Jesus, however, cautions against thinking of heaven too literally. He said, “At the resurrection they [people in heaven] neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven ” (Mt 22:30). This is not a put-down of marriage but simply an admission that we cannot force upon God our rules or preferences about what would make us eternally happy.
How will your deceased husband look? Close enough to how you remember his appearance so that you can recognize him. The Apostles were able to recognize the risen Jesus (Lk 24:36–40).

How depressing why wouldn’t you still be husband and wife in heaven? Why would God separated husband and wife that’s heart breaking. I hope that isn’t true because my husband just died 2 months ago and it’s devastating even but to hear that you won’t be husband and wife in heaven that they won’t see of feel about you that was is totally torture

I know that my husband who died 136 days ago is in Heaven and is waiting for me. I need to believe in this more than anything in the world. I believe that God will reunite families in heaven .
My husband died very unexpectedly at age 43 on June 30, 2022. I know he is waiting for me in heaven and I know that your husband is too. Listen to “I beat you there” by Will Dempsey. It helps me know my husband is waiting for me and we will be reunited. Sending up prayers for you.
