The idea that we will go somewhere and meet all of our ancestors and deceased pets is bizarre. What age will they be to us and what age will their ancestors be to them? Would we have the same relationships, good and bad, and the same shared memories? Will we forever be someone’s child again? Will heaven be a giant social event where I can feel awkward for eternity? Eternity sounds awful.
I do, however, believe there is more than our physical life. My wife’s family lived with ghosts, at least what they all independently experienced as ghosts, and they are far from alone.
