Intriguing Is Notion That in Heaven We’ll Meet Not Just Relatives but Ancestors

There are tremendous consistencies among those who claim to have glimpsed the afterlife during “near-death experiences.” A central one is that during the brush with death, after going through sort of a tunnel, and to a light, they were greeted by Jesus, angels, and deceased loved ones: those who had preceded them.

Let’s focus on the deceased loved ones. Obviously, such a prospect comes as an enormous relief to those who have lost their closest relatives – almost too good to be true, and yet true it appears to be.
