Watch a few NDE videos and you start to wonder about the persistence of selfishness. People cross over and suddenly they couldn’t care less about the bereft loved ones being left behind, they just want to stay and enjoy that glorious afterlife.
I have always wondered how happy one can be in Heaven, when able to see loved ones suffering downstairs.
We don’t get all the answers here, and faith must suffice.
I think the answer is more obvious than you think.
Ironically, there is a certain degree of an all-consuming selfishness in Christian theology. We are to forsake all things to obtain that one Object that benefits us. This includes loved ones. In fact, if our regard for them is not HATRED relative to the Kingdom of God, then there is a problem.

See my post above- many feel that there is no remembrance because there is no sorrow in heaven- to remember loved ones back on earth would bring sorrow it is argued- I personally think they might have a point- (it’s not that they won’t recognize their saved loved ones when they pass on and enter heaven too though- they should and rejoice with them, but until that time? I just don’t know, but think the memory is not present while their loved ones are back on earth- either that or they just look forward to meeting them again)

Easy, because we will know and we will understand, people also ask if their pet or ice cream will be in heaven, I don’t know, but you won’t miss them and long for them if they aren’t, things will be right for you in heaven and you won’t be the you that you are here.
“I have always wondered how happy one can be in Heaven, when able to see loved ones suffering downstairs.”
If they CAN see, which they probably can’t, it won’t make them sad.
Revelation 21:4-6. “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.”
