Status quo ante
is apropos here. The death of a family member may have its momentary effect, but it does not alter the fabric of society any more than does the death of a star alter the structure of the Universe. Not if you take into account that everything created is unique. With each passing a unique creation is erased never to appear again.

Jesus taught that in ‘that day’ He will raise those in Him again to life. I can guess how that is possible. I trust Him to tell me the truth even over the vast temporal span between me now and His speaking this then.

Hmmmmmm
How is it that . . . ah well . . .
maybe you aren’t hostile to opinions!
You sure have tons of them.
My opinion is . . . belief . . . something I accept as fact is . . .
THAT GOD HAS THE DNA of everything to the tiniest subatomic particle . . . and can recreate whatever He wishes to whenever He wishes to.

Emphasis mine:
YHAOS: Status quo ante is apropos here. The death of a family member may have its momentary effect, but it does not alter the fabric of society any more than does the death of a star alter the structure of the Universe. kosta50: Not if you take into account that everything created is unique.

The underlined part would reflect the worldview of an observer "in" four dimensional 3 space/1 time. Which is to say, time is a linear measurement only, that there is an arrow of time, the past is gone and the future undetermined. However, the full number and types of dimensions (spatial, temporal, etc.) is both unknown and unknowable.
For instance, with one more expanded dimension of time then no thing (and no event) is lost - past, present and future are concurrent. Observers "in" such a continuum may or may not be able to sense the additional time dimension depending on the observers' coordinates.
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Matt 12:36
God's Name is I AM.

I dont take into account distinctions having no difference.

I'm curious, do you see how the following assertion by you is as much a faith in what you believe regarding the universe? ...
"With each passing a unique creation is erased never to appear again."
Mathematically we may show that with a change in geometry, temporal locations you assume to be gone 'never to appear again' are accessible and as such are 'again'.
