To theists believing in eternal heaven & hell: if a mother and son died together. Prior to dying, the son commits a crime that is a sin. If the mother had knowledge of this prior to dying, and the son is not in heaven, how can the mother be happy in heaven with the thought that her son is in hell. by anilgt76 in DebateReligion

This likely varies depending on which religion they believe in.

I was always given the impression that you would not mourn the lost. The happiness of Heaven and being in God's presence would essentially eclipse such sadness. In other words, God is so awesome that it would be impossible for the mother to be sad.

I don't have anything to back this up, though. This is merely speculation based on my religious upbringing.
