I have been struggling with an issue on the "afterlife" since I had a death in my family mid-last year and thought that I would post it in hopes that GrantDawg, revrew, or anyone else who has provided counsel in the past.

I am looking for the religious "textbook" answer and any commentary/thoughts/philosophies. Assuming that after you die, there is an afterlife and provided that you are reunited with those that have previously passed, how do/will you perceive the age of those relatives (and they your age) that you are reunited with?

For example, if your mother or father passes while they are in their mid-20s or 30s and you live to be 75 years old, are you an old man while they are still in their relative youth?

Disclaimer: Not religous, but know a lot about various religions.

You're asking for a hard definition of a spiritual question.

Not gonna happen. Religious textbooks are very subjective pieces of material. Ask a question, get 20 different answers depending on where you look. ESPECIALLY when you start dealing with hardcore metaphysical stuff, things really get blurred.

Honest piece of advice. Decide for yourself. Don't let any piece of text define what you believe.
