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?
