I am Catholic and my wife died recently of cancer. I miss her so very much and I still love her very much. My question is, can she hear me when I talk to her and is she near me in spirit and can she see me? I am 68 and she was 66. Also what will our relationship be like in heaven?  Thank you sincerely.

Because you and your wife share the life of the Holy Spirit which you received at Baptism, your souls are alive with God.  That is her life even though her body is in the grave.  She’s alive.  I don’t think that love ends.  I think your love is enhanced by her presence with the Lord.  I believe that she’s asking the Lord to watch over you in a special way.  This is her way of loving communication.

When you both are in heaven, you will continue with that vital life of the Spirit.  Your love will grow in the presence of love itself.
