Nobody here will know where your granparents are. I didn't read the posts but knowing this forum I would imagine there will be "worm food, a crystal palace on the sun, on a fluffy cloud at the foot of a giant bearded white guy or a sacred cow in India" presented as options.

I'm sorry for your loss. I miss my grandparents terribly too.

I believe that when we die, we go to a place that our soul is conditioned for. Most people who pass over arrive in the first heaven and are greeted by friends, family, etc. After a time, they will find their rightful place. if they had any unresolved issues, they will need to correct those before they move on. They have to "progress" their souls and become Divine before they see God or reside in His heavens. They may or may not see Jesus as that would depend on their beliefs and if they would recognize Him. I do know it does take very special individuals in order for Him to greet them like Mother Teresa.

I don't say this to scare you or put doubts in your mind. It's a Truth that our place in Heaven depends on our souls.

I think the op asked a serious question. He apparently recently lost his grandparents and is still grieving..Maybe he came here for some comfort..Grief is a terrible thing to go through alone..

To the op..If you are a believer, just focus on the idea that Gods love is unconditional..Unconditional love is forgiving and merciful..It neither threatens or tortures..It wraps itself around those who have passed away in their belief and welcomes them home like the father of the prodigal son in the bible story..

I pray that His peace will surround you ..

They are with you, as long as you keep the memories of them alive.
(that's what I've been telling my daughter since mother-in-law died)

You can rest assure that they are in Heaven considering what you have stated. We miss our loved ones as they pass on in to a new phase of life,but that is the exciting part is that you will one day be reunited with them if you have accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and make Him your Lord and Saviour.

I've had people telling me different stories about where my grandparents might be and I was feeling concerned over it cause I've always believed that they were in Heaven with God

I've always believed that they were in Heaven and I've found alot of comfort in that until just recently.

Just the other day someone told me that we don't get to go to Heaven, instead we get to go to the New Earth when Jesus Christ returns back to Earth and that made me wonder where my grandparents were at right now, I've always believed that after you die you either go to Heaven or Hell although I would grately prefer for everyone to go to Heaven

I do believe in Jesus Christ and I am trying to make him be my Lord and Saviour, also if I do go to Heaven after I die will Jesus be there?

just because you believe in something, doesn't make it real!

so the answer to your question is: ofcourse not. don't be silly! after you're gone, you won't be going to a place/person that doesn't exist.
