Will My Family Still Be Together After Death Even if One Falls Away from the Church?

Parenting is one of the most joyful yet challenging journeys on the road back to Heavenly Father. Before marriage and children, who would have thought that we would be willing to trade our own life to spare our child’s? Or that we would weep many nights, wondering if we were failing as a parent or just from being overwhelmed with a particular child? Perhaps we can identify with the prophet Nephi when he said, “For I pray continually for them by day and mine eyes water my pillow by night, because of them; I cry unto my God in faith, and I know that He will hear my cry.” (2 Nephi 33:3) Though he was speaking as the prophet over his people, he must have felt as parents do, watching over their brood.

It is a difficult thing to watch a child turn away from the teachings of the gospel. There are many things we can do to prepare them against the devil’s attacks but there is no guarantee that they will make the correct choices on their own. We have to be alright with that. Our purpose for mortality was to gain a physical body and learn to commit to the Lord’s way. There are families who are doing all the right things and yet the children still wander. The Lord knows our situations and He gives us nothing but hope. We are blessed to know that He is not a hellfire-and-brimstone-kind of God who wishes to punish every little mistake, but His arms are continually open in love.

 What then will happen to our family in the next life when one walks away from the covenants with the Lord? Elder Robert D. Hales gave a beautiful talk for parents. I take the answer from his inspired words. He says, “The Prophet Joseph Smith declared—and he never taught more comforting doctrine—that the eternal sealings of faithful parents and the divine promises made to them for valiant service in the Cause of Truth, would save not only themselves but likewise their posterity. Though some of the sheep may wander, the eye of the Shepherd is upon them, and sooner or later they will feel the tentacles of Divine Providence reaching out after them and drawing them back to the fold. Either in this life or the life to come, they will return. They will have to pay their debt to justice; they will suffer for their sins; and may tread a thorny path; but if it leads them at last, like the penitent Prodigal, to a loving and forgiving father’s heart and home, the painful experience will not have been in vain. Pray for your careless and disobedient children; hold on to them with your faith. Hope on, trust on, till you see the salvation of God.” 1

President Henry B. Eyring once expressed concern to a fellow member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles about the eternal residence for a wayward member of his extended family. The apostle said, “You just live worthy of the celestial kingdom, and the family arrangements will be more wonderful than you can imagine.”2 We can trust that the Lord rewards our righteous efforts and that we will have claim on our loved ones in the next life.

  • Hackers broke into my wallet and stole over 70k worth of bitcoins. Everything occurred so quickly. I was at work one morning when I received an email from blockchain asking me to verify my account for safety reasons, which I did thinking it was the appropriate blockchain email address. I then clicked a file that was attached to the email, and that’s when everything went wrong. My personal computer collapsed for a brief period, and then I got an alert that my Bitcoin request had been submitted to a different wallet. I tried emailing the blockchain support since I was so enraged and perplexed to see if there was any chance I could get my bitcoin back, but they stated there was nothing they could do. I gave up on it for a little period of time. I was informed that I could actually get back my Bitcoin with the aid of a hacker. I requested assistance from jamesmckaywizard who was introduced to me through a colleague. They only required the information from my own wallet. The money was found in my wallet in less than 4 working days, and it turned out that the intruder had already spent some of it, leaving me with only about 53,820.00 bitcoins. I’m still pleased and happy, jamesmckaywizard deserves every bit of praise for the fantastic job they did. They are influential on WhatsApp and email. jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +316…5744…6.248.

  • In May, my credit scores were 486 (TransUnion), 514 (Equifax), and 523 (Experian). When I applied for a mortgage loan in June, I was denied due to my low FICO scores. I turned to Reddit to ask for advice on how to improve my credit. I received numerous suggestions about HACK MAVENS CREDIT SPECIALIST. I reached out to him, and he replied promptly. I shared all the details about my credit situation, but I was hesitant to release my funds to him. He assured me that he could fix my credit, and I would pay for his services once the job was completed, which I agreed to. After three days, I received a notification from Experian saying, “Congrats, your FICO Score has increased!” I quickly logged in to check, and to my surprise, he had raised my scores to 806 (TransUnion), 814 (Equifax), and 816 (Experian). All negative items on my credit report were removed; no inquiries, no collections. I’m incredibly thankful. I just received better credit card offers. H A C K M A V E N S is amazing! You can reach him via email at H A C K M A V E N S 5 AT G M A I L DOT COM or call/text/Whats-App at [+1 (2 0 9) 4 1 7 – 1 9 5 7]. Don’t forget to mention that I, Anna, referred you to him.,

  • Thank you Metronet Credit Solution for helping me fix my credit score. I suffered setback on health ground that affected my credit score drastically in the year 2023. Rebuilding my credit score became a nightmare because i was already into medical collections, loans that I couldn’t pay back after my recovery in 2024, this became a very serious challenge for me, had to go online shuffling for a reputable company that could help fix my credit to no avail. On 26th of July,2025, a friend in Texas reached out to me, I complained what I was passing through, and he recommended this amazing company which I gave a shoot. I reached out to this company on 15th of August, 2025 for help,and this amazing company promised to fix my credit score after about 20mins conversation with the company, they assured to fix my credit score, delete late payments,and all negative items on my reports showing across credit bureau! Couldn’t believe it initially because it was too good to be true. Wow! to my greatest surprise, I was asked to verify and confirm my new credit score across the 3 credit bureau, and I did as directed only to see an amazing excellent credit score with all my negative items cleared, it was like a magic but then, I refused to recommend their services because I want to be very sure it was going to work out and I kept monitoring the new credit score to see if it will drop but it never dropped. Just last week Thursday, I applied for a loan from a credit firm that was into loan and got approved from same loan company that turned me down late last year. Thank you Metronet for all your help.
