We don't need to know how

Would parents, who died decades after their child had gone on before them, have the chance to raise that child, picking up basically where they left off, meaning the time of the child's resurrection would be dependent on one or both parents' survival, or did they miss that opportunity and the child grew up in the meantime, raised in the heavenly nurseries and schools?

Doesn't that beg a dozen theological questions! When do we rise? Does everybody rise at the same time, or some earlier, some later? days later? an age later? everybody raised & judged at "the End of Time"? Do we rise in perfection (or not), or do some have to take Purgatorish remedial classes? What is a soul, separate from the spirit in our minds, and when and how do we actually acquire a soul of survival value?

Fortunately, in idealizing the afterlife, regarding the salvation of souls, we don't have to know the details on how, or when, or what. We know the why, we know the Way.
