Alright so my grandma has lost all her memory.
she can't remember her own kids and forgets 30 seconds after being told.
she can't remember anything about her life.
So my question for all you belivers is:
When she goes to "heaven" will she stay the way she is?
That would be more like hell.
Or will she remember everything from her life?
But that would be impossible, her memories are gone and can't come back.
So whats the story?

I'm assuming your grandmother has alzheimers(sp) disease, in which case, her memories haven't been erased or lost. There's just a sort of a mental cataracts over them, caused by the disease.
And assuming that there is an afterlife (and also assuming you're Christian and are thinking of a Christian afterlife) she wont have her disease after she's dead, of course - wont even have her brain. But, the memories will still exist.
Cheers,
Lost
And I heard a voice in the heavens above me saying, "Write this down: At last the time has come for those who die in the faith of Jesus to enter into their full reward. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blest indeed, for now they shall rest from all their toils and trials; for their good deeds follow them to heaven!" Revelations 14:13

'God' doesn't seem compassionate huh?
Take the hardest route and go Athiest, you go no where when you die, something you can't even think about, because when you do, there is something.
Your grammy is a lost mind, and someday all of us will be.

According to James Van Praagh, the only semi-credible mainstream medium, those who have died of Alzheimer's are fully functioning in the afterlife. Their last few years under Alzheimer's a blur to them, as if they weren't completely there in there mind, phasing in and out.
Take of that what you will, but Van Praagh is pretty damn good, if he's a fake.

Sorry, but your grandma's not going to heaven because God's a dick.

But yes, she'll have her memory back while she burns in the lake of fire. I mean, it wouldn't be much of a punishment if she couldn't remember it.
Craftian, my idea of a radical athiest.

everyone goes to heaven becuase god is like the hippie teachers that tell you just to show up and try, he wants nothing more from you. And if your christian then worry not because jesus said "forgive the people that piss you off" (yes that IS a direct quote) which means since he is part of god than god forgive everyone.
