I can infer that if God exists, he would be the best source of comfort for anyone who has been damaged and can help people emotionally, spiritually, even physically.
I believe our memories and experiences will persist through death into the afterlife. I also believe that God has the ability to heal the scars of those experiences (presently or after death) so that while they are part of who we were and are, they do not define who we can become.
I highlighted that phrase because you don't know the answer. You have to imagine. I just found it odd that you actually said it, typed it. You don't know. You have to imagine.
And yet, you must be quite certain of the answer you gave. An impressive chain of beliefs.
I simply find that disturbing, that you literally admit to having to basically make up an answer, when you also believe so very much (basically everything) rests on that answer.
