Question:  Are you familiar with the book a travel guide to heaven and what do you think of it and also what if someone you love doesn't make it to heaven how can you be happy?

Answer: 

Hello! Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the book you mention, A Travel Guide To Heaven, so I cannot respond to your first question.

As for the second part, to quote from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1024)"This perfect life [heaven] with the Most Holy Trinity - this communion of like and love with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angles and all the blessed - is called "heaven." Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness.....(1027)This mystery of blessed communion with God and all who are in Christ is beyond all understanding and description."

Hope this will help you.
