Heaven most sounds like a place we have made. Not in whether it exists, but more in how it must operate does heaven bear the scars of human creation. Loved ones are reunited there. Heroes of faith wait on perpetual display. Questions concerning all things unknown are answered.
Funny, heaven may well exist without needing God at all. At least our derivation of it asserts as much. Nevermind that scriptures speak of no one being given in marraige there. Why then should there be sons, daughters, grandparents, mothers, fathers--beyond the consumate one? Heaven is described only as a place where God is worshipped wholly.
Maybe that picture is too bland for believers. Maybe the thought of such a place is not one worth believing in at all, one without the relationships we hold dearest. Then, maybe therein lies the problem.
