If you entered heaven and discovered the family member(s) you thought were saved ended up being lost for eternity, wouldn't that thought bring you tears and sorrow?
According to scripture, there will be no sorrow, tears, or pain in heaven. I can only assume that you'll be unaware of who was lost for eternity, otherwise you would experience crying, sorrow, and pain in heaven, which scriptures state will no longer exist in heaven.
The only other method of not feeling pain and sorrow in heaven is becoming numb to the fact that your family members didn't make it. Don't we desire that our loved ones be saved while they're alive on Earth? Why would our mentality change to, "ahh they deserved what they got" after we enter heaven, after discovering they're lost for eternity?

Plenty of people experience sadness, pain, grief, loss, etc, and eventually stop weeping and grieving, without them either forgetting or becoming "numb".
It is entirely conceivable that the saints will accept the righteous judgments of God, which is to be expected in fact since converted persons have and continue to lay down their wills and desires to prefer the will of God be done, as they believe His decisions are the best.
Wiping away tears doesnt mean wiping away memories.
