According to an answer on this site, we can still be happy while knowing that people are in Hell and suffering. Growing up, they've always told us that the Bible says that when we enter Heaven, we are given everything we have and/or could ever want.

What if I wanted to visit a loved on in who was sent to Hell? Is there any scriptural evidence that states, or suggests that we will be allowed to visit people in Hell?

The story of The Rich Man and Lazarus, found in Luke 16:19-31 tell us it is impossible to visit others in Hell:

'And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
