In Alma 40 and 41, Alma addressed some of the questions his son Corianton had about life after death, such as where our loved ones go and what they do between the time of their passing and the Resurrection. We may have similar questions. 

Wilford Woodruff said, 

Death was a gloomy subject to me before I heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was sad to see the bodies of men and women laid away in the tomb. I did not know where they came from, why they were here, where they were going. It was taking, as it were, a leap in the dark. But, thank God, the blood of Christ has burst the bonds of death, given us power in the resurrection, and the gospel of Jesus Christ has pointed out to us the blessings, the glory and the privileges that we can enjoy in this world and in the world to come. Death has lost its gloom with me, with the Latter-day Saints.

I am eternally grateful for a loving Savior who broke the bands of death for all of us!
