If we COULD consult the deceased it would certainly make things easier sometimes!

New user here-- hoping to get some "feel" for how this might go before the Church is contacted about it: A woman of my acquaintance was married/sealed in the temple to her first husband who died, leaving her a widow. She wishes to re-marry an active LDS man who has never married before and therefore has a strong motivation to marry in the temple and be sealed. There was behavior in her first marriage that could justify a sealing cancellation, but she is very loyal to the first husband. The question is this: If she were to request sealing cancellation from her first husband to marry the second in the temple, could the children of the first marriage re-seal her to the first husband after they have all passed away, given that they were married at the time of his death and never divorced. So in essence she would technically be sealed to two men after hers and their deaths, which is allowed by Church policy, although it's commonly believed she won't have both husbands in the next life- it just gives them a right to choose between them. In other words once a sealing is cancelled, can a person be re-sealed to that person after death if they were never divorced? Also, regarding the form for sealing cancellation, does anyone know if the family members of the deceased are consulted, or is it just a private matter between the surviving spouse and the Church? Thanks
