Ages at the Resurrection

Question

If I pass away at the age of 30 (G-d forbid), and I have a child of 5 years old. Then he grows up to be 65.

Then, the resurrection of the dead happens.

Will I come back as a 30 year old, while my child is 65?

    What a fascinating question! I am not aware of a source that discusses your question directly but it is clear that the person is resurrected in the last body that the soul inhabited. Accordingly, this would mean that a person who passes away at an early age would end being younger than their children who lived longer than they did.

    Please accept my blessing that your question be nothing more than theoretical and that you live a long, healthy and fulfilled life!
