Is there free will in heaven?

I'm not. But a lot of people are, which is why I find it interesting.

I have a few problems with the concept of heaven and hell. First is the implied lack of free will. Second is the feeling of selfishness I get. A person in heaven is very likely to have known and loved at least one person who ended up in hell. How could the person in heaven be happy while that is true? Do you just stop caring? Do you become self-righteous, and agree that they deserve it? It is things like that that creep me out.
