The short answer is No.
The misconception that Pope Francis has in any way changed Church teaching or turned us into universalists was explicitly addressed by quite a few Catholic bloggers recently. In particular, Fr. Dwight Longenecker states states it like this:
Unfortunately for those who wish to paint Pope Francis as a lovable
liberal, in fact, ...

The Catechism of the Catholic Church says
2125 Since it rejects or denies the existence of God, atheism is a sin against the virtue of religion. 61
61: Cf Rom 1:18
Sin can be expiated, of course, so those who are currently atheists may reach heaven. But heaven will [does] contain no atheists.

Jas 3.1 I think your question has no definite answer as the Bible does not say. I agree with what Mawia essentially said but I'd like to point out that in the extra scriptural accounts of heaven by Jessie Duplantis Kat Kerr Rebecca Springer. They, to the best of my knowledge, believed the old bodies would be reassembled fixed and come out of the ground. They ...

life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that
will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something ...

Simply put, at that point she would not be sad at all.
The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous, But is terror to the workers of iniquity. -Proverbs 21:15
Example: In the Book of Revelation we see God's judgment poured out upon Babylon. Here is the angel's instructions to the saints concerning this matter:
Rejoice over her, O heaven, and ...

The Bible never explicitly refers to anything other than the angels and life on earth. This does not necessarily demand that there is no life elsewhere. It does suggest, however, that it was not important for us to know.
