When a person dies they lose all physical sensation and information and are in a state of violence, being a soul without its proper body. A soul in this state only retains concepts and conceptual memory. What this means is that you cannot know anything (outside of abstract concepts) that God does not directly introduce into your mind since you have no capacity to receive information otherwise. For instance, you will know you had a mother, but will be unable to remember visually what she looks like, since that is physical memory. Therefore, it is totally dependent upon God as to what the soul is enlightened upon, as for example your question. Since souls are judged, anything that is relevant for graces received or lost will be made known to the soul as well as all those who conspired to aid or interfere with their salvation. Surely then the person would know how much you cared for them, since you no doubt played a role in their eternity.

It's comforting to believe in an afterlife, and to believe that those of our loved ones who have already deceased are in a more pleasant place. Unfortunately, there is not even a scintilla of evidence that there really is an afterlife, so it is better to enjoy friendship and share love while you can..
Beliefs change over the centuries, even within Judaism and Christianity. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 tells us: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
