If I could, I’d sit down with my mother’s side grandparents… but only one last time. As an adult, to seek guidance, get closure on some sensitive family topics, but also to be able to say a proper, conscious, and consensual, goodbye.
I’d love for them to live forever, of course, but losing a loved one is also a moment of self reflection on where we are and where we want to go, in every dimension of our lives. We need that to grow leaps forward, it’s part of the human experience. Bringing loved ones back in an artificial form could be holding people back on that much needed growth, and cause more harm than good.
