Not for me. Letting go has been the hardest part of accepting the loss of my mother in 2018, just because it was so sudden, and I feel like such technology would unnecessarily prolong the grieving process or, in extreme cases, prevent it from playing out at all. Her health had been declining for a while, and you always think you have more time until that time runs out. I still deal with a lot of regret for not calling her more often because talking to her was so depressing and I have my own mental health problems, but speaking with a virtual replica of her would do nothing for me. It wouldn't be her, so what's the point? She's gone, and the only closure I have is knowing that she isn't living in misery anymore. Sometimes that's the best you can get.
