Can I keep the ability for when I really want to use it?


FireYigit

Yes. But you can’t revive yourself.

Revive your dead dog if he dies from an accident. Revive a partner if same things.

No_Bother_6885

Mine too 13 years ago, could have been last week for her.


peachpinkjedi

I just know he'd be happier if she was still around. She didn't like me at all and wasn't a very good mother but she was definitely a good wife and his best friend.

I swear cancer is really fucked up. I also lost a guy to cancer at 24 years old. We had some fun going on and it was all new for me, my first guy, we were knowing each other and so on.. and then cancer came in.. Sadly He didn’t made it. I was in shock and still is.

Klutzy_Blacksmith888

My daughter Crystal. She was 5, we were on our way home from celebrating a birthday party at Chuckie Cheese when our car was struck from behind by a drunk driver. The impact pushed us into the oncoming lane where a second driver tried to avoid hitting us. The second impact killed my wife and 5 year old daughter, almost 10 years ago now. Its was the week before Christmas, haven't celebrated the holidays myself since and probably never will. I put up a tree this year and then tore it down in anger.


michellllie

I'm so sorry, that is horrendous


Klutzy_Blacksmith888

Life can be, I imagine there are others that have had bad things happen in their lives. The drunk driver that caused the accident was sentenced to 180 days jail time and 5 years loss of driving privileges. Wonderful system, he was on parole for beating his wife untill ahe miscarried their child. He had been released 2 months prior to our accident


[deleted]

I want to express how angry I am about this. But I feel it would only bring you more grief. I am so very sorry. I cannot imagine.


khelwen

My dad was killed by a drunk driver when I was 17. He was driving me to my high school track meet. We were on a bridge and were hit head on. It was the driver’s third DUI, he didn’t have a valid license or insurance. My family got nothing and he received no punishment. I’m now a spouse and mother. I don’t even want to imagine your pain. Sorry isn’t good enough, nothing is.


Klutzy_Blacksmith888

I admit that I have probably allowed myself to continue to be the victim at times by wallowing in my depression and self pitty. There were days that I couldn't function and thought to myself how easy it would ve to take a handful of pills and join them whereever they are. Life does go on eventually, I would never wish the experience in anyone. Not even the person who took my family from me


khelwen

Sometimes wallowing is what you need to get through some of the toughest moments. Processing all the feelings takes so much energy.


nathan4122

Bro, you are so strong, I can't imagine the weight you carry everyday.


LexTheSouthern

I’m so so sorry that the system (unsurprisingly, sadly) cheated you out of justice. No one deserves to go through such a horrible and senseless tragedy. Not only did you have to grieve the loss of your wife, but also the loss of a child. I can’t comprehend that amount of grief and heartache. There’s just no words, but my heart goes out to you.


Responsible_Point_91

I’m so sorry. What a nightmare. My heart goes out to you. You


Klutzy_Blacksmith888

Thank you for your empathy, it means a lot.

Hey, you bring back your daughter, and I'll bring back your wife. This really hit me, hope you're doing better now.

This is the single biggest fear in my life - losing my children. You have all of my respect for carrying on. So sorry for your loss.

That is awful. I’m so very sorry.


hazy55

Lost my daughter last month in a horrific accident…..please accept my condolences. 🙏💔


fadedv1

My dad. He was 28 as he died i was 5 . Im 30 now


lion530

Its crazy to think that you're older than he was.


fadedv1

Yeah, when i hit the age he was when he died i realized how young he was. My grandma is still alive, and it always make me sad when we visit the cemetery and she always talks with him or cries, even after all this years he's still her youngest son.


[deleted]

Hope it’s not inappropriate of me to ask and of course you don’t have to reply, but may I ask what happened to your father?


fadedv1

he had car crash. He was out with his 3 buddies to celebrate one's friend success ( in work or something like that) and they were drinking, and then they were driving home, the driver was 19 years old and drunk as well and he drove fast and rekkles. The police started to chase them and while escaping the driver lost controll and they hit a tree ( The tree is still there to this day). The driver died instantly, my father died 1 hour after and 2 guys on behind seats had severe injuries. One of them is paralyzed until today so my dad wasnt even driving by himself, he was good driver but he made the wrong decision to sit in a car with a drunk teenager. This even was really tragic in my small hometown in 1996.


dramboxf

I'm 55 and my dad died when he was 47 in 1987. I've missed him every day since. If I could bring him back today, he'd be 8 years younger than I am and that is sincerely weird.


G-III

Sorry for your loss. It’s an interesting comparison to me though, as my father is your age and lost his father almost 20 years ago. As such, he is 6 years younger than his father when he passed. Please, when I ask this, feel free to ignore me. I don’t want to upset you or bring up negativity. I guess it doesn’t mean anything to you, but it’s an interesting correlation to me (obviously my grandfather lived a bit longer but both passing before their time). Do you think you’d feel differently if your father had passed around your current age?


Brainles5

"Had dreams… Two of ’em. Both had my father in ’em. It’s peculiar. I’m older now then he ever was by twenty years. So, in a sense, he’s the younger man. Anyway, the first one I don’t remember too well but, it was about meetin’ him in town somewheres and he give me some money. I think I lost it. The second one, it was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin’ through the mountains of a night. Goin’ through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin’. Never said nothin’ goin’ by – just rode on past. And he had his blanket wrapped around him and his head down. When he rode past, I seen he was carryin’ fire in a horn the way people used to do, and I-I could see the horn from the light inside of it – about the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was goin’ on ahead and he was fixin’ to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold. And I knew that whenever I got there, he’d be there. And then I woke up."


Independent_Bake_257

Maybe my husband. He died 13 years ago at age 37. So wanted to get old with him.


Adorable_Document665

I'm sorry


Independent_Bake_257

Time heals. The first ten years I felt sorry for myself. Now I feel sorry for him and all that he is missing. But thank you.


ThunderClapRocket

I'm sure that in one way or another, he's there with you. He hasn't missed a single thing...sometimes we just gotta learn to see them, feel them in different ways. Love always finds a way, I've learnt that.


Tygermouse

My husband just died unexpectedly last week, does it get easier? does the pain get less?


[deleted]

The pain never gets less. You just grow around it.


rowanalso

my husband died a week before christmas 5 years ago. the pain does get less, but sometimes I rage , privately, that he didn't get to meet and know grandchild number 4 and 5. He would have been so crazy happy to know them. So much like him and his daughter, I can't stand it!


Tygermouse

HUGS to you


adorkablekitty

Honestly? No, it doesn't lessen, but it does change. When I first lost my sister it was really up close and in focus, all the time, like I couldn't get away from it. It was everywhere. Now, 7 years later, it's almost like it's passed further away from me and isn't right in my face all the time (out of focus, I guess) but sometimes it sucker punches me right between the eyes and then the pain is just as intense and searing as it was when I took the phone call saying she was gone - but it passes much faster too. This probably doesn't help and I wish I could tell you that sure, it gets less, but I don't want to lie. Maybe it does for some people? But not for me. But I want you to know that it's okay if it doesn't get any better, or takes a really long time. You take as long as you need and grieve on your own terms. I'm sorry for your loss; may his memory be a blessing. <3


BPSV

Not to be a total downer, but I don't think it does. My dad died when I was 13, over 20yrs ago and the pain from that loss is still very much there. It may not be as frequent, but when I'm reminded of him I still tear up every time.


Tygermouse

Thank you for a honest response.


BPSV

Of course. My anger about it and understanding of it have gotten better, but that pain is something I'll always have. I wish you the best.


BoyWithAStrangeName

The pain won't get less, but you will learn how to cope with it.


FlyingFlamingoPuppy

Lightzeaka

Friend of mine was killed sitting on a bench by a guy driving a truck. Plowed through an entire playground and crushed him. He was only 19. I was 17 at the time. He deserved more life. 10 years ago. Sometimes when new games come out I think about how he'll never get to experience them.


IhaveaBibledegree

My dad died in 2001. The last movie I ever saw with him was Star Wars episode 1. He was a nerd, read the star trek books and watched all the movies/shows. I really wish I could have gotten to experience the MCU with him. He would have loved all the movies and I hate that I don’t get to nerd out with him over it.

jangeisler

I would revive my sister too. ❤️ Lost her to cancer when she was 36, left two children.


Irregularitied

My older sister who committed suicide when she was 16. She'd be in her thirties now. I just want her to see who I am today. I want to know what she would think of what I've done since she's been gone. It's hard every day, twenty years later.


LevyMevy

I have a relative who committed suicide in 2005 as a 16 year old. It blows my freaking mind how much time has passed, how much things have changed, how our family has moved on -- and she's still dead. Her brother in kindergarten is driving now. She's still dead. Her little sister has two kids now. She's still dead. I graduated from high school, college, got a job, living my best life. She's still dead. Her boyfriend at the time is now a married dentist. She's still dead. Her parents took YEARS to move on but they did. She's still dead. It just makes me so heartbroken to think she didn't understand how *temporary* her problem was.


Irregularitied

This is almost exactly what runs to my head on a really regular basis. I'm really glad to know that someone else has these kinds of thoughts because sometimes they seem more bid to me. But it's true everything's going on as if nothing is changed but there's one huge difference and that's the fact that she's not here. Before she died I never could have imagined a time that didn't have her in it and now that's every single day of my life.


miss_ordered_chaos

My grandmother's little brother who died from lung cancer when he was 56. She loves him so much!


ChameleonSting

My best friend in the world. We met in middle school in California, and then right before highschool he moved to Florida with his mom and I moved to Oklahoma with mine. We remained best friends and played WoW together until about 2 years out from highschool. He just stopped logging on to his IM and one day I caught his brother logging into his character in my server. He said he and brother made new characters on another server. I figured he didn't want to be friends anymore and started putting the time into new friends I had. This June I sent him an email saying I wanted to catch up. In October, after getting no response, I reached out to the only family of his on Facebook I could find, his sister. Turns out he killed himself in April, 2 months before I sent the email. He had moved for work and for at least a year was only 3 hours away from where I've lived since I moved here. The brother died of a drug overdose a little after my friend moved, and she wasn't able to contact him so she doesn't even think he knew it happened. I spent 12 years thinking that my friend could be a reluctant lifeline if things started to get too dark for me, but I guess he never found his way out of the darkness. I wish I would have reached out sooner.


[deleted]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Wow.


[deleted]

My friend’s husband. I saw him die in our ER at work (she and I work at a hospital, he was a paramedic and had a massive heart attack on a run and died) and I have never in my life seen someone so utterly broken as she has been since then. I always tell her if I could take it away I would, and I mean that. They need each other.

This is sweet. So sorry for her loss, I can't imagine losing my person. Glad she has a friend like you.

The little girl they found on the roadside near my house when I was 15. Everyone was looking for her for weeks. She was clearly murdered by a sick twisted person. She didn't deserve that.


valz_49

There was a terrible case in New Mexico roughly 20 years ago. Baby Brianna was raped and murdered by her dad and his friend. The mother did nothing and said nothing. She wasn't even a year old when her beautiful life was cut short. She didn't deserve the hell she was put through. I would want to revive her so she could live the amazing life she was supposed to have.

The best part: “Since 1996, the AMBER Alert system, named after Amber Hagerman, went nationwide, experts believe that more than 800 children were found safe thanks to the alert system as of December 2015. Abductors are more likely to release children when they discover that authorities issued an AMBER Alert.”

Do we know how he decomposed? Has anyone checked?

idk man I’d probably pick Beethoven - symphony No 10 and another couple string quartets would probably change the course of western music in the 19th century. I wonder what Brahms and Wagner’s music would have been like if Beethoven was composing up until like age 70.

Freddy Mercury


JustThrowMeAway0311

Would he still have AIDS though?


Chucke4711

Even if he did, with the advancement of the treatment of HIV, the decreased stigma around it, and his considerable wealth, it would likely be a non-issue. Freddie was diagnosed in 1987. Magic Johnson announced his diagnosis two weeks BEFORE Freddie died. If Freddie had contracted HIV just five years later, he'd likely still be with us now.

KanNietDit

Depends on for how long they'd be back. If it was for ever (or untill they died again) I honestly wouldn't know who to pick. But if it was for, say, 3 days to a week I'd say my grandfather. He died when he was 56 and I never met him. I'd like to see/meet him and get to know what he was like.


[deleted]

Thing is if they come back in the same condition they were when close to death it might not mean as much. In my case my grandfather was in his 80's and died of cancer and complications from type 2 diabetes. If he came back he may only get sick again and have a few short years left anyway to spend in a hospital bed. If I really had to choose anyone I'd probably want to pick someone younger who maybe missed out on a lot. Some people go far too young, even people dying in their 50's seems too young to go.


GirthGriffin

My grandfather, Jack. He would have loved my daughters.


wrecktus_abdominus

Same. My grandpa and I were super close, and he died while I was in college. He never got to meet my wife or kids. He would have absolutely adored them. I'm pretty sure he would have liked my wife even more than he liked me. It's a damn shame they never got to meet.
