The loss of a loved one is an incredibly challenging experience. It has the potential to leave an indelible mark on our lives. The grieving process is complex, and finding closure can often be elusive. 

However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have opened up a new avenue for those seeking solace: AI-generated replicas of deceased loved ones. 

While the idea may initially sound controversial, these digital replicas can offer catharsis, providing additional time to say goodbye and ultimately aiding in the journey towards closure.
