Thanks for your comprehensive write up on this phenomena, Simon! I experienced this time bending in 2020 with my wife, who was in the midst of breast cancer. I write about my experience and realization here: https://kevintriplett.substack.com/p/time-machine

Thank you Kevin, this is so beautiful, full of tears and joy here ❤️

"I let it go to a future without my wife. I allowed my mind to imagine what it would be like. I felt the intense grief and loneliness — but didn’t dwell there. I didn’t need to, I only needed to dip my toes into that sea of pain and sorrow.

I then traveled back to the present and felt a deep appreciation for the gift of another day with my beloved wife, as if I had traveled back in time to be with her. I was there, in that moment, from the future and no longer felt adrift or angry or sad. Instead, I felt gratitude. And it was real, I was with her and she with me. And that moment, two years later, is still present with me as if it were today I had traveled back in time to be with her."

... here for everyone and anyone https://kevintriplett.substack.com/p/time-machine
