On a purely theoretical level, it's probably possible to change your own reality so that someone who died some time ago is not actually dead, after all, BUT it would take a tremendous amount of mental discipline and a very flexible view of reality, and most people simply do not have this. If you did have it, I expect it would be possible.

But... I've never tried this. I've never had reason to do so. I think jumping timelines too drastically would probably be extremely disorienting, to say the least.
