That is...an interesting question. Do I miss being alive, in general? Certainly. I never wished to die. I was never suicidal. Nor do I believe that my interactions are any better, now that I am hampered by my incorporeal state. So if I had been able to go on living and do more good in the mortal world, I would have no complaints.

But it was not meant to be. It is something of a long story, but in short, had I lived, another would have died, someone who would change the course of history forever, someone who was not meant to rest yet. It was either her life or mine, and the choice was clear.
I wouldn't change that moment for anything in the world.
