There are so many individual variables at play such as the exact life situation I was in at that point of time (let's say for ease of the theoretical that it's identical to my real one - in other words, where I was living, was I working or going to school and if so where, etc.), their exact life situation now, our life situations jointly/collectively at the moment just right before their untimely death, and specifics unique to them of their personality and life background/history, including their history and time with me.
One thing that I can with absolute certainty is that I wouldn't tell the truth and expect to be believed - at least not by anyone in my current life or in my life up to now who I can think of. Even those immediate family members and few close friends I've had over the years who I place a certain degree of trust and respect in, I still wouldn't expect them to believe a metaphysical miracle and anomaly with no actual solid factual physical proof which could be demonstrated. And I wouldn't mind not telling them anyway as my relationships with others have always been very one on one, so I'd rather it be a secret connecting us across spacetime and the boundaries of mortality itself in our own private world.
Most likely I would continue the same relationship though. I know that I would if I were in the character Keisuke's position in the actual show, with Takae/Marika. For instance, I refer to that character (their wife who died once) usually by both names when discussing the series on this sub-forum for the sake of accuracy and to leave no uncertainty, that I'm referring to the older consciousness of Takae in a new person's, Marika's, body. But if I were actually in the show as Keisuke I would definitely just refer to them by their original name of Takae, the name that I knew them and referred to them by for the duration of all of our lives together prior to their demise. And refer to them as either Takae or "mom" if I were Mai.
Resuming lovers' status immediately (if we're talking about Keisuke & Takae/Marika, or about myself if I were Keisuke) might be complicated or a little too uncomfortable and dangerous (entirely for them) for health reasons due to the biology and physics of their new age and size, but in a few years from now, surely. If it could be resumed even sooner or immediately safely enough, then that'd be fine too. In the real world, it's unlikely that I'd be in this type of relationship to begin with though, due to aromanticism.
