But it's not the same. If your say mother died and they clouded her and managed to get all her memories in there would you feel she was your mother?

I think at a point you become familiar enough with the illusion of fiction that it doesn't matter. Character dies, character comes back: it's just the resurrection trope. They couldn't resurrect themselves because they're not a Messianic figure, and the setting doesn't allow for necromancy, so they went with an alternate universe copy. In three episodes it won't matter if they're "the same one" anymore, because that was never the point.
