Question
Sorry for being unclear, in my previous question

When I say never regret, it is in refrence to: do not regret the time we have had with those who have passed away. (Of course we are sad ect that they have passed, but we should also not regret the time we did share) I hope that makes more sense?!

I didnt not think Numquam oblivisci, numquam paenitentia, was correct, internet translastins for you!!

Thankyou for translating never forget "Umquam oblivisci noli"

Thankyou for answering these questions and taking the time to help me and others, it is really amazing!!!

Answer
Hello again,

“Umquam oblivisci noli, umquam desiderare noli” can  mean “Never forget, never regret”  also  in the sense that you  do not regret the time you have had with those who have passed away, although you  are sad about their death.
Therefore you can use this Latin phrase also in the sense you have clarified.

Best regards,
Maria
