If we did somehow acquire the ability to visit the other timeline, it wouldn't matter if our other self is alive, dead, or anything inbetween because we aren't them. We'd be a different "instance" of the same base person, but not exactly the same or from the equivalent point in time.

Alternately, if you're arguing from the assumption that "we can't get to the bad future because we're not on the right track for it", that's true... but it's just as true for G'raha. His younger self hails from the other timeline originally but his actions have sent him onto the same "other track" that we are on as well, so that origin doesn't give him any advantage now.
We can't perceive a present in which "we" do not exist; ergo any time traveling to the future will necessarily branch off from the present in which "we" do exist. Considering that, we can't visit the Bad Future without some... shenanigans. He does exist in the Bad Future so G'raha can in theory, but even if the conditions were right our limited ability to perceive time makes this prohibitively difficult if not impossible.
