Welcome to the Mists HTSL. Losing members of ones family and friends is difficult. It takes time to process all of those emotions. Took me a few (maybe about 9 years) to come to terms with my own mothers death. Ironically when my dad passed, I could feel is presence all around so didn't really experience a sense of loss with his death as much as I did with my mother.
You're a young parent. Congratulations! Parenting is the most difficult and rewarding work one gets an opportunity to experience when they have little ones. There are so many things you can do with kids while experience the world through their young eyes. The time while they're little flies by. Spending as much time with your children as possible is a blessing. Reading books to them, playing games, tossing a ball, going for nature walks, cooking with them, doing art or projects with them, building forts, going on little adventures with them... we got rid of our TV when our daughter was 6. There was just too much negative violent programming that I didn't think any child should watch. From then on it was family oriented DVDs. Then there is music.. learning how to play an instrument or sports at school, attending games and cheering them on. Evenings of hot cocoa, popcorn and a family movie. We still do this years later. The list is endless of what you can do together.
Since out children our adult we now have a puppy, Jack. There is something special about being loved unconditionally when one has bonded with a puppy. They're a lot of work and a lot of fun.
One of the things I've enjoyed doing over the years is watch different peoples stories from their NDE. Each story is different and offers new things to think about. There are several members here who are well versed in the philosophical and others with a lot of life experience. I've always enjoyed learning about others spiritual journeys.
One theme that seems to repeatedly resurface with the NDE folks is how we make a contract prior to incarnating identifying those experiences we'd like to endure in order to spiritually grow. The operative world is endure. It seems that enduring hardships one has an opportunity to spiritually grow the quickest. Of course, whose to say that is the only path. But I do recall one woman during her NDE talking to Jesus on the other side asking why did you send me to that family? Why did I have to suffer? He said she asked for those particular experiences in her contract. She said, "I did?" And he kept reminding her that she had endured, which meant she had grown spiritually by undergoing what she set out for herself.
