What NDEs say
Children who die young continue to grow on the other side, reaching the age they would have been, while parents who cross over can also experience watching them grow through their milestones.
The question of whether a child remains frozen at the age they died carries a weight that only a parent who has lost can fully know. Sharon Milliman saw her two baby brothers during her NDE, but they weren't infants anymore. They had grown up, appearing in their late twenties or early thirties, the age they would have reached had they lived. 2 One was a year younger than her, the second two years younger, and there they were, rosy-cheeked and glowing, fully grown.
This pattern shows up consistently. Claudia Schäpper describes having contact with the child she lost and seeing how things continue on the other side. 1 Another account describes a specific place where babies and children are cared for by past loved ones, angels, and teachers, children of all different ages running and playing, tended to with deep love. 2 Everyone there appeared healthy and strong, no one hurt or crying, all of them glowing.
What this suggests is that your child isn't stuck in time. They continue, they grow, they become who they were meant to be. And if the accounts are right, there's also a space where parents who've crossed over can experience the milestones they thought they'd lost, watching their child grow up, graduate, reach each marker they ached to witness. [4] The love doesn't stop. Neither does the becoming.
