Then there's the first six months of caring for a newborn, which is intense.

We have 7 month old Twins. Intense is a good word, the last 7 months have been the hardest of my life so far, and I am hitting on 40. That said, it's far from trauma, as far as I understand the term.

Also, my father and by brother died 10 and 5 years ago, both before they were old aged. I am well aware of the concept of moratility, even of my wife's and children's mortality. It doesn't weigh on me personally, honestly. It's just a reality that one has to accept, as there is nothing that can be done about it.
