My own experience suggests not.  Most recently dead people I have
met or observed seem to be engaged in 1) an experience of joy and
release and/or 2) the beginning of a process of induction/education into
the "upper school" so to speak.  With children it seems to be only 2)
which supports the idea that they may be being prepared for
reincarnation in order to complete an unfinished life - but this last part is
only speculation.

Nothing mushy.
