How to keep the boys playing?

Hello everyone.

Me with 3 other friends , all with babies , started playing valheim when it came out in early access and reached up to yadluth.
At that time I was the only one without a baby , our country was in lockdown so i used to play a lot more than them. So basically I was making everything (building, exploring, mining crafting etc) alone, while they login mostly at weekends to have some fun mostly killing things.
After H&H we started a fresh world.
I decided to be a watcher this time, I mostly built and I fight with my axe. BUT…
It is much more difficult for them to progress now.
The most frustrating thing is when they die. They think that it is devastating and trying to retrieve their body is hard af and needs too much time.

I am trying to convince them otherwise. Imo I think they should be strategizing every move better.
But how I can make them be less frustrated from dying?
Any opinions would be much appreciated!
