I believe the answer is:

reincarnation

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a new start' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'in life?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reincarnation that I've seen before include "Rebirth (of a soul)" , "revised version" , "Rebirth in a new body" , "getting new body" , "Soul's rebirth in another body" .)
