I would say through points, and along a path. Trajectory sounds too technical, so for life events path is a better word.

We usually enhance the path between points
"Traverse" can be used to indicate traveling over or through something, usually over a type of terrain. It can, however, be used to describe a path.
Traversing from A through B to C
• Traversing between the three points.
• Traveling between the three points.
There are many concepts rooted in "transit" such as transgression (religion and law) and transition (a favourite in engineering and computing)
Odd note:- in religion the Latin Transitus means the passage from death to life
However for life we often substitute journey for path
The journey from birth through parenthood to death can be an enriching
one.
A common term used in GIS / Mapping for the path between temporal events is "track" So in this case we could say
Tracking from A through B to C
However in temporal logic "transition path" is favoured.
Many disciplines use a jargon specific format.
For all round use it is probably best to use "path" with a description as in
Along the temporal events path.
Along the path of temporal events.
The path through temporal events.
