later years
Autumn of existence
Later years refers to the final portion of someone's life or career, typically old age or the period approaching it.
The phrase often frames reflection or change: In his later years, he grew more reclusive.
It can also describe the concluding phase of any extended period: the later years of the Roman Empire.
