silver years
Life's final chapter
Silver years refers to the later stage of life, typically retirement age and beyond, when hair has turned gray or white.
The term casts aging in a warm light, emphasizing dignity and leisure rather than decline: They're enjoying their silver years traveling the world.
Similar to golden years, though perhaps suggesting a slightly more advanced age.
