sunset years
Life's closing phase
Sunset years refers to the final stage of life, typically old age or retirement.
The metaphor casts life as a day, with its end approaching as light fades: They spent their sunset years traveling the world.
The phrase carries a gentle, sometimes sentimental tone, emphasizing peace or reflection rather than decline.
