Abstract
This chapter examines the emerging challenges and resilience of families in later life, grounded in a developmental family systems perspective. It examines salient issues with retirement and financial security; grandparenthood; caregiving with chronic illness; and end-of-life challenges and the loss of loved ones. Core principles in a family resilience framework are presented. Clinical guidelines and case illustrations are offered to address common challenges and to encourage the potential for personal and relational well-being and growth in intimate, companionate, and intergenerational bonds.
