Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Your grandparents are engaging in a life review, which is a process described by Butler in which people reflect on and evaluate their life experiences, achievements and failures, and its meaning and significance. This process often occurs in late adulthood as people approach the end of their lives and seek to make sense of their past and reconcile with unresolved issues or regrets. Reminiscing and story-telling may be part of this process, but they do not capture the reflective and evaluative dimensions of a life review. Reconstructing their life-history is a vague or uncommon term that is not specifically related to Butler's theory.
