Siblings in Late Life

Captions available

The idea

Sibling contact falls in early adulthood and holds steady, then around seventy siblings help each other more, sometimes becoming kinkeepers after parents die.

In practice

Two sisters in their seventies calling daily and driving each other to appointments.

Where people slip

Sibling conflict tends to fall with age, though strained pairs may drift further apart.
