memories they recall and share. Her work investigates ways that memories influence health and wellbeing outcomes in late life and following serious illness onset, including health care decision-making, caregiving resilience, grief adjustment, and personal
growth.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%" id="_idgpn_451">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Many normative, yet challenging life experiences in older adulthood can disrupt personal goals or routines and harm health and well-being. We argue that these challenging life experiences also offer unique opportunities
for positive psychological development. Guided by a life story framework (McAdams, 2001), our programs of research highlight use of personal memories as pathways to positive psychological development which may manifest from challenging experiences in late
life. As such, this workshop will first provide an overview of the life story framework and review well-documented psychological uses of autobiographical memories. We will describe the importance of use of personal memories for psychological adaptation in
older adulthood. We will then present recent results from our research (spanning a variety of challenging experiences in late life) which demonstrate the role of life story in a) coping with life challenges, b) resilience in the face of life challenges and
c) rich psychological development derived from life challenges. Findings will be presented in tandem with rich narrative exemplars. The workshop will conclude with a networking-style opportunity for participants to delineate ways to adopt the life story framework
to address their own late-life coping and resilience research questions. </span>
