Children may be orphaned when their parents are young also, and many of these children end up being raised by their grandparents -- quite well, I might add. My great-great-aunt lived to 108, surviving several octogenarian toyboys... I'm sure she only died because she'd finally managed to do it all.
If it happens naturally, who is to say it can't be done? Eleanor of Aquitaine was still bearing children well into her late forties/ early fifties, in a time when medical science was somewhat less advanced than it is today
Involving IVF and other techniques, though, that's getting a bit out of hand.
