How old were you when you lost your last grandparent?

[cinderellaaaa]

I have no grandparents left, my last died when I was 27. Yet I know someone who is almost 30 and has all of her grandparents still living. Can't help but feel a little jealous.

29. I miss them dearly and wish they could have met my children.

I was 17. Lost my mum a year later, and my dad four years later.

I'm 29, I have one left, 2 years ago I had 4 😭

21 I lost my last grandparent. Now in my 30s. My dh is 36 and has a grandad left.hes in his 80s. His grandparents were only 18 when they had his mum.

36. Had all four until I was 21. Very, very lucky.

I was 35. Two died before I was born though.

41

10. I have a friend who is 53 and still has her nan who is 98.

13, my Mother was no spring chicken when she had me.

I was 8. Other 3 were dead before I was born

I never knew 2 to start with as they died young. 1 died when I was 8 so I had a very strong attachment to my remaining Grandma and miss her terribly. She was my best friend.

I was nearly 40. My mum was 20 when I was born. My husband was in his 40s - two of his grandparents lived until their v late nineties.

26. Two dies several decades before I was born, one when I was 6.

Lost my last when around 18 - younger child of youngest/younger child parents, so many cousins in family were into late 20s/30s. Really wish I had had them longer and closer (different continent).

31. Feels really young.

42. Never knew one, last one died 4 years ago.

I'm 41 and still have one grandparent alive. She is frail now though. 😔

44 and 40 when I lost my grandparents - a lot younger when my dads parents died (never met one of them as he died early). My dad died when I was a child though so my grandparents were very much in his role.

None... only 1 left when my mum n dad got married.. she died before I was born- big families on both sides tho my mum was youngest of 10! So lots of aunties n uncles....

I'm 36 and have one left; DH is 35 and has two. None of mine died until I was mid-twenties for which I am very grateful.

I was four.

Two had died before I was born and I have very hazy memories of the other two who both died when I was four

35, 2018. First was when I was 18. I knew 2 great-grandparents.

One on my Mum’s side had already died before I was born. The second on that side died when I was six months old, which must have been such a tough time for my Mum.
On my Dad’s side one died when I was 10, and the other when I was 28. It used to make me feel a bit sad.

Tbh I’d lost both my parents and a teenage cousin by the time I was 20, yes losing a grandparent is sad but I was probably a bit hardened to death by that point. It wasn’t tragic to me
