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.

30. I had 3 until I was 22 whereas DH only had one from a young age. Between us we lost the last 3 within a year and our youngest DS never met any great-grandparents 😥

40. My family live a long time.

DH didn't lose any of his grandparents until he was 35 and then lost one a year until he was 39. His family had children young so had his GPs lived as long as mine did they'd all still be alive.

My great grandparent is 95

I only ever had two. First one died in 2007. And the other died in 2016. I'm 35. Neither of them got to meet my children. It makes me quiet sad to be honest.

About 28 , my mum,s Dad died when she was 8 but she had a,step dad ,he married my Grandma just before I was born and was a,lovely man so I thought of him as Grandad I lost them all between 21_and 28 ,my Dads mum met her first Grat grand child( my nephew) just ,he was four months old when she died ,my boys only have my parents,as dh,mum died before we got married ,his dad lost touch with dh years ago ( no idea if he's still alive) and after a,family bereavement my dh step dad who my boys called Grandad has cut himself off from us .

I'm 32 and have 2 grandparents left. 85 and 80 in good health. I have no parents though, they both died young.

I was 35 when my Nan passed away.Still miss her even though that was quite a while ago now .I think they have a special place in our hearts .

38. Still have one (99). Had 3 until I was 30. There’s no way I will have such good longevity! Far too much 🍷 and 🍰 .

26. My other grandma died when I was 12, and both grandads long before I was born.

I was six. Two died long before I was born. My husband was in his 40s when he lost his last one though.

I was 28. My soon will be 15. His last remaining grandparent is very ill and only has a few weeks left of that

Son not s!!oon

Only knew 2 because 2 died long before I was born . My dads dad died when he was 2 .

I was 13.
My mums parents both passed before I was born
My paternal granddad passed sudenly when I was 7 and then my Grandma when I was 13.

My husband is 42 and still has a grandparent.

32. My nan was 98 when she died. And outlived my other grandparents by 31, 29 and 13 years.

She was awesome. But did spend her last few years in a home not really knowing what was going on bless her.

Never knew 2 of them. One died when I was 6 the other when I was 15.

I’m 36 and still have all of mine. My parents had me very young, though. I knew 2 of my great-grandfathers and 3 of my great-grannies. My grandparents are all late 70s/early 80s and one of them has had 2 health scares (cancer) in the last 4 years but has made it through chemotherapy and appears to be ok at the moment.

One GF died before I was born.
The great uncle who had the role of GF died when I was 10.
Both GM's when I was 14.
And the last GF a few months later.

I'm 40 and still have 2... they are 91, live together at home independently. They are my main concern in this corona outbreak

Two died before I was born (although I was a foetus for one of them!).
One when I was 7.
Last one (my maternal grandmother) when I was 25.

I never met my mums parents as they both passed before I was born. My grandad died when I was 8 and my Nan died on her 90th birthday last July, I was 33. I miss them both dearly, I'm very lucky that she met both my boys but it's still very fresh and I get upset just thinking about it.

32. Grandma was 92. DH was 40 when his Nan died at 91.

On the great-grandparent chat - my last one died when I was 30. She was 102. I have a photo of her with my baby DD, me, Dad and Grandpa.

13, shortly after my father died.
