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.

7 but my Mum was 44 when she had me. I'm now 48 and Mum is 92

I'm 43 and my mum's mum is alive and well aged 90. I lost my last great grandmother when I was 20 and she was 94. On my mum's side I'm the eldest child of an eldest child of an eldest child of an eldest child, so we have our older relatives for longer than youngest children of youngest children (etc) or those who had older parents for that matter. I lost my great great aunt last year, aged 105.

Lost first at 5, then 19, 28 and 37

I'm 40 and thinking it might be in the next week or so :(

My teen DCs only have 2 left aged 70 and 80.

30! I was very close to my grandparents on my mums side and it breaks my heart that my kids will never know them and the love and fun we had at their house.

All died before I was born.

13 The other 3 all died before I was born. I don't know any of my contemporaries whose grandparents were living by the time they hit their early 20s.

I feel very lucky that my children will remember playing football and going on holidays with their great grandads as well as spending lots of time with an honorary great grandma (my cousins' other grandma who we saw often). I'm even luckier that their own grandparents are young and fit and my oldest is almost 13.

I lost my first at 3 but then had the other 3 until I was 35. I'm now 36 and have 2. I think I'm very lucky. DH lost his last at 36. A friend still has one at 38. I don't think I know anyone over 40 with any.

About 12 sadly. Luckily, at 46, I still have one parent left.

All 4 of my grandparents were fit and healthy when I was 30 and they were all delighted to meet their great-granddaughters. When I was between the ages of 31-35 they all passed away, with about 1 year gap between each. Everyone one of my parents generation was living abroad and the tooing and froing between bereaved grandparents at different ends of the country while I had young children of my own really took its toil. I still miss them all dearly now.

43

3 days ago aged 40

I was 22 when my Nan died. Luckily she had met my now husband but she never got to meet my children who i know she would have adored. I lived with her when little and spent a lot of time with her. Miss her loads.

I was about 20. This was thirty years ago. One died before I was born and the other two when I was primary age. My eight year old has three still living.

1. 2 died before I was born. My mum and dad both died in 2017. I was 33. Feels far too young to have no immediate family at all.

I am 43 and still have a grandmother in my biological fathers side the grandfather died when I was 15 ,my grandad (mums dad) died before I was born my nannan died when I was 5 I only met my first stepdad parents a couple of times but know they are both dead and my second stepdad parents are both dead

52- six weeks after I lost my mum. 2018 was a horrible year for me.

17. Both parents dads died when they were young. One Grandma died when I was 13 and she was about 85. The other was 70. I used to feel sad that my grandma died young at 70. But I’ve just lost my cousin who was 33 and that’s more heartbreaking. They’ve yet to live their lives and have children. I also got to remember many people have parents who have died when they’re only kids. So there’s nothing to be jealous of.

44 - this year, he was over 100 and I was very lucky.

13. My mum’s parents died when she was a teenager. My paternal grandparents died when I was young.

Both my parents died before my son was born. His paternal grandparents are still alive.

I have 6 due to divorces etc. 2 have passed away. I am 31. 2 are in bad health (in mid to late 80s) but 2 are only in their early 70s so hoping for at least another decade of them being around :)

one GFather I never knew, other died when I was 1. One Another died when I was 25 and the other when I was 35. My kids are 17,15,13 and still have all 4.
