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.

About 6-8 I think, I've very little memory left of her, my Grannie . I never knew her husband nor my other set of grandparents they died before I was born.

Should of said my husband is 42 and his granddad is still alive.

22. I feel as though the only person who doesn't still have grandparents about!

I was 35 when last GP ,my nan, died, was only really close to my grandma who died when I was 21. Grandads died: one before I was born, one when I was 5 and step grandad when I was 23

I was 8 when my last grandparent died. I never met my mum's parents.

My mum died when I was 4 and my dad when I was 22. Just me and my sister left. Luckily we had a wonderful auntie and a close network of family friends.

26 - I actually lost all three of the ones I ever had (mum's dad died before I was born) in a year.

DH had two grandparents when he was born and now still has one, at 35 - his grandmother is 103!!! We recently realised the pretty tragic fact that she's now been a widow for twice as long as she was married for.

I had my great grandmother alive til I was in my late 20s and still have 3 of my grandparents alive (I’m now 40yrs old). My husband is the same age and lost all his by the age of 30yrs.

I was 18. She was the only grandparent I had. All my others died before I was born...
I think about her often.

I'm 40, and have 3 grandparents alive (aged 90, 86 and 80). I didn't lose my Gran who died until I was 37.

I consider myself really lucky and know that it's quite unusual.

I lost my maternal grandmother at 25. My dad’s mother died when I was 15. My mother’s father died when she was a baby and my Dad's father died when he was 8.

My nan died 3 years ago when I was 52.

Paternal grandfather died before I was born.
Both grandmothers died when I was 6
Maternal grandfather died when I was 8

I was 7 years old when my last grandparent died and I have always yearned for people from an older generation in my life, I think they can teach us a lot

I was 45 when my grandmother died. She was 99. I adored her and miss her still, she was an exceptionally kind and loving woman. I'm very thankful that my DDs met her and will remember her.

21

I'm 36 and one still alive. All alive well into my 20s.

7, 12, 24, 26.

I was 23 - my maternal grandparents died within 3 weeks of each other, in their 80s.

DH is 40 and still has one grandmother - aged 108 and 10 months!

I'm 44 and I still have two grandparents left. They're 94.

I’m 35 and still have all of my grandparents.

21 when last grandparent died. Now 29, lost my dad when I was 27.

I was 40, and she died on my 20th wedding anniversary. It's a bittersweet day now.

Dh was mid 40s when his last grandparent died, and she was late 90s.

I lost my paternal grandparents when I was 25. They were both in their late 60s and died within six months of each other.

My maternal grandmother was 88 when she died and I was 42. And it destroyed me as I adored her. My paternal grandfather died just over a year later when I was 43 and he was just short of 98.
