For those of you who still have grandparents alive! How old are you?

[Justsotirednow]

Or how old were you when they passed?

I was 16 when my granparents from mom’s side died.

And somewhere in my 20’s when from dad’s side passed.
Although we weren’t in touch at all, not sure why.

I don’t know why I ask, I guess I just realised that I wasn’t around older generation much.

My grandmothers died when I was 13 and 18. Grandads well before I was born.

DH only lost his grandmother at the age of 46 though. She was 95 I believe.

I lost my great grandmother last year.

Both grandmothers still going strong.

No biological grandfather's left.

34

I'm 30 and have two living grandparents, both on the same side of the family and in their late 80s. In very good health overall, though becoming more frail recently. They have three great grandchildren and I hope one day they'll meet a child of my own too. Whatever happens, I consider myself very lucky.

On the other side, one grandparent died young, nearly a decade before I was born. The other passed when I was 16, at the age of 75 and after longstanding ill-health. I remember her very fondly

My grandparents died when I was 28, 34, 36 and 38.
DH is 42 and he still has 3 living grandparents, they are all in their early 90s.

Last one died in 2014 when I was 39 and he was 92.

Although I do have a “step Nan” that’s still alive as my maternal grandmother died before my mum was an adult and my grandad remarried.

But tbh she doesn’t really bother with her “step” grandchildren even though she’s been there from when we were all born. She’s made her feelings perfectly clear, that we aren’t as important as her “bio” grandchildren.

So for that reason there are a few us that don’t have anything much to do with her. I haven’t seen or spoken to her for 7 years.

I sadly don't have any grandparents now, but did until last year. My final 3 grandparents died within 12 months of one another, the last one dying in summer 2020.

I was about 16/17 when my paternal grandad died.
I was 46y when my maternal grandad (aged 89y, almost 90y) died.
I was 47y when both my grandmas (both aged 91y) died last year.

My last great grandparent died when I was about 15y iirr.

I'm 40 and have 2 of 4 left (one on each side of the family). One at 96 and the other mid 80s.

33 my nana, mothers mother is still alive. My grandad dies three years ago. Not sure about my dads parents they are NC with us.

My maternal grandfather died when I was 1, maternal grandmother still alive and in her 80s. My paternal grandparents are both still alive and in their 80s.
I’m mid 30s.

I'm 36. Mum's parents are both still alive and Dad's mum died when I was 27. My Dad's dad died a few years before I was born.

My exH is 54 with a living grandmother! She is a bit of a legend. 102 I think.

Both my maternal grandparents died before I was born. My (paternal) grandma died when I was 20 and grandpa when I was 24.

DH's last grandparent died two years ago, aged 96, when DH was 35.

I'm 30 with 3 remaining grandparents.

70,73 and 88! My nan on my paternal side died when he was 14.

I’m 43 and my maternal grandparents are still alive, aged 88 and 91.

My paternal grandparents were a generation older because they had my dad relatively late in life - they died when I was 16 (grandfather) and 19 (grandmother).

Two of my maternal great grandparents were around for a good chunk of my childhood too - they died when I was 13 and 14 respectively, both in their 90s.

I'm 36. All four grandparents thankfully still alive (all in their late 80s and early 90s). Hoping this bodes well for me in the future!

My last grandparent died when I was in my mid 30s. I was lucky to have three grandparents until my mid 20s. They all lived until their mid 90s. The first died when I was 16 when he was in his early 80s.

In contrast, my children who are in their early 20s don't have any grandparents. The last one died last year at 94. The youngest died in his late 70s and the other two in their 80s).

26. 3/4 alive

My great grandmother was with us until I was 22! I was so very lucky, we had a very close bond.
My nan is still going strong, aged 72. I'm 30.
My mum, nan and grandmother all had their child aged around 17-20.

These are all on my mums side. Unfortunately I've never met my father or his side of the family due to his choice.

Mine died when I was 10, 13, 21 and 28.

When I was 28 and my nan died she was 90.

I'm 45 with one remaining grandparent (maternal Gm)..

She is 86

Mine died when I was 24, 26, 30 & 33. I knew 3 of my great grandparents thought the last of which died when I was 21.

I'm 34 in a couple of weeks and have all 4 grandparents and remember 2 great grandads ❤️

43 3 still alive. I lost last surviving great grandparent when was I was 16.
My husband though sadly had no surviving grandparents when he was around 10.
My Nan is now a Great-Great Grandma!
