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.

I first lost a grandparent at 28, and again at 32. I'm now mid-30s and still have one grandparent on each side of the family, each in their 90s.

DH's last surviving grandparent died when he was 23 (she was 100) but his three other grandparents died before he was born.

I’m 56 and my grandmother is 98. She has 11 children, 52 grandchildren 20 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren. And when I spoke to her last week she said she had shopped for the old woman down the road. The old woman is 67

My friend still has all her grandparents and her husband still has a grandma and he is 57. I lost all mine well before I was 20, same for DH.

I'm 40 and I have two grandparents still alive, 92 and 86. I had my great-granny until I was 29 too. She met eight of her great-great grandchildren!

I'm 30 and sadly just have one Grandma left who's 84.
Maternal grandfather died suddenly of a heart attack in early 70s, paternal grandfather the same cause of death but only in late 50s.
Maternal grandmother passed away 7 years ago at 83 of a brain hemorrhage.
I never knew my Dad's Dad sadly as he passed away the year before I was born, but I miss my Mum's set of parents a lot. All the deaths were sudden, at least they didn't suffer from a terminal illness I tell myself.

I'm 37:

Maternal Grandma - Still alive (89)
Maternal Grandad - Died aged 76ish when I was 20

Paternal Grandma - Still alive (98)
Paternal Grandad - Died aged 65ish, before I was born

I'm 34 and have one grandmother.

Both grandads died before I was born. Paternal grandma, when I was 9. And maternal when I was 16.

I'm 40 and I have two remaining grandparents. My great grandmothers died when I was 16 and 21. My paternal and maternal grandfathers died when I was 15 and 26 respectively.

My grandmothers are 86 and 81.

My maternal grandmother died at 98 when i was 38. Mum had already died 4 years previously. She was a trooper. Lost a lot if kids in adulthood. Scared of nothing, had a hard life. We complain, but we have lots compared to what they had back in the day.

If i have an ounce of what she had, ill be fine!

These threads always make me a bit weepy. All my grandparents died before I was born. They weren't very old.

I didn't really miss them when I was younger but I do now. My parents are still alive and my DC's relationship with them is so precious.

I was 18 and 28 when maternal GPs died. My paternal GPs are still ticking along- I'm 38.

I’m early 30s and still have all 4 of my grandparents - all early to mid 80s. I had three great grandparents in my teens, my last remaining one died when I was 25.

My parents have done a lot of work on our family tree and there are so many of my ancestors who lived into their 80s or 90s, I think there must be something in the genes

I come from a family with younger births. I lost great grandparents in my teens and 20s. I’m in my 40s now with two grandparents left, the other two I lost in my late 30s.

I’m 48, my grandad is 93.

krouse bloody hell ! Amazing. And so many pps with amazing and/or much missed Grampys and grandmas (or whatever we all call/ed them). Moving !

37 and only have one left, and she's my mum's step mother, so would've been a very young mum if not! She's 79 my DM is 61, but was married to my grandfather long before I was born and we're very close. I lost my last biological grandparent this year, my grandfather who was 89. I lost my paternal grandparents when I was 2 and 13 and my maternal grandmother when I was 31. My DF is older than my DM.

I'm 54. My grandparents died in 1946, 1953, 1999 and 2000

@Airfixkitwidow

I'm 64, my mum is 87 and my grandma is 108. All three of us still well and healthy.

Grandma has 4 great great grandchildren.

Wow! I thought I was doing well to have two grandparents and I'm 36

My grandfather died in 1926, which was nearly 30 years before I was born! Granny died in 1949, so I never met either of them.
Both my paternal grandparents died before I was 16, back in the early 1970s.

I'm 42 both grandmothers alive, but neither has bothered with me or my siblings

42. All my grandparents were alive till 3 years ago. Both my grandads have passed since.

I'm 30 and have 1 grandparent left. She's 87. Her late husband, my grandfather, died 34 years ago so I never met him. My dad's parents died when I was 21 and 27.

DH is 31 and has 1 grandmother left too, she's about to turn 93.

14, 17, 23 & 38

I am 42 and both my grandmothers are still alive. They will both turn 100 next year. 1 is still really well and lived independently up until a couple of years ago, the other has lived in a (perfectly nice) home for years but to be honest I think she’s barely existing and that’s been the case for a while now.
