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.

maternal grandparents died before I was born
paternal grandad died aged 83 when I was 33
nan died aged 101 I was 53

I was in my mid 30s when I lost my first grandparent. I still have one left and I'm 49. She's in her early 90s. My great grandmother made it to 99 so there's definitely longevity in my genes!

I have a grandparent and I am 40, they are 82. Me, my dm and my GPs had kids young. We are NC so I haven't seen them in years. My eldest is 19 so they have been a great GP since age 63. My other GPs were very dear to me, they lived to see their grandchildren grow up and my grandad met 3 of his GC before he passed.

Multigenerational families are rapidly becoming a thing of the past as young adults choose to have kids later, or not at all

I lost my first grandparent at 4 (he was 59) and the last at 30 (she was 91). DH lost his last the same year and he was 34. For the ones in between I was 11 and early 20s. We saw my dad's parents for Sunday tea every 2 weeks and I used to stay occasionally. My mum's parents were several hours away. So I didn't have a feeling of being around older people much either.

My nephew was 2 when my Dad died (at 71) and he doesn't really remember him. My brother (his Dad) is much younger than me which I guess is a factor, though 71 is not a great age these days.

Seems there are some others here with losses at a wide range of ages too. And some younger family members just lost their last grandparent (not my side) in their early 30s and the first before they were born.

I was 38 when my grandma died. My mum (her daughter) died six months later.

It still feels very strange to suddenly not have any generations above me after having two for so long.

I'm 45 and have one grandparent living (aged 89). First died when I was a baby, 2nd when I was 10 and 3rd when I was 20.

I’m 48 and my gran is 94. I’m very lucky to have had her in my life for so long. Her parents (my great-grandparents) died when I was 10, aged 91 and 92.

My other three grandparents died when I was 1, 8 and before I was born.

Paternal Grandparents died long before I was born. Maternal Grandad died when I was a toddler and Grandma when I was 14

I'm nearly 25
My maternal grandmother is in her 60s my grandfather passed when I was 14
My paternal grandparents are both in their 60s
And my great nanny on my mums side is now in her 90s ❤️

I'm 31 - granny is 67

I’m 31 and have 2 grandparents left, one on each side. I didn’t lose a grandparent until I was 27 but I did lose two within 4 months of each other.

When I was born I had 5 great grandparents. One died shortly after I was born, two died when I was around 5/6, one died when I was 12 and the other when I was 15.

I’m 42 and my nan is 85 - I’m fast approaching the age she was when I was born!

I’m 34 nearly 35 and have two still alive on my dads side, but I haven’t heard from them since my dad passed when I was a teen, though. Weird bunch.

The two good ones on my mums side are both gone. My lovely Nan when I was 22 and my grandad a couple of years ago.

I only meet 3 of my grand parents ,they all died in their 80s when I was 6, 8 and 9. My father died when I was 41 and my mother when I was 49.

30 with one gran left. She doesn't know me though - Alzheimer's

I lost my last grand parent when I was 48.

I lost my granddads before I was born sadly. My dads mum I was 18/19 and my mums mum I was 25 and it was the worst day of my life.

One of my Grandfathers died in WWII, my Grandmother his wife lived till I was 13. I never met my other Grandparents as they lived overseas but my other grandmother lived till she was close to 100, I would have been mid thirties by then.

I was very lucky to have all four until well unto my 20s. My one grandfather died when I was 25, the other at 30, and one of my grandmother’s when I was 33. My maternal grandmother is still alive and well at 86.

What I found fascinating is that when my cousin’s eldest daughter was born (12 years ago) she had all 8 great-grandparents alive. Mine were long dead when I was born.

I'm 37. My grandmother died last year and she was 101. My other grandmother is 98. Both grandfathers died around their 80s.

One grandparent left she's 88 I'm 29 the others died when I was early teens. My mum died at 63

I'm 42. Two grandparents still living, one from each side. The other two lived well into my adulthood (mid thirties). I only vaguely remember two of my great-grandparents and didn't see them all that often. The last of the great-grands died when I was around 10 years old.

My parents had me when they were quite young, and I feel very lucky to have had all four of them through so much of my life. The two who have passed away both lived into their 70s.

I am 38 and my nan is 90.

I'm 30. I have I still have both grandmothers (81 and 85), a grandfather (88), and a great aunt who has effectively acted as a grandparent to me (85). All except my grandfather are in relatively good health.

I'm 39 and both of my grandmothers are still alive (*knocks wood). One is 89 years old and the other is 99 years old. DH (39) also has a grandparent who is still alive - his grandmother is turning 100 in 2 months.

My grandfathers died when I was 11 (he was only 60) and when I was 23 (he was 82). DH lost his grandparents at 6, 10 and 16.
