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.

Just to add, im in my mid 40s and if my paternal grandparents were still alive now they would both be 112 they were older parents.

Grandmother died when I was 14, Grandfather died when I was 19
never met grandparents on Dads side as they died before I was born

46 with one surviving grandparent

One grandparent died before I was born, and the others when I was 15,24,26. My nanny (dad's mum) died 14 days before our wedding.
Thinking about this thread, I realise that my DCs grand parents died when the youngest was 6, 9, 12 and 18.

Wonderful.

I was 7, 8, 8, and 20 when my Grandparents died.
7 when the Great Grandparent I also had alive when I was a child, died.

That must have been a tough couple of years for my parents.

Paternal grandfather died when I was 4.
Maternal grandfather when I was 25.

Paternal grandmother died when I was 31.
Maternal grandmother is still alive and I'm 39.
One of my paternal great grannies lived until I was nearly 20.

Husband is 36 with no living grandparents; paternal grandparents both died when he was 13 and 14 and his maternal grandfather died before he was born. His maternal grandmother died when he was 31.

My still-living granny didn't lose her own maternal grandmother until she was in her mid-fifties the grandmother was almost 100.

I would say of friends my age I'm not uncommon to still have a Nan knocking about Grandads are less common at my age.

My grandparents died at the ages of 39, 59, 61. Shockingly young. The last one is in her 80s.

My paternal grandfather died 8 years before I was born and my maternal grandfather died when I was 3.

My paternal granny died when I was 13 and my maternal granny when I was 26.

DHs paternal grandparents are both alive and they are both 72. He's 35 so they were young grandparents. His great grandparents on that side have all died within the last 10 years.

I always tell my kids to appreciate their grandparents as they are lucky to have all four living and I obviously I loved my grandparents but I feel like I didn't appreciate them as much as I should have.

I was 11 when first GP passed (they were 61), next two died when I was 22 and 26(When they were 72 and 75). Granny got to 95 - I was 39 and she got to meet all her great grand children.

my own father died 12 years ago (at 61)and my FIL (69) 7 years ago. My mum is very healthy too as is my MiL. Unfortunately my father’s side of the family just don’t live that long - and I take after them.

I only know my mother’s side but was lucky enough that my great-great grandmother (my grandma’s grandmother!) was still alive when I was young, she actually died when I was 9 at the age of 97!

After that, one of my great-grandma (her daughter) died when I was 12 in her mid 70’s , the other one 2 years ago in her mid-80’s, my great-grandpa died 4 years ago (also mid-80’s) and the other one (my grandma’s dad) is still alive and in his late 80’s. My grandparents are still both alive, as well, my grandma being in her late 60´s and my grandpa 71.

Honestly refusing to imagine life without either of them. I am in my late 20’s and my grandma was 40 when I was born so definitely a second (if not first!) mother to me.

I am 39years old.
My grandparents are 88,89, 95 and 98years old.

I'm 32 with the last surviving grandparent, my maternal grandmother who will be 80 this year.

I’m 36 and have one grandma on my dad side who will be 90 this autumn, and on my mams side both grandma and grandad who are 83 and 85

My last surviving GP died when I was 44. She was 99 years old though - she died 3 months before her 100th birthday. I'd only ever met her twice (she lived abroad, and her marriage broke down when my mum was a child so I never knew my mum's dad he was long gone no one knew where he went or how long he lived). My GPs on my dad's side died when I was 15 and 26 (heart attacks for them sadly).

I'm 40 and have one gran left on my dad's side. She's 101! My gran on my mother's side died in 2019 at age 96 ish. Both my granddad's died before I was born.

I am 61. Never knew my paternal grandparents, they died before I was born. My maternal grandfather died when I was 7 and maternal grandmother when I was 16. Followed soon after by my father.

Only have mothers side of family. I met 3 great-grandparents who died when I was about 4, 13 and 21.
My grandparents are still going in their 80’s and I am late 30’s.

One grandmother died years before I was born. Grandfather's when I was 11 and 16. Other Nan when I was 24.
My youngest son had lost all his by age 13

One grandpa and one grandmother died before I was born.
I was 5 when my papa on my dad's side died, he was in his 60s at the time, and 22 when my granny on my mum's side died at 97 years old. I'm 30 now.

My partner is 28 and both of his maternal grandparents are still alive, they are 94 and 95.

All passed;
Maternal grandfather (67) - two years before I was born
Maternal grandmother (87)- when I was a bit short of 27
Paternal grandfather (60) - when I was 10
Paternal grandmother (76) - when I was 26. Both my grandmothers died six months apart.

I lost my last grandparent age 40. My husband is 45 and still had two alive in their 90s but both totally with it and still living independently at home. He's very lucky!

One surviving grandparent. I'm in my early forties.

Three of mine were gone before I was born, none made it to their 80s. I was 11 when my granny died suddenly - she was 77. My husband and I both lost our dads when we were kids. Thankfully both our mums are alive in their early 80s, in good health apart from some mobility issues, and going a bit deaf although neither will admit it 😆 We are hopeful our kids (9 and 11) will have their granny and grandma around for a good few years yet 🙏🏻

I lost 3 grandparents in the last 2 years. I am nearly 40. My grandparents eldest great grandchild (my niece) is 23 and engaged - another few years and they would have been great great grand parents!

I lived with my grandparents most of my childhood till I got married and it was the absolutely best thing ever. I felt I had multiple sets of very loving parents and till her death, my grandmother (84) was very much part of my life and my children's lives - she was very active, social and fun. Over 400 people attended her burial - she was very popular. Losing her has been brutal but at the same time I feel endlessly grateful I had her for so long.
