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.

Had a great-grandma until 22 (91)
Lost my first biological grandparent at 33 (so my children had a full set of maternal great grandparents)
3 out of 4 still going in their 80s.

My grandparents are younger than my MiL!

My last surviving grandparent died aged 95 when I was 25. The generations are quite widely-spaced in my family.

My grandfather died when I was 5 but he was 89 years old, his wife, my Nan, died when I was 14, she was 73 so too young really!
My grandparents on my mothers side are still here, they are both 80 now and I’m 32, my Nan remarried so I also have my step grandad and he is in his 70s.
I’m always really sad that my children never got to meet my dads parents

I’m 31. My paternal grandad died in 1998, when I was 8. My maternal grandad died in 2018, just before I turned 28.

My paternal granny is 85 and is deteriorating quite quickly with dementia. My maternal granny is 88, shares a flat with my uncle and is cognitively sharp but her body is letting her down in a big way. I absolutely adore her and will be devastated when she dies

I'm 34 and have two grans still alive. One in her early 80s and the other is nearly 90 😊. Both my grandads died when I was late teens/early twenties.

I’m 41. I only have one Grandparent left. My Maternal GF died when I was 8. My Paternal GPs both died in my 20s and my Maternal GM is 93.

I'm 37 and my grandma is 90 years old.

I am 39 and have one living grandparent - she is 94 and has dementia. She has outlived my dad (her son) who aged 66. One grandparent died before I was born, one when I was 15 and one when I was 20 - both were in their mid 80’s.

Both grandads died before I was born. One Grandma died a couple of years ago. The last one is still going.

I'm mid-30's.

My grandads died when I was 11 and 22. Last month I lost my beloved 92 year old grandma. My other grandma who is 96 is the last one I have left. I am very nearly 40.

In have one left, she is 95 and I am almost 44.
DH lost his last one, last year. He was 46 and she was 98.

I'm 27, My mums dad died 4 years before I was born, my dads dad died when I was 21, and I still have two grandmas, one is 86 and one is 92. They have both suffered quiet badly from the covid isolation though :( both became depressed last year and have really gone down hill :(

@EarlyCalenderCh0c0

I see that someone on this thread has a relative of 108 ! Which could potentially lead to 5 generations being alive at once.

I was early 30s when my last GP passed away in their early 90s
I knew all 4 GPs

Until my grandmother died a couple of years ago we'd had 5 generations for a couple of years. She was in her 90s and had 4 children, 9 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

19, 35, 37, 37 respectively.

DD was 7 when her final 2 DGGPs died. But only 8 when her first DGP died (the other 3 are all still with us).

(DH was 29 when his final 2 DGPs died, within 3 months of each other (spouses), he was roughly 23 when the previous one died, and I think 2 when his first died).

I was 3, 18, 20 and 25/26 I think when my grandparents died. DH lost his last two grandparents in his mid-40s.

I’m always amazed when I hear of people in their 30s and 40s with grandparents alive, let alone 60s! All my grandparents (and a parent) died before I reached adulthood. My grandparents were in their 80s and 90 when they died and I was aged between 4 and 17.

My own children - who are very young - only have two grandparents who are still alive and both have had health problems despite just being in their 60s, so it’s hard to imagine them alive in 18 years when my eldest turns 20.

I’m in my 30s and still have 2 grandparents.

I lost one when I was 21 then just lost one at 36 she was 92 and still have two left that will be 90 next year.

My last grandparent died when i was 25. I was the youngest grandchild on that side though.

I’m 35. They’re 76 and 78 (paternal side).

I was 24 and 28 when my Great Grandmothers died (both paternal side).

Bonus of my Grandmother having a shotgun wedding at 16

I'm 41 and my grandmother is still alive. She is 96.

Im 42 and my grandma is alive and 85. Still drives, goes to the gym and works part time, very active. She was 18 when she married and had my DM. I lost one grandparent at 16, one at 25 and one at 30.

My DH never met 3 grandparents, all died before he was born (in their 50s and 60s) and the remaining one died when he was around 7.

I was 4,8,16 and 24.

My family tends to have children later in life so I had a grandfather born in 1879 and a grandmother born in 1891.
My grandfather, father and son were all born in different centuries.

That's amazing @Airfixkitwidow

I was 31 when I lost my maternal grandmother , she was 90. I was quite close to her.

Lost maternal grandad and paternal grandma in my teens and I don't remember my paternal grandad who died when I was a toddler, although I've seen a picture of him holding me as a baby.

My maternal grandparents lived fairly close to us so we saw them every week, dad's family were quite a drive away, especially with fewer motorways in the 1970s so we only visited a couple of times a year . I think dad may have gone more often by himself .
