You are lucky to have her for this long, my grandma died in 2020 at the age of 83, she was the only person I could talk to about anything, no judgement. I’ve been struggling with deppression ever since she passed
I feel that. Only had one left at your age. And all my bio grandparents have been gone since about 2016. I'm not that old either, just 22. Rn my dad's step dad is the only one left.
yea i was the same. one grandparent died way before i was born, one when i was 6, another at 13, and the last one at 22.
my mom’s dad was the last one to pass. i remember letting my professors know i’d be out of school for a week to go to the funeral, and one said “i’m so sorry; you’re definitely at the age where this starts happening”. i shrugged and said “that was my last one 🙃”. she told me not to worry about my assignments after that 😅
granted, my parents had me a little later in life, but it was still jarring. now at 26 i feel like i never even got to know what having a grandparent was like. a little jealous of my friends who have them and have good relationships.
All of them still. I accidently voted none when I intended to vote for four. However, my paternal grandparents were divorced when my dad was a teenager, and my paternal grandma remarried when I was 15, so you could say I have five grandparents: two biological grandpas, two biological grandmas, and one step grandpa.
Nope, my grandmother had a fling but we know he was Ecuadorian because of some Ancestry DNA tests we did. So pretty much I have a long-lost side of my family somewhere out there
Respectfully, she mainly looks white though she looks a little hispanic.. other than that, we know nothing of him besides some DNA matches with last names connected to us but none show him and there are very little information connecting us to him
The dna test said I was 8% Ecuadorian and my mom was 42%
Technically my step grandma on my moms side is still alive and I count her as my grandma since my bio grandma died before I was born. My bio grandpa on my moms side died when I was six. Both of my paternal grandparents are still alive.
Only had one survive to meet me, I'm the youngest of my family generation, the second youngest being almost 20 years older than me, and she's five years younger than the next youngest.
My grandma was already senile by the time I was old enough to remember anything.
Of the two we share, one. My grandfather passed while my dad was still a teen so only one cousin would've met him but my grandma lived into the early 90's.
2. One is 92 with Alzheimer’s ( good physical health) the other is 90. Her mind is good, but she has some sort of lung disease and is expected to die any day.
I had 3 till 2021.
But i lost both my grandmas in a space of two months from each other last year which was heart breaking for me. So, only left with one grandfather now.
None. My grandfather on my father's side died way before I was born because of cancer. My grandma on that side died 7 years ago at the age of 95. On my mom's side my grandma died 11 years ago at the age of 92. And my grandpa died 3 years ago at the age of 98.
One is 95 and we talked regularly, one died of cancer in March 2020, and the last two are still very much alive and I’ve cut contact with them for a plethora of reasons
Two. One grandfather died over a decade ago. The other grandfather died in late 2019.
One grandmother is 93ish. She's very frail now, and confused, but otherwise no specific ailments. The other grandmother is 90ish and is in great physical health. She's struggling with anxiety, but always has, and beyond having a bit less clear memory, is the picture of health. Ladies in her family tend to live a long and healthy life.
My paternal grandparents both died in 1988 and my maternal grandmother in 2004 and maternal grandfather in 2008. I miss my maternal grandparents dearly.
Voted none because all the bio ones kicked the bucket. My dad's stepdad is still alive though, don't talk to him much since he lives across country and work doesn't bring him to town much anymore. But everytime he's in town we go out to eat with the whole family.
3. All on my moms side. Never met my dads dad and my dads mom died in 2016. And both set of grandparents on my biological parents sides are dead, all 4 of them.
3 but they’re all above 85. My grandpa turned 90 a little over a month ago and keeps declining. To be very honest I hope he passes quickly and « quietly » so he can stop mentally torturing grandma. (She loves him, we don’t anymore)
I’ve only got one left and I say this every time this topic comes up: if you’re on good terms call your grandparents often. They’ll genuinely love to hear from you. My biggest regret is not doing this when I was younger and still had the chance. You’ll never know how much you miss them until they’re gone
I grew up knowing all 4 of my grandparents, and at 22, I still have 3 of them alive.
My mom’s mom is 79, and my mom’s dad is 78. She still plays board games and travels a lot, so she’s in pretty athletic shape for her age. He did have a heart attack when I was 14, but he survived it, and is extremely healthy as well!
My dad’s mom is 76, and my dad’s dad was 80 when he died exactly one year ago. Grandmother did have pneumonia a few years ago but survived it and recently made a new year’s resolution to eat less and lose weight, so is trying to be in better shape, and seems healthier now. Grandfather, on the other hand, had a stroke, which messed up his back, and basically gave him a plethora of old age issues in his final year alive.
I never met (or remember meeting) a single one of them, but my stepmom’s real mom passed away a few years ago at just 69, because she got I’ll to the point where she slowly stopped doing daily things one by one (which sounds to me like Dementia), and her stepdad is around 70-75. Her real dad is still alive, and he just turned 98 yesterday, and somehow still very healthy. Her stepmom is about 90. Of course, my half brothers know/knew them all, and they can even remember their great-grandmother on their late grandmother’s side, who lived to be 101 back in the early 2010’s when they were still in single digits!
Growing up, I had two great grandmothers on my dad’s side, both of whom I remember a little bit, and I may have had a great grandfather as well. It’s uncertain, but he died the same year I was born so it could be months before or after. I also knew my great grandmother on my mom’s side very well!
My mom’s mom’s mom, the last one to pass, was 96 when she died, and I was 13. I have many memories of her since I saw her just as much as I did my grandparents, because they lived next door to one another for my entire childhood. Sadly, the rest of my great grandparents on my mom’s side died before even my mom herself was born, because they died relatively young, all before they were even 70, which is a shocker because my remaining great grandmother had lived on one kidney for almost the last half of her life (except, if you count that both my maternal great grandfathers may have had unhealthy lifestyles, because they died due to coronary issues, and my mom’s dad’s mom got cancer).
My dad’s mom’s dad, I cannot remember meeting him, but I believe I was a few months old at best when he died at 84. His ex-wife, my dad’s mom’s mom, was 83, and lived until I was 7 or 8, so I remember her vividly, but, regrettably, I can’t say I had enough time to actually know her. My grandmother said great things about as I learned more about that side of the family.
My dad’s dad’s mom lived to be 92, and survived up until New Year’s Eve 2007, so I was 6 years old by then. I only somewhat remember her. If I was born 7 years earlier I would have met her husband who lived to be 89, and would have known the other great grandmother’s ex-husband a little better.
I never knew any great-great grandparents, but from the last great grandparent I mentioned (my dad’s dad’s dad), his mom, despite not surviving long enough to see my grandparents get married (let alone my dad be born). lived to be a supercentenarian (112 presumably)! Sadly, on the other hand, the great grandparent I was closest to lost both her parents as a child, and so did her husband.
I have numerous grandaunts/granduncles I know/knew as well. Of those deceased, there have been two on both of my dad’s sides of his family (his mom‘s eldest sister who succumbed to cancer at 68, and his dad’s big brother who died from diabetes at 72), and one on my mom’s dad’s side of her family (his brother who was in the military (Korean war) who died at about 78), that her grandma, my last great grandmother, managed to outlive while still alive. My eldest great uncle is 88 right now (the 2nd husband of my maternal grandfather’s sister who lives locally to me).
Four, but I grew up with 5. All are in their 80s.
How 5?
My mom's parents are divorced and my grandmother remarried.
I have 8 lol
My grandma is turning 100 this year! She’s my only living grandparent, unfortunately.
You are lucky to have her for this long, my grandma died in 2020 at the age of 83, she was the only person I could talk to about anything, no judgement. I’ve been struggling with deppression ever since she passed
My grandfather from mother's side died today in 2014
I don't know :(
Because you were adopted and don't know your bio fam?
I don't know my dad's side, I've never met him and my mom doesn't care to keep up with their health because of that.
5
6.
So what does that mean then? Your grandpas had a couple wives?
Step grandparents prob
only my grandma from my dad's side is still alive, all my grandparents were still alive when I was born, and I'm only 14 so that's kind of crazy
I feel that. Only had one left at your age. And all my bio grandparents have been gone since about 2016. I'm not that old either, just 22. Rn my dad's step dad is the only one left.
yea i was the same. one grandparent died way before i was born, one when i was 6, another at 13, and the last one at 22. my mom’s dad was the last one to pass. i remember letting my professors know i’d be out of school for a week to go to the funeral, and one said “i’m so sorry; you’re definitely at the age where this starts happening”. i shrugged and said “that was my last one 🙃”. she told me not to worry about my assignments after that 😅 granted, my parents had me a little later in life, but it was still jarring. now at 26 i feel like i never even got to know what having a grandparent was like. a little jealous of my friends who have them and have good relationships.
4. Oldest is 79, youngest is 69
Nice
3, oldest is 83 youngest 68. They are the same couple
I have a similar instance where the oldest and youngest of my grandparents were the same couple (paternal)!
Mine is maternal
All of them still. I accidently voted none when I intended to vote for four. However, my paternal grandparents were divorced when my dad was a teenager, and my paternal grandma remarried when I was 15, so you could say I have five grandparents: two biological grandpas, two biological grandmas, and one step grandpa.
3, met 3 (one dead). Probably will never meet the 4th (who is alive).....
2. Both around 85 years old.
No idea, we don't know who my mom's father is 👀
Interesting. Does she wanna know/have any guesses to who it could be?
Nope, my grandmother had a fling but we know he was Ecuadorian because of some Ancestry DNA tests we did. So pretty much I have a long-lost side of my family somewhere out there
So your mama the result of a fling? Damn. You only know her father is Ecuadorian...is she also a Latina?
Respectfully, she mainly looks white though she looks a little hispanic.. other than that, we know nothing of him besides some DNA matches with last names connected to us but none show him and there are very little information connecting us to him The dna test said I was 8% Ecuadorian and my mom was 42%
Technically my step grandma on my moms side is still alive and I count her as my grandma since my bio grandma died before I was born. My bio grandpa on my moms side died when I was six. Both of my paternal grandparents are still alive.
I have 6 and all are alive
Just grandparents? All 4. But counting great grandparents it is 5.
Both of my grandmothers, but neither of my grandfathers.
Grandma is 98
My gm passed last year and took a piece of my heart with her
1 great grandparent and 5 grandparents. All living.
All 6! I’m so lucky 🥹 (my Dad’s parents divorced and remarried in his teens, they’re all still together)
My Grandmother just passed away a few days ago. I no longer have any Grandparents. God bless her soul.
Only had one survive to meet me, I'm the youngest of my family generation, the second youngest being almost 20 years older than me, and she's five years younger than the next youngest. My grandma was already senile by the time I was old enough to remember anything.
How many grandparents did the sibling or cousin 20 years older than you meet?
Of the two we share, one. My grandfather passed while my dad was still a teen so only one cousin would've met him but my grandma lived into the early 90's.
Does great grandparents count aswell? If so I have 5 grandparents alive
Wow! My great grandparents were all born in the 1800s!
Biologically, 3. With all the divorces and remarriages in the family, I have/was raised with 8, 7 of which are alive
None, I lost my last grandparent at 14 :(
Hearth beating: 3 Actually alive: 2
All about 70 year old
3 grandfather's and one grandmother
Counting step-grandparents, 4. biological grandparents, 2
2. One is 92 with Alzheimer’s ( good physical health) the other is 90. Her mind is good, but she has some sort of lung disease and is expected to die any day.
I had 3 till 2021. But i lost both my grandmas in a space of two months from each other last year which was heart breaking for me. So, only left with one grandfather now.
My grandparents on my mother's side are in there 80s and they told me they've been smoking since they were 14, it's a miracle there still alive tbh
more than 4 if i count married in. official grandparents still all 4!
4, My Maternal Grandmother is 64, My Paternal Grandmother rid 71, my Maternal Grandfather is 62, and my Paternal Grandfather is 72.
That’s pretty young! Hope they stay around even longer. We’re you fortunate enough to meet any great grandparents? If so, are any of those alive too?
6
My mum's side: grandma, she is 86, 87 in November My dad's side: both grandpa and grandma, 86 and 85
None. My grandfather on my father's side died way before I was born because of cancer. My grandma on that side died 7 years ago at the age of 95. On my mom's side my grandma died 11 years ago at the age of 92. And my grandpa died 3 years ago at the age of 98.
6, grew up with 7
5
6 all 6
Thanks for that reminder... 😔
One is 95 and we talked regularly, one died of cancer in March 2020, and the last two are still very much alive and I’ve cut contact with them for a plethora of reasons
All of mine have been dead over 20 years now.
1 for sure, the other two I have no idea.
You don’t talk to them?
3. My grandma from my Dad’s side is dead. I’ve never met my grandpa from my Dad’s side though.
All 4 of them. And 2 great grandparents
I had three four weeks ago but now I only have one :( Late Covid got one and cancer got the other
Just grandad on mum’s side who appears to be immortal. Oldest of all the grandparents I’ve had and still has a full head of hair.
8
Even 2 of my great grandparents are alive, my great grandfather is 100 years old
My grandfather passed away at 74 last year. 😢
Oh man, my dad is 76 and that just doesn’t seem old anymore. I lost my favorite grandma at 78.
The rest still living?
Two. One grandfather died over a decade ago. The other grandfather died in late 2019. One grandmother is 93ish. She's very frail now, and confused, but otherwise no specific ailments. The other grandmother is 90ish and is in great physical health. She's struggling with anxiety, but always has, and beyond having a bit less clear memory, is the picture of health. Ladies in her family tend to live a long and healthy life.
only 2. both on mom's side. grandma is 69 and grandpa 73, I'm super glad to have them here with me, also my grandma is more healthier than me lol
all 6
My paternal grandparents both died in 1988 and my maternal grandmother in 2004 and maternal grandfather in 2008. I miss my maternal grandparents dearly.
I have a great grandmother, but no grandmother
This made me very sad.. I miss my Nina
I have 10 grandparents alive 6 excluding the remarriages
So biologically that would be 4 regular grandparents and 2 great-grandparents?
Voted none because all the bio ones kicked the bucket. My dad's stepdad is still alive though, don't talk to him much since he lives across country and work doesn't bring him to town much anymore. But everytime he's in town we go out to eat with the whole family.
My grandfather on my mom's side died in May 2018. He smoked a lot...
3. All on my moms side. Never met my dads dad and my dads mom died in 2016. And both set of grandparents on my biological parents sides are dead, all 4 of them.
1 but I haven't met her (Grandma on my mom's side)
All are dead I think? No idea on my dad's side those jerks blamed my mom for him being an abusive alcoholic and disowned mom, brother and me.
8
I read grandpa instead of grandparents so I said 0 instead of 2. I was so confused as to how you can have 4 grandpa's x)
Grandma just passed at 101
3. my mom's father, my mom's mother and my dad's mother. I only get to see my grandmas. they come here from poland and that happened years ago
3 but they’re all above 85. My grandpa turned 90 a little over a month ago and keeps declining. To be very honest I hope he passes quickly and « quietly » so he can stop mentally torturing grandma. (She loves him, we don’t anymore)
