I had a living grandparent until I was 51. She was 90.

When I was 40 I had two who were both 86. When I was 41 and 3 months I had zero.

I only had 1 set of grandparents (dad is an orphan). Im 36. I lost my grandma last year at 88 and my grandpa is still alive and living alone at 90yo.

My grandparents all died quite young -- 66, 65, 72 and 80. Because of this, my parents assumed that they too would not be long-lived. And I kind of assumed I would lose them fairly young as well. My dad lived to 87 and my mom is almost 91. Quite surprised and wondering what's in store for me. I had always assumed people in my family didn't live long, my parents wouldn't and neither would I. Now I just worry about getting Alzheimer's disease.

I’m 42

I have one grandmother who’s 83 and one who’s 84. Both grandfathers have passed away.

My grandfathers died (by drowning and alcoholism) before I was born. Both grandmothers lived to 96.

I know you asked about living grandparents, but my children are 26 and 28 and have no living grandparents.
They died at 72, 79, 84, 85.

My grandparents died at 37, 49, 87, and 99.
My parents were each 84 when they died (even the one with parents who lived to 87 and 99).

I’m 38 and my last living grandma is 86. Her mom lived to 89, so I think we’ll have her for a few more years.

That is remarkable!

I lost my grandmother at 48. She was 99.

I’m 40. My grandmother is 89 this year. My grandfather made it to 88 before he died.

Same here! My grandma has lived in the same house since 1969, with the same clothes dryer.

Her father died when she was young, then WWII broke out. Nazis occupied her village and moved into the house next to hers. When the Americans came, they gave candy to the children. She first got electricity after the war: one light bulb.

My other grandparents died when they were 77-80.

I was in my 20s when my last grandparent died, she was 95 (she had my dad in her 40s).

I'm 43 and just lost my last grandparent last year, but they died at 106, 102, 99, and 94, respectively. We breed old and live long apparently.
