Off Topic- How old were you when you lost your Parent(s)

[Sheri]

My Dad lost his Dad when he was 63. My Mom lost her Dad when she was 58. They both still have their Mom's.

I thought I would have my parents well into my 50's, is this abnormal?

I was in my mid twenties when I lost my dad, he was 65. His dad had died at age 65 and for some reason my dad was sure he would die at 65 also (and did). My mom is still alive. I think we all expect to have our parents around until they are elderly and we're close to retirement.

[Muriel]

My Dad died when I was 38 (from lung cancer at age 70). His Dad died at age 45, when my Dad was 16. My Mom died at age 77, when I was 47. Her Mother died at age 65 when my Mom was 33.

My dad just died two days ago. He was 64- I am 31.

[Nushka]

My dad died when I was 33 and he was 56, my mom died when I was 47 and she was 71. I still miss both of them very much and often wonder what they would think or say in a particular situation.

My Mom died when I was 16 and she was 48, my Dad died when I was 23 and he was 58. His Dad died at 58 too, all three remaining grandparents lived til their late 80's - go figure.

MY Father died at age 58 and my Mother at 88 years old still work's every day. But here's the kicker she had triple bypass heart surgery in 2000 two week's before i had my quintuple heart bypass surgery, plus she had reumatoid fever when she was a little girl and was puny and has out lived all her sister's (no Brother's)....

I was 12 when my Dad died, he was 40. I thought that was so old at the time. I remember thinking "at least he had a long life". Then I turned 40! Thankfully, my mother is still alive and well!

[Connie22]

My dad passed when I was 32 and he was 57 (massive heart attack) and my mom passed when I was 44 and she was 64 (lung cancer) and all grandparents are deceased.

[ginnyde]

All of my grandparents died before I was born. My father died at age 50, when I was 7 from strokes. My mother died at 68 when I was 26. We are not sure what caused her death. She had sever emphysema (sp) and they thought maybe lc but thought she was too sick to biopsy. Both of my sisters have died and both from throat cancer. Yep, I am the matriarch of the family. Depressing huh????

[Don Wood]

Three of my grandparents were deceased when I was born, and the fourth died when I was 5 (I have no recollection of him).

My father died when I was 23 and he was 71. My mother died when I was 24, and she was 60. Don

[tnmynatt]

My parents are still living at 86 (Dad) and 83 (Mom). My grandmother lived to 92 and my other grandparents died either before I was born or shortly thereafter. I did have a great grandmother that lived to 108. There is a newspaper article of her going up in an airplane when she was 102.

Not to give my age away, (like you can't figure it out, ha) but my mom did have me when she was in her middle thirties.

My dad died at age 91 and my mom at 94. Neither side had any Cancer. Hope that is the same with my genes plus the longevity.
