Parents death

Ellie2008

What age were you when your parents died? I think I know a disproportionate
number of people under 30 with only one surviving parent, just curious.

Both very much alive. Hopefully will be for a long time too.

My dad is still alive, my mam died when I was 25.

Jen Pigs Fly

Both are still alive and not even 50 yet

I was 9 when my mam died, 16 when my dad died.

Both of them are still very much alive!

I lost both mine (within 4 weeks of each other) at 34, but I felt most sorry for my youngest brother who was only 22 at the time.

Oh God Evie I'm sorry to read this - that was awful for you! How did you manage after your father died?

Mums still here, lost dad when I was 29. Anyone lucky enough to have both parents around, NEVER take it for granted.

24 (dad) and 43 (mum)

Very strange thread to be honest.

To answer the question, both are very much alive thankfully. I'd be lost without either of them.

Close this thread it's fuçking weird.

None thankfully but one of them stopped wanting anything to do with me when I was young, still lived in the same house awkward. My Dad is alive and his parents are but I think his parents will outlive him, he's not been looking after himself and I don't talk to him now and I'm worried he's going to die and I won't be allowed to attend his funeral.
Gosh this doesn't bare thinking about.

Awwwww man, this is one of my biggest fears, thankfully not yet but I know the fickleness of life and its a scary thought that I could be joking and having fun with my parents one night and the next day one of them could be gone. Suppose you just gotta free your mind of these thoughts.

Maybe if you reworded the opening post to something like "If any of you have lost a parent, what age were you when they died?" It just looks like everyone's lost their parents, the way you've worded it.

No one wants to think about their parents dying but it's no harm to talk about it. No matter what age you are the death of a parent will always be hard, everything changes and home is never the same again.

Both still with us thank God.

No harm done
A little morbid for AH so we'll leave it at that.
