How old were you when your parents died

30 when my Dad died aged 79
59 when my Mum died aged 97, eight years ago

My Mum lived with us for the last four years of her life and I miss her every day

30 when my father died and 44 when my mother died. They were 61 and 75.

My dad died at 71 when I was 27, I will always be sad that he didn't live to see all my children born. My mother died at 78 when I was 39, I’m an only child and it felt far too young to be an “orphan”. Even after all these years there are still times when I miss having them here.

34 when my mother died and 43 when my father died. Mom was in her 50s and Dad was 68; it slightly freaks me out that now I am older than either of them.

I was 72 when my dad died 18 months ago and my mum will be 100 in September!

Dad 33
Mum 62

After trying for our first baby for many years. It is so sad that my dad died 2 yrs to the day before our daughter was born. I was 33. My nan said he had "past over to make way for her"
I was 59 when mum died.

Yes, this is a sad thread.

I was 20 when my mum died (aged 60) and 30 when my dad died (aged 77)
Bless them.

Also thinking of Mommawolf’s family today, after the tragic news we heard on the Good Morning thread, this morning.

34 when my mother died and 66 and my father died at 90.

You seem to have started quite a few threads over the last few days Trendynannie6.
Why do you want to know how old people were when their parents died, or they had their first child?

My mum died when I was 23, she was 46. I last saw her as she waved me and my baby son off at lime street station. I always think I was lucky in a way because I was the only one of five children who said goodbye to her. She’d been very ill for all of my childhood but we were shielded from the seriousness of her illness. I realise now how much the underlying tension in the house affect us all. I think that is making me over sensitive to my DiL terminal illness and the affects on my grandchildren. I feel as f history is repeating itself. My dad died a week following my 60th he was in his mid 80’s I wish I’d been nicer to him. I think we in part blamed him for my mothers early death. He was fairly selfish and a bit useless.

I was 36 when my Mum died - I'm now 60.

My Dad died when I was almost 40

A journalist fishing maybe, @janeainsworth?

I was three when my mam died my dad did Remarry and he died when I was 39 aged 73.

I'm 70. Still got Mum who is 95. She drives me mad. But I'll miss her when she's gone I'm sure. My wonderful Gran, who I adored, died when I was 28. I miss her every day.

I was 53 when my mother dies, she was 85 and 64 when DF died. He was 92.

I was so fortunate to have my Mum at my 70th birthday. She was in good form but took ill and died a few months later.

I was 51 when my mum died at 80 and 62 when my dad died at 89.

35 when dad died and 47 when mom died. I was close to my dad. I didn’t know mom that well, but can remember some things I really don’t like remembering about her.

This is a thread I would not contribute to, added to the other about when you had your children the OP is gathering a lot of data.

I was 16 when my father died and 30 when my Mum died. They were older parents though.

Quite, Harrigran. Not to mention the thread about hearing voices and the thread about hearing knocking at the door

59 when mum died and 63 when dad died

14 when mum died aged 48 after battling leukemia for 2 years and dad died 2 years later when I was 16. Life changed quite a bit and not according to plans but I honestly think it made me stronger and very resilient. I have great memories of them both.

My first little girl died aged 7 weeeks,and dad died 8 weeks after aged 62,I was 25.
My second daughter died aged 23,mum died 4 years after aged 79,I was 56.
