My maternal grandparents are still alive, and my paternal grandma is alive, but my paternal grandfather is dead. :(
25 and all three of mine are alive.
To clear that up, both on my Dad's side are alive. On my Mum's side, she doesn't know her Dad. He and my Grandma fell out when my Mum wasn't even 1, and he tried to take my Mum away with him, but my great granddad stopped him. That is all we have ever gotten out of them about it, we don't even know the mans name, or if he's alive or dead. There is part of me that would like to know more, but that really is between my Mother and Grandma and if my Mum chooses to respect her mothers wishes and not go into it, then I don't feel it's my place to pry into it.

what? :/
He doesn't understand how young a lot of people have kids these days. I've got a friend who's 22, and all 4 of her grandparents are still alive (and only in their 60s) and she even has like 5 out of 8 great-grandparents left.
As for me, my family hasn't been having kids that early. I'm 24 and all four of my grandparents are dead, the last one died about 5 years ago, and every one of my great-grandparents had been dead for a decade before I was even born.
All my grandparents have died, I never got to know any of them, they wanted nothing to do with me due to my mum and dad getting together, my mum being English and my dad being Scottish. The only one who didn't turn their backs on my parents was my grandmother on my mum's side, she died when my mum was 11 years old, cancer.
Both of my grandparents on my mom's side are alive, but getting pretty old. My paternal grandmother died when I was 2 or 3, and my paternal grandfather died in 2012.
But I suppose that's okay, I love my boyfriend's grandma like my own, I actually feel closer to her than my actual grandparents.
2.
both Grandmas are alive. both Grandpas are dead. Grandpa on my dads side, died of an aneurism in '07. dont really know too much about my grandpa on my moms side. he left my grandma though. im pretty sure hes dead.
i also have a great Grandma that is still alive. shes in her upper 90s and lives in a nursing home. memory is starting to go.
I didn't lose my first grandparent until I was 26, and then they passed in rapid succession. They're all gone, now. :-(
Two of my great-grandmothers lived until I was a teenager.
20 years old and 3 are still alive. The only one who's die was my Grandpa, on my father's side. Happened when I was 5 or so.
Not sure how long my mother's parents will last though. Hopefully for a while longer, but they aren't doing too well. My Grandma's basically breaking down (hard to explain; a lot of things), while my Grandpa's suffering from Alzheimer's. A very sad sight.
2, both of my paternal grandparents. They're both in their 80s. My grandfather probably only has a few years left, as his health is slowly leaving him. Both of my grandmother's parents lived until the age of 95 though, so I think she'll be around for a while longer.
Biologically speaking, none. My mothers father passed when she was a teenager. My grandma remarried and stayed with him until she died a few years back. That man is my granddad as far as I'm concerned, and he's the only one still alive.
None. Paternal grandfather died circa 1970 from suicide, maternal grandfather from lung cancer in 1965. Both maternal grandmothers died in 2006 from lung cancer.
