So sorry for your loss Drol… I remember when my great grandmother died, one month shy of her 102bday, people tend to say old age makes mourning less difficult but I tend to think it's still quite difficult to process… Hope everything will be fine with you ! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Immortal 635 Posted January 23 My grandma's husband or grandpa as we grandchildren all knew him (since grandma divorced my biological grandfather when their 3 children were little), died yesterday at the age of 82 of complications from Parkinson's disease and respiratory issues. Though seriously stricken by Parkinson's, on oxygen and unable to speak without getting out of breath every few sentences, his ever lively spirit never left him and stayed till the end. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

La Tombe 354 Posted March 3 I have the sadness to announce that this morning, my great-uncle has passed away at 81. He was diminished for some times. It’s a huge loss for my grandpa. Sadly, he is now the last one in his family. My grandpa who is 84, had 2 brothers and he was older than them. The other one, the youngest died in 2020, aged 72. Moreover, my grandpa is widowed since the death of my grandma in 2019, aged 79. Fortunately, he still has his sons including my dad and his grandchildren including me for supporting him. Since 2019, my grandpa really passed through tough times. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,400 Posted March 4 I have two grandparents left and seven great-uncles & great-aunts ranging from 72 to 93 years old. I'm only in regular contact with one though, my (dead) grandad's brother. He's a proper old school East-Ender (not the soap) and was a friendly acquaintance of the Krays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
