How much longer did one parent

[low-key]

live after the other one died, if both your parents are alive then you won the lottery.


my mom lived 14 years after my dad died

 

[E&Cmom]

18 years. My mom died in 1996 at the age of 63. My dad died 2 years ago next month at the age of 87.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Both still living & in good health. Dad's 76, Mom 78.

 

[mrsheppo]

My mom died at age 54 in 1982 and my dad died in 1993 at age 69

My Dad passed almost 13 years ago..
Mom just turned 88 last month.

My dad died 14 years ago at the age of 78. My mom is 74 and still kicking, God willing for a long time yet. Her health seems to be going downhill fast these last couple of years. I'd always thought they'd live much longer. Almost all my grandparents lived well into their 90s.

 

[Kimkimba]

My mom lived 7 years longer. I'm very sad that my kids didn't get to know my parents. But my in-laws are awesome grandparents and still going very strong. My MIL is younger than my oldest sister.

 

[AustinTink]

Dad died young at 62. Mom lived another 18 years and died at 84. I've been an orphan for two years now. It sucks.

I still have both my parents. As sad as it is, I think they will both go close to the same time. My mom would wither without my dad.

 

[Meriweather]

My mother died at the age of 59 and Dad died 9 months later at the age of 62. Way too early for both of them.

My Ddad was 13 years younger than my DMom, but died young at 70. DMom lived another 15 years on her how and managed her singleness quite well. Had it been the other way around, I'm positive DDad would have remarried as quickly as possible, lest he fade away as well.

She's not useless or anything like that, she COULD function without my dad..I just don't think she'd want to. I posted this in another thread before, but when my grandpa died, my mom stopped talking for a year and completely withdrew. I think she'd do the same without my dad.

 

[Julie's Haircut]

My father died in 1974 when he was 53.
My mother lived until 2009 and died a week short of her 85th birthday.

So, a 35 year gap. My mother never remarried, but she did have a long-time "Gentleman Friend," about 1979 to 2005 when he died.

 

[MinnieMouse84]

My parents are both alive (mom is 64 and dad is 71), but when my grandma died in 1997, we all thought my grandpa would die of grief within a year. He surprised everyone and lived another 10 years.

 

[Southernmiss]

My dad died in 1985 at age 38. Mom is still going at 71. Her mother is still living at age 96. My papaw died at age 60 in 1978.

 

[Luv Bunnies]

My dad is 91 and my mom is 80.

 

[Adipoo]

My father died in 1956, age 33. My mother died in 1974, age 45.

 

[superme80]

My parents are both still alive. My grandma on my mom's side died in 2010 and grandpa is still living. My grandma on my dad's side died early 2013 and my grandpa died about a year later in early 2014.

 

[Keli]

My dad died at 30 in 1976. He's been gone 40 yrs. Mom remarried the next yr and she (71) and my stepdad (72) are still going strong. My stepdad is as much my dad as my bio dad was, both wonderful dads and very thankful to have them in my life. So while I have a parent who had passed I also feel like I have two living parents.

 

[cjbcam]

I feel very fortunate. My Dad is 61 and my Mom is 57. My dads parents are also both still alive they are in their mid 80's. My moms dad passed about a year ago and my moms mom is 78 and going strong still. When my first daughter was born her great, great grandma was still alive.
