Re: Did or have your parents reached a good age?

My dad died in 2011 aged 88. My mum I lost last year at age 83.
Both died from dementia-related illnesses.

Re: Did or have your parents reached a good age?

My mum died aged 81 suddenly, they said it was a blood clot. Dad is still with us thank God he is 85. I can't bear to think of my Dad leaving me as well as Mum and my Sister, I still struggle with grief 4 years later, my sister was my best friend and only 61, she too died suddenly only 3 weeks from my mum. God rest their souls.

Re: Did or have your parents reached a good age?

My Dad died aged 89, not bad for someone who spent over 60 years with type 1 diabetes.

My Mum died aged 36, she had a brain haemorrhage and my brother aged 12 found her when he came home from school for lunch . I was in my pram screaming, it seems she had been dead some time .

Re: Did or have your parents reached a good age?

I am fortunate that my parents are sill alive, well into their eighties.

When it comes to parents, I won the lottery. It will be a seismic loss when they go.
