        My grand mother died last year.

        Thankfully, I still have both my parents.

          Dad died when I was 14. Hard to believe that has been over 25 years ago...

          All my grandparents are gone.

          6 out 9 Uncles and Aunts are gone.

          2 cousins gone (1 traffic accident and 1 drowning)

          Miss them all and try to celebrate their lives every chance I get.

            All my grandparents years ago, my brother in '94, several aunts and uncles, one cousin in childhood (she died when she was two, from various birth defects). In the last year and a half, two aunts and an older cousin. Everybody's getting old.

              Wow. I'm the only one to have lost nobody at all. The closest that I've lost have been great-grandparents and great uncles/aunts who I never knew...
              Just knocks home how lucky I am I guess...


              Also its really strange that the same number of people have lost parents as grandparents...

                  MTG, a brother? That had to be tough. I can't imagine losing my brother. Condolences.

                    Both of my grandfathers, one of them I didn't know at all, the other at the age of 3 or 4. One of my grandmothers, this year.

                    My cousin died in a car crash a year ago.

                        Considering how old I am, I've been quite fortunate. Granted, all my grand parents have died, but only one aunt besides them. Parents... brothers... Aunts and Uncles are all still alive with the one exception

                        However... some of my friends have started dying... sigh.

                            I lost my father last year and at the moment I'm just waiting for my mother to die. She hasn't had any food or water for about a week now, we don't know how she's holding on. We keep thinking it's almost time, and she bounces back again. After having her brain eaten away by Alzheimer's, we keep hoping that she'll go soon and end her ordeal, but she won't let go.

                            If anyone ever approachs one of you for a contribution to Alzheimer's research please do so. It's a lousy way of ending a life. The sooner we find a cure the better for all those who become afflicted, and especially their families. It's very, very difficult watching someone you love slowly deteriorate into a vegetable.

                              All of my grandparents and a cousin who died at birth - but that was before I was born, so I guess it doesn't count.
