A mum whose daughter and husband died days apart has found new love with a widower who also lost his wife and child. Alice Palmer, 68, was a lifetime carer to daughter Beth, 20, who suffered with cerebral palsy, scoliosis, blindness and epilepsy.
Alice's world was turned upside down when her husband John, 61, was diagnosed with cancer in March 2019. At the same time, Beth's health began to decline - and Alice would spend her day visiting them both in separate hospitals.
Alice was devastated when she got the news that Beth had died on August 26 - then just six days later John passed away too. Heartbroken Alice had to organise a double funeral for Beth and John with their coffins lay side by side.
