'I lost my son to suicide and now my husband has months to live - every day counts'

Life has ways of bringing two people that are destined to meet together - that was certainly the case for Joanne Clement and Ben Reeves. The pair met in a Somerset pub on 10 September 2018, exactly four years after Joanne, 47, lost her 18-year-old son Charley to suicide.

Ben, 38, brought "light and happiness" into Joanne's life and made her smile and laugh again - a sight her children, Harry, 26, and Daisy, 19, never thought they'd see. The couple fell in love instantly, moved in and got married, all the while Ben lived with a cancerous brain tumour.
