A Scots family rocked by a double tragedy say the strain of paying for two funerals so close together is making their grief even harder to deal with.
Elaine Stirling, 39, from Johnstone in Renfrewshire lost her mum, Carol Stirling, 59, on April 3 last year after she suffered three brain aneurysms following the formation of a clot in her heart.
Bereft Elaine was then hit with more heartache just eight months later when her partner, Thomas Brown, died.
