BBC Children in Need: Sisters lose their mum and dad

Ellie, 19, and her 16-year-old sister Hannah, from Herefordshire, are dealing with the devastating loss of their parents.

Their mother Julie died suddenly in February, four years after her husband Peter died from bowel cancer.

The sisters, who were already reeling from the loss of one parent, were now grieving again, and having to deal with funeral arrangements.

Since their father's diagnosis, help has been provided by the charity Hope Support Services, which receives funding from BBC Children in Need.

If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this story, there is help and support on the BBC Action Line.
