The British veteran who lost his wife nine months ago slept with her photograph each night before his caregiver, Kia Mariah Tobin, bought him a pillow with his wife's face on it.

Tobin, who is a caretaker at Thistleton Lodge in Preston, gifted the 94-year-old the pillow because she realized that sleeping next to a glass framed picture might be harmful.
