KELSEY Parker has shared a heartbreaking letter to her 'angel' baby as she learns to live with the 'ache' after tragic loss.
The widow of The Wanted's Tom Parker was left devastated in June when her third child was "born sleeping", a week before her due date.
Kelsey – who was expecting the baby with partner Will Lindsay – named her son Phoenix Parker-Lindsay.
Now Kelsey has shared a heartbreaking letter to Phoenix on Instagram.
Alongside a video montage of her at the beach, she wrote: "A Letter to My Angel. It's hard to find the words.
"There is no preparing for this kind of heartbreak. I had dreams for you, your first giggle, your first steps, the way you would cling to me when the world felt too big.
"All those moments I imagined are now part of a different kind of story — one I never thought I'd have to write to you.
"But this isn't just about pain, it is about the quiet but powerful love you brought into this world. About how you changed me — made me softer, more grounded, and somehow even more grateful."
She continued: "Grief and gratitude can exist together. I grieve what was lost, but I am so thankful I had the chance to carry you for 9 months and love you unconditionally, I told you every day I loved you. You will always be mine. My son. My light. My why.
"I share this not because I have answers, but because silence can be lonely. And if you are walking through a similar kind of grief, please know you're not alone. There's a quiet sisterhood in this heartbreak, and I feel you deeply."
She concluded: "For now, I'm learning to live with the ache, to breathe through the waves, and to find little pockets of peace in the middle of the storm.
"And I know that even though I can't hold you in my arms, I carry you in my heart, always."
