She has launched a GoFundMe page to support others, saying: “We want to turn our grief into something positive and to keep Tom’s memory alive forever.”
The couple wed in 2018 and had daughter Aurelia the following year.
Son Bodhi was born in 2020 — just after Tom announced he had terminal brain cancer.
Kelsey is being comforted by close relatives and Tom’s bandmates at her Kent home.

A source close to the family said: “Kelsey has been overwhelmed by the love and support shown to her family.
“So this is the perfect way to honour Tom’s legacy.
“She wants the money to go towards caring for patients and giving them alternative and holistic therapies which are out of reach from the NHS and standard of care.
“As well as giving families support and anything they need as a loved one battles brain cancer.”
