Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey is marking six months without her husband.
The Wanted star died in March at the age of 33, after being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour.
He left behind wife Kelsey and two young children, Aurelia, three, and Bodhi, two.
Kelsey has been open about her grief over the last few months, and has aimed to keep her late husband’s memory alive, sharing videos of their children finding his memoir in shops, planning charity events and erecting a plaque in his honour.
Now, she is marking ‘another day, another milestone,’ as she plans to watch her friends get married, without her own partner by her side.
She shared a picture of the four on her Instagram, noting: ‘6 months to the day since we lost Tom but you’re still here @tomparkerofficial in everything we do.’

The mum-of-two continued: ‘We have arrived at the hotel to get ready for Kelsey and Dean’s wedding tomorrow and I’m so excited to watch my best friend get married to the best guy we could have chosen for her. The only man Tom ever approved of for our Kels.
‘Tom would be so proud of you both and I know he’s gutted to be missing out on this special day. Not having him by my side tomorrow will be one of the hardest challenges I’ve faced yet, but I will do it.’
Kelsey added that she is ‘determined’ to make the wedding ‘the best day’ for the couple and their friends, but she wanted to honour Parker before the celebrations commence.

‘This week has been one of the hardest yet and I would give anything to be sharing this weekend with you,’ she shared.
‘Holding onto the knowledge that to be loved is everything and we loved hard ❤️ I would say I do to you a million times over ❤️ I love you Tom.’
Fans and famous pals flocked to shower Kelsey with love and warm wishes, with Loose Women panellist Nadia Sawalha commenting: ‘So bloody tough.. take it a minute at a time hunny x’.
Others assured the working mum that her late husband will be ‘looking down’ on her and he is ‘with you all’ every day.
In fact, Kelsey recently shared that the pop star still sends her ‘signals’ to show her he is still with her.

She told ITV’s Loose Women that there’s ‘always a sign’, like the time she was having a gossip with her friends and she saw a white feather flutter down.
‘We went to Soho Farmhouse for my friend’s hen… we were all gossiping and on the balcony was a white feather and I was like, “Of course he’s here picking up all the gossip”,’ she said.

‘I kept saying to Tom out loud, “Please make it sunny on Saturday” and the sun was shining, but it was forecast to rain all day.’
The young mum is now raising her children without Parker, but says she isn’t on her own – ‘I have a village of people, I’m so lucky that they’re there for me,’ she said, admitting ‘I couldn’t do it without them.’
