Tom Parker's widow Kelsey says she's 'lonely' on Valentine's Day without husband

Kelsey Parker said she feels 'angry, sad and lonely' as she remembers the last Valentine's Day she had with her late husband.

The Wanted's Tom Parker tragically died last year aged 33 after losing his battle with brain cancer.

The star's widow, 32, told fans she wasn't sure whether she should post anything today, but wanted to thank the singer for the 'best years of her life'.

Posting a heartbreaking photo of the couple embracing, she wrote: "This time last year I was full of hope. We were in Spain where Tom was in daily therapy and he was the strongest and healthiest he’d been in a long time.

"I was lucky enough to spend Valentine’s and another 3 weeks just me and Tom. I never could have known how precious that time was or imagined the pain that was ahead of me and now, a year later, I’m facing the anniversary of a whole year without you Tom.

Tom Parker's widow, Kelsey, has shared a candid post on Valentine's Day

"I’m angry, sad, lonely, wishing more than anything that none of this happened to us. But it did and I’m grateful for the years we had, the love we shared and the babies we made."

Kelsey thanked the couple's children Bodhi, two and Aurelia, three for 'bringing her so much joy'.

She then told her followers to 'cherish' the relationships they were in, saying: "We’re all here to love and to be loved."

However, Kelsey also shared her post with singletons, writing: "If you’re on your own, remember you’re not on your own.

"Valentines is a day to celebrate love so celebrate all the love in your world, whether it’s romantic or not. I couldn’t feel any more loved by everyone on here who has followed, supported, liked, commented, sent me DM’s when I’ve needed them most."

Tom lost his life on March 30 and Kelsey admitted she was 'dreading' the anniversary.

However, thanking everyone who had supported her since losing her husband, she said: "Today I’m going to remember how loved I felt for the last 13 valentines with Tom. The years he went all out, the years we spent a part but so in love and I’m just going to remember how lucky I was.

"I love you Tom. Thank you for the best years of my life."

The emotional post was met with a flurry of support, with one fan saying: "Sending love to the three of you" while another told the mum-of-two to: "Stay strong".
