Kelsey captioned it: “Showing up.”
It’s after she told of her struggle ahead of a “tough” time without him.
She wrote: “Merry Christmas everyone
“Thank you to everyone who has commented and sent messages this year. I do read them all and having so much support really means the world.
“If you’re missing someone today remember there’s no right or wrong way to be feeling. Do what’s right for you and be kind to yourself.”
Tom sadly died at the age of 33 after a brave battle with brain cancer in March this year.
Kelsey revealed her emotional reunion with Tom’s parents yesterday.
Kelsey recently spent some quality time with Tom’s mum Nigel and Noreen.
Taking to Instagram, the mum-of-one shared some pictures from their reunion.
Kelsey said: “We don’t always get to see Tom’s family as much as we’d like.
“As we showed last night, it’s important to keep our family close and to celebrate together; even though it’ll always be bittersweet that Tom isn’t there.
“Me & the kids headed north earlier this week to go to the panto with Tom’s parents.
“The kids loved it and so special to make happy memories with their grandparents. .”
Many rushed to the comments section to share the love at such a hard time of year for the family.
One said: “So lovely to see Noreen and Nigel with the kids, especially around Christmas time – such a beautiful photo and such a beautiful family. They are always in our deepest thoughts .”
A second added: “So lovely that you have a close relationship.”
“Such lovely pictures thinking of you all and all of toms family xx,” a third chimed in.
Kelsey and Tom met back in 2009 and soon started dating.
They tied the knot in 2018.
