Kelsey Parker has been flooded with support as she shared a heartbreaking letter to her 'angel' baby following her tragic loss.
It was at the end of June that Kelsey announced the heartbreaking news that her third child, Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, with partner Will Lindsay, had been "born sleeping" shortly before her due date.
The 34-year-old was preparing to welcome her first child into the world with her new partner, having welcomed Aurelia, six, and Bodhi, four, with her late husband, The Wanted star Tom Parker.

Kelsey confirmed the tragic news of Phoenix's death by sharing a poem about her baby on Instagram, which was captioned: "Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved."
The short verse read: "They grew quiet as you arrived, So loved, so longed for, yet not alive. Our precious boy, our angel light, Born with wings, took silent flight'.
"We named you Phoenix, brave and bright. A soul of love, of warmth and light, Though we never heard you cry, You'll live in hearts that won't ask why. No breath you drew, no eyes to see,
"Still, you mean everything to me. You'll journey with us, softly near, In every sigh, in every tear."
Now, Kelsey has shared a new message in tribute to her baby boy. 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."
Kelsey added: "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."
It comes after Kelsey took to social media last week with her first update since taking time away from her platforms to come to terms with her family's loss, sharing that she, Will, and her two children and headed away for some time together in the sun.
She shared a family photo with Will and her two children as they soaked up the sun on a 'needed' holiday together. The heartbreaking image showed the family, dressed in summer attire, standing away from the camera, looking out towards a harbour, with a mountain in the background.
Alongside the photo at the time, Kelsey simply penned to fans: 'Exactly what we needed [heart emoji]. Thank you @jet2pics for making it so easy. X."
