‘The funniest, wittiest and most caring man I know. He was so proud of his family. A dedicated family man who was always there when you needed him.”
She continued: “My grandpa had the most infectious laugh and it makes me smile just thinking about it now. My babies adored their great grandfather Peter and he adored them.
“Grandfather, thank you for being you and my biggest supporter of all time. I will miss your stories, your lectures on life, your bike stories and your pure windup me!
“I know you’re up there with Tom and your boy Neil now, having a glass of red wine.
“This isn’t goodbye, just good night. Ta lah.’

“I didn’t really understand what grief is. You can feel so many emotions at the same time. There are so many different elements.”
Kelsey revealed one problem she faced was dealing with “a lot of guilt.”
The businesswoman, who has children Aurelia, three, and Bodhi, two, with Tom, explained: “I know I’ve done everything for Tom.
“But there’s still this guilt process. Guilty that I am still here looking at my children and I am guilty that he is not experiencing what I am experiencing with them.
When asked how she’s dealing with “moving on with life” after Tom’s death, Kelsey admitted it was difficult figuring out which of Tom’s items to keep, given their constant reminders that he’s no longer with them is.
She argued: “The memories are here in my heart, so getting rid of an object doesn’t really mean anything, but you don’t know how hard it is.
“You don’t want to let go because you’ll lose her even more.”

“People don’t understand how I feel. Christmas is gonna be so hard for me. We will not wake Christmas as a family.
“Grief runs in the family and affects us all so differently.”
She added that she can’t hear The Wanted’s music because “hearing Tom’s voice breaks my heart,” and said she wouldn’t wish the sadness on anyone.
