    Those 5 minutes towards the end of this were really hard hitting - grief is so hard, and life can be so cruel. Cancer does not discriminate and research is grossly underfunded. I hope the children grow up and feel immense pride in their parents, and can recognise how much Kelsey has done for them whilst trying to navigate parenthood without her soulmate. It’s such a sad situation, but it’s not a rare one; so many families lose a massive piece of them and walking through bereavement together isn’t an easy task. I wish them all the love and luck in the world, I’m sure Tom would be very proud of his little family.

    Kelsey’s story really resonates with me, as my husband was diagnosed with bowel cancer when I was 30 weeks pregnant, he died two and and half years later, but all the emotions Kelsey talks about were exactly what I was feeling and never really heard anybody talk like that.
    So I would like to thank her for this honest podcast, I was listening to it on the train and really had to stop myself from crying x

    I listened to this before it was uploaded here and I'm about to watch. Kelsey is an amazing person. Tom was so lucky to have her in his life for as long as he did. He landed on his feet when he met her & he knew just how lucky he was. Their love was unparalleled and it showed. They were made for each other.
    I hope one day in the future Kelsey finds love again. We know she'll always carry Tom in her heart.
    My cousin died 6 years ago with the same thing - GBM4. He left behind a wife and daughter. His wife has finally met someone new and to see her happy again makes my heart happy.
    Good luck for the future, Kels, Not that you'll need it

    What a wonderfully strong young lady, soulmates definitely meet for a reason and Kelsey was definitely Tom's earth angel, her positivity made his illness so much more bareable for him to cope with cos she helped him every step of the way to remain positive and strong, their love story was incredible but her dedication to him right up till the end was breathtaking, I don't know Kelsey but I absolutely love her, she's the strongest woman I've ever seen, please never stop being you Kelsey 💖 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Can I just add Giovani your interviewing/discussion skills are sublime, you was so good with the questions and the timeline of questions being kept so Kelsey didnt have to keep going back over things and also your compassion kept Kelsey calm and she looked like it was the really good soul cleansing chat that she needed too, all done with such love and care, well done sweetheart xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Great podcast ladies, Giovanna you have such away about you that you could get anyone to open up and express their feeling's in away that is not at all intrusive. I hope Kelsey finds peace within, she is so young to have to face this life alone with two small children, motherhood is so demanding, then she has to find time to grieve, bless her what a remarkably strong lady she is. Tom would be so proud of her. X
