Just one week after confirming the devastating loss of her third child, Kelly Parker has since made a second appearance on social media to celebrate the birthday of her daughter.
Kelsey Parker has paid tribute to her daughter Aurelia on her sixth birthday, just days after revealing the heartbreaking loss of her unborn baby boy.
The mum-of-two, who lost her husband Tom Parker in 2022, returned to Instagram with a touching montage of Aurelia’s first six years, including a moment of her as a baby being cradled by her late dad.
According to her, “Aurelia means “The Golden One,” and that is who you are. You’ve been through a lot, my sweet daughter, but any mummy would want you to be the most special little girl.
She continued, “I’m so happy we got to spend this weekend celebrating your birthday and putting on another year of a lot.” I’m incredibly proud of you and the amazing young woman you are becoming.” Aurelia was the most adorable little girl with a heart of gold, according to one user, who shared her sweet comments on Kelly’s upload.
A second later said, “Happy birthday, gorgeous girl.” Georgia Jones, Danny Jones’ wife, said, “Happy birthday to the cutest little diva I know.” “Happy birthday to the most special little girl.” “I want to show you all how much I love you all,” said one.
The video came after Kelsey shared that her third child, a baby boy named Phoenix, was sadly stillborn just a week before his due date.
In a moving poem, she wrote: “The world grew quiet as you arrived, so loved, so longed for, yet not alive… Born with wings, took silent flight.”
No breath, no eyes, no memories, but you mean everything to me as we travel softly near, with each sigh, every tear, according to the poem, which was shared alongside a photo of a memory box.
Kelsey later thanked followers for their support and love and later announced that she was stepping aside from social media to process the pain privately.
Messages of love poured in, with Kate Ferdinand writing: “Oh Kelsey, I’m so sorry. You’ve been through so much as a family already, this feels so unfair.”
Since losing Tom, who was just 33 when he passed away from brain cancer, Kelsey has openly discussed grief, healing, and the challenging road ahead, including finding love with new partner Will Lindsay.
However, the path has not been straightforward. Kelsey made an appearance on Lorraine in March, confessing that she had been criticized for moving on despite that three years had passed since Tom’s passing.
She said, “I’m always going to feel guilty.” What do people want me to do because Tom is no longer here, though? She continued, “Our house used to be filled with so much sadness, but now it’s filled with joy.” More than anything, the kids deserve that.
