The journey of Becky Williams is similar to Kelsey Parker’s, who was bereaved of The Wanter singer Tom Parker in 2022 and who recently went stillbirth with her new partner.
A woman who lost her partner and baby – just like actress Kelsey Parker has – stressed you “find the strength” to keep going to “help your kids through the grief”.
30 days before the couple’s scheduled wedding, Becky Williams’ spouse Joe Morgan passed away from bowel cancer. Becky rekindled her romance with 33-year-old Tom Williams, who also gave birth to Becky’s fourth child, a heating engineer.
But Mabel suffered a traumatic brain injury during the difficult labour and died at six days, Becky’s second huge personal loss in around six years. Her journey mirrors that of actress Kelsey Parker, who recently experienced a stillbirth. She had fell pregnant with Will Lindsay, whom she started dating late last year after she herself had endured the bereavement of The Wanter singer Tom Parker to brain cancer in March 2022.
Becky, of Swindon, Wiltshire, claims that she “completely comprehends” Kelsey’s ongoing grief and has to remain “strong” in order to take care of her other children, who are “also grieving” the loss of their “daughter and their sibling.”

Becky, 34, continued, “To lose anyone is difficult. I fully comprehend how challenging it is to endure constant loss. She will be dealing with loss as well as physical healing from birth.
Nothing can improve it, they say. Having children around is the hardest part. My children, like Kelsey, also grieved the loss of their father and a sibling.
The wound is re-opened just as they begin to heal. I fought with them fervently. I understood their suffering, but I had to support them. I continued because I knew they needed me every day.
According to the most recent data, in 2022, about 1 in every 250 pregnancies ended in stillbirth. The traumatized brain injury that was suffered during labor, which is now even more uncommon, was the cause of Mabel’s death.
After having three children together, Becky and Joe got married in 2011. Harley, 18, was the eldest child of Becky’s parents and had a previous relationship. Joe started to lose weight, and in the first few months of 2018, he was given the diagnosis of stage four bowel cancer. The father passed away that November.
Recalling the trauma, Becky, an office manager, said: “My whole world came crashing down… He was only 29 – you never expect this to happen.” One year later, in 2019, Becky started going out with Tom who was a close friend she’d known for years.
In February 2025, Kelsey Parker opened up on social media about experiencing “trolling” and “negative” comments online for finding love again, something Becky had experienced too. Becky told Mail Online: “I believe a lot of the negativity is a lack of understanding. No one else knows what you’re going through and how difficult it is. Tom hugged my broken pieces back together again. I surrounded myself with positivity. You’re entitled to love again and be loved.”
However, tragedy struck again as Becky was born in September of this year and was born with a life-threatening uterine rupture. “Losing a child is indescribable,” Becky continued. Tom and Tom had amazing support and momentum.
Becky reconnected with her pregnancy in 2024. Hudson, the couple’s rainbow baby, was delivered on January 19, 2025, via c-section at 34 weeks and 5 pounds, 2 oz, at Great Western Hospital in Swindon, despite her concerns.
