Published 3 days ago3 minute read

Kelsey Parker has shared a heartbreaking message with followers just weeks after the loss of her baby son. Back in March, Kelsey shared the devastating news that her third child Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, was "born sleeping".

The 34-year-old, who also shares kids Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four, with her late partner The Wanted's Tom Parker, shared a touching poem in tribute to Phoenix on Instagram. She captioned the post, "Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved."

The moving poem began: "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'."

Kelsey continued: "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, and still, you mean everything to me. You'll journey with us, softly near, In every sigh, in every tear."

Following the tragedy, Kelsey and her partner Will Lindsay have been mourning in private with their family, reports the Manchester Evening News.

However Kelsey returned to social media on Monday, July 7, to update fans that episodes of her podcast Mum's The Word, which she co-hosts with Georgia Jones will continue to be released over the next weeks and months.

The episodes were recorded while she was pregnant. In an update shared on her Instagram Story, Kelsey revealed: "Before I gave birth to Phoenix, I had recorded a lot of podcasts for my @mumstheword_pod before going off on maternity leave.

"I want to thank the lovely team for checking in and being patient to put some episodes out that were during my pregnancy."

She continued: "Over the next couple of months these episodes will air. They were part of my journey so I didn't want to not share them, and they all have incredible guests with really important stories and messages.

"Please take the time to listen to these episodes and remember to be kind when doing so."

Describing her family's loss as being "earth-shattering," Kelsey conveyed her emotions openly after first announcing the tragic passing of her baby boy, with a post later on which she shared.

Elsewhere on her Instagram story, Kelsey expressed: "Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heartfelt wishes, I wanted to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share.

"But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this heartbreaking and earth-shattering news. I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space. Love always, Kelsey, Will, and the Parker Family."
