KELSEY Parker's "haunting" words about life being "precious" were penned just months before the sudden loss of her baby son.
The Wanted star's widow announced the devastating news that her baby with new boyfriend Will Lindsay was "born sleeping" - a week before his due date.
Kelsey, who was married to singer Tom Parker, said in March that was trying to enjoy every moment of her pregnancy after losing her husband to a brain tumour in 2022 taught her "how precious life is".
Tom was aged just 33 when he died of glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive cancer, just 18 months after diagnosis.
Speaking to OK! Magazine earlier this year, then-pregnant Kelsey said: "I’m due at the end of June. I’m trying to enjoy this pregnancy more, because I think when you’ve been through something like I’ve been through, you realise how precious life is.
"I know that sounds clichéd, but it’s true.
"I just want to enjoy every moment of it with Will. When I fell pregnant with Aurelia, I thought I had my life set.
"I had the perfect life – I’d been with Tom since the age of 19 and had everything sorted.
"Then my world got flipped upside down and I think that teaches you how precious life is."
Kelsey wrote a beautiful poem to tell fans about the death of her third child Phoenix Parker-Lindsay.
In it, she details how Phoenix was "so loved, so longed for, yet not alive".
"No breath you drew, no eyes to see, still you mean everything to me," she added.
Kelsey then asked for "understanding and space" to process the "earth-shattering news".

In a statement posted on Instagram, Kelsey said: "Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heartfelt well wishes, I want 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 devastating and earth-shattering news.
"I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space."
