He left behind his wife and two young children, Aurelia and Bodhi.
Kelsey was left heartbroken and turned to writing to help her through her grief.
She has now published a book called With or Without You about her experience as a widow.
The 33-year-old found love again after her husband passed away with electrician Sean Boggans.
Although she insists her late partner would have wanted her to move on, trolls have made cruel comments about her re-dating after his death.
Kelsey hit back in an interview with the Daily Star, saying: “When you lose someone you love so much, it proves to you that you only have one life.
“Tom would want me to be happy. You have one life, so live it. That’s what he taught us.
“When we get back to dating… what does that have to do with someone else? I think you have to do what makes you happy in life.”
Speaking about her book, she added: “There’s so much stigma about how you should grieve. People think you should wear black with a veil over your face and be a walking widow. But that’s not the case. I’m still young and I have children to look after.
“There is no rule book for grieving and I say to people: don’t worry about how you grieve because there is no right or wrong way to do it.
“You can be laughing one minute and deep in emotion the next. There’s no wrong or right way.”
The young mother has now split with her boyfriend, but says she is grateful for the time they spent together and that he was a great support after Tom’s death.
