"You know, having a day like today – I'm emotional. But ultimately, I've got to go and be a mum now to my children."
Earlier in the video, Kelsey spoke about how passionate she is to raise awareness of brain cancer, and reflected on how her grief has hit her hard this year, since Tom's death.
"I just feel so sad for my life and my kids' life, because all Tom wanted to do was be a husband and dad and he didn't get that opportunity," she said.
"I want to raise as much awareness for brain cancer as I can."

Recently, Kelsey took to her Instagram Stories to share another rough day she was experiencing, ahead of the British National Television Awards.
Posting to her Instagram Stories, Kelsey revealed she had spent her morning looking through old videos of Tom – an action she couldn't understand why she did.
"I don't know what is wrong with me this morning, but I'm literally so emotional," she admitted, adding, "I don't know why I did that to myself."
