In April she opened up to The Sun about Tom's final moments.
She said: "I got into bed with him. We were in bed together for two hours, I just wanted that time with him.
"It was romantic even then. Yes, we were in a hospice but that was Tom as a person, it never mattered where we were.
"I said, ‘You know Tom, I will be OK, the kids will be OK. I will make sure that everything you want them to know, the things that you’ve taught me over the years, I promise to teach them it all’.
"He said, ‘I know you’re going to be OK’. He then took off his wedding ring and put it on my finger."
On their daughter Aurelia's third birthday, she took to Instagram to share a series of touching photos and video clips of Tom with the toddler.
She wrote alongside them: "Well, my baby girl is three and it’s been three months since we lost Tom - two big milestones.
