Kate, 26, a social media content creator who had been in a relationship with Liam for two years, has been openly documenting her grief journey online.
It was nine months on Wednesday since Liam passed on, and on Friday, Kate reshared a touching fan-made image to her Instagram Stories.
The edit showed Kate dressed in a blue outfit, with Liam digitally added beside her in a matching blue hoodie.
Sharing the image with her 944,000 followers, she wrote: ‘You guys (tearful emoji) these edits make me so sad yet so happy (tearful emoji).’
Recently, Kate broke down in tears live on TikTok as she marked nine months since his tragic death.
She was emotional as she shared a realisation she had had about the passing of time.
Kate revealed she had recently cut her hair, got new tattoos and had her ears pierced, which felt like big changes to her.
The big changes, however, were bittersweet as it made her think about how she would look different to how she did when Liam knew her.
She said: ‘I don’t know how heaven works, but is Liam going to look how he looked the last time I saw him?
‘Since the last day that I saw him? Is he still going to be that beautiful, youthful human that he was and that he is?’
And Kate went on to say that she had been looking at old photos of herself with Liam before he died and admitted that she looked different.
She continued: ‘And then I started thinking further ahead, that if I am blessed to live a long, happy, beautiful life – when my time comes will Liam recognise me?’
