She added: "The sadness is huge. I can’t even let myself think what another week without Jonnie will be like let alone another year another 10 years.

"I have been truly touched by all the support from friends and strangers.

"But nothing compares to how I have been picked up by my family and Jonnies sisters, your support and love means everything to me.

"I am loving watching the boys enjoy some days in the sun and having a change of scene is just what we needed."

Followers flocked to the comments to offer the widow words of comfort.

One person commiserated: "Have been thinking of you so much since Jonnie died. I’ve got a screen saver of Jonnie and us when we did a place in the sun and I find that hard enough so god help the pain you must be suffering.

"You’re a very brave young lady and a fantastic mother so all anyone can wish is that things get easier for you over time. Remember to look after yourself as the boys need you.

"Life can be so cruel. Sending lots of love and pleased you’ve got great support from family."

Another wrote: "Sending you and your gorgeous boys so much love and strength. Enjoy the little things but I know your heart must be breaking."

A third chimed in: "The world is sad with you…one foot in front of the other…sending love."
