She poured her heart out on TikTok and admitted she worried Liam wouldn’t recognise her if they met again in the afterlife.

“Today marks nine months since Liam has left this world,” she said in the video.

“I don’t know if this is just a message for myself, or for Liam, or for anybody that’s navigating through grief that needs to hear this.”

Fighting back sobs, Kate told followers she had recently cut her hair, got new tattoos, and pierced her ears

She added: “Liam’s never seen me with hair this short. He’s never seen me with all these tattoos.

“And then I start thinking deeper into it… I don’t know how heaven works, but is Liam going to look the same way that he looked the last time I saw him?”

Kate – who dated Liam for two years and lived with him – said one day, when she’s old, Liam might not recognise her.

“When my time comes, will Liam recognise me? I’m going to have wrinkles, white hair, bony hands… how will he find me?”

The heartbreaking thought left her in tears, but she recalled a comforting moment with a friend who reassured her: “Of course he’s going to recognise you… he’s going to be so glad you lived.”

Kate continued: “He’s going to want to sit there and hear all about it… It just reminded me to stay strong, and to carry on, and live my life to the fullest.”

Ending the emotional message, Kate added: “Here’s to another day of living life without the person that I love. I miss you so much. And I love you so much.”

Kate’s video has already touched thousands of viewers who praised her honesty.

One said: “Liam is with you darling, he would be so proud of you.”

Another shared: “He can see you.”
