Noelia Lopez, the wife of Jose Antonio Reyes, has written a letter to her husband after his death on Saturday.
Lopez married the footballer in 2017 and referred to their children as she discussed her grief.
"Love of my life, I can't stand this pain and how alone we are," a post on Instagram started.
"You take my will to live.
"I have to say goodbye to you today, but I don't have the strength.
"I will see you soon because we will be eternally together.
"Wait for me as we will be a family again wherever you are.
"You came from a long journey and were with those who gave you life, the life that left us.
"Help me because I can't imagine life without you.
"Help me look after our kids.
"Give me strength, as I don't have it.
"We'll carry you in our thoughts and you'll always live in our hearts.
"You gave us the best life and leave us the best memories.
"You'll see me in Noelia's eyes and Triana's smile.
"I love you and I will always love you."
