It sounds like Peaches Geldof's husband, Thomas Cohen, is still in a terrible state of mourning.

Just over one week after the 25-year-old British socialite was found dead at home with their 11-month-old son Phaedra, Cohen, Phaedra and their other son Astala have yet to return to the Kent house.

"Tom in completely devastated and simply can't bear the thought of going back to the house," a source tells Hello. "He and her two sons have been staying with his parents since the tragedy and he doesn't want to return home—certainly not at the moment anyway."

Cohen's state of sadness is no surprise since it's only been eight days since her unexpected passing.

On the day of Geldof's passing, Cohen released a statement, saying, "My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday. We shall love her forever."

Geldof and Cohen would have celebrated their second wedding anniversary in September.

Last week, an autopsy was performed on Geldof to determine the cause of death. Results were inconclusive pending toxicology tests, which could take weeks.

Cohen isn't the only family member mourning. Geldof's father, famed musician Bob Geldof, said after her passing last week, "We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is. Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken."
