The struggles of Derek Draper's recovery from Covid
Kate Garraway has shared the difficulties she faces as she continues to care for her husband, Derek Draper, who has been battling the effects of Covid since early 2020. After spending 13 months in the hospital, Derek's condition remains critical, and Kate is concerned about his ability to breathe efficiently, as well as his recent episodes of choking.
Living as a "shell of a person"
Since Derek returned home from the hospital, Kate has devoted her time to his around-the-clock care, leaving her with little time for herself or socialization. Speaking to the Sunday Times, Kate described herself as a "shell of a person," highlighting how work has become her only escape and therapy.
The loneliness of caring for a loved one
Kate also expressed the loneliness she feels, acknowledging that many others find themselves in similar situations due to unfortunate circumstances. She emphasized the importance of championing the cause for those navigating through the care system, as she knows firsthand the struggles and stresses involved.
Pressing on for Derek's sake
Despite her own doubts and fears of failure, Kate remains determined to fight for Derek's recovery. She opened up about her worries but reaffirmed her commitment to his well-being.
A bittersweet recognition
In a poignant moment, Kate was awarded an MBE in June 2023 for her contributions to broadcasting, journalism, and charity. Just days after receiving this honor, she revealed that Derek had been rushed to the hospital once again.
