Ever since the heartbreaking news of her husband Derek Draper's death, Kate Garraway has been receiving immense support from her colleagues at Good Morning Britain. The 57-year-old presenter announced the passing of her beloved husband in January this year, after a long and difficult three-year fight with Covid-19 complications. As she continues to navigate her grief, Kate has been open about the challenges she faces and how she is trying her best to focus on their two children, 18-year-old Darcey and 14-year-old Billy.
One of her closest friends and GMB co-host, Charlotte Hawkins, recently shared her perspective on how Kate is coping with the devastating loss. Having experienced the loss of her own father to motor neurone disease, Charlotte understands the constant pain that comes with losing a loved one. She also commended Kate for her strength and resilience in the face of such a tragedy, saying, "It's not about getting over it, but learning to live with it."
Derek, who had a successful career in politics before becoming a psychotherapist, spent over a year in the hospital and required around-the-clock care for the following three years after being diagnosed with Covid-19 in March 2020. Kate has been open about the difficulties of dealing with her husband's illness and eventual passing, but has also emphasized the importance of staying busy and seeking support when needed.
In a recent interview with The Mirror, Kate shared that she is "trying to keep busy" and that there will come a time when she will have to pause and fully process her loss. She also acknowledged that it's okay to ask for help and that sometimes, it takes multiple attempts to reach out and receive support.
As she continues to grieve, Kate has been touched by the outpouring of love and support from her colleagues and fans. And while the journey ahead may not be easy, she knows that she is not alone and has a strong support system behind her.
Good Morning Britain, which airs on ITV1 from 6am on weekdays, has also been a source of comfort for Kate as she navigates through this difficult time. The show has been a constant presence in her life, providing a sense of normalcy and routine amidst the chaos.
