It has been a few weeks since the heartbreaking news of Derek Draper's passing, and Kate Garraway has finally been spotted in public. The Good Morning Britain presenter, known for her bubbly personality and informative reporting, had taken a step back from her duties and the public eye to grieve the loss of her beloved husband. On January 5, Garraway announced that Draper, her partner of almost 20 years, had passed away at the age of 56.
The couple had been through a lot in the past year, with Draper contracting Covid-19 in March 2020 and experiencing severe health complications. He had spent Christmas and New Year's in the hospital, with Garraway and their two children, Darcey and Billy, by his side. Despite their efforts, Draper's condition worsened, and he became known as the worst-affected surviving person of the virus. Garraway had documented their journey in two emotional documentaries, Finding Derek and Caring For Derek.
Now, three weeks after Draper's death, Garraway was seen for the first time. She had met up with a friend, and despite the cold weather, she managed to put on a brave smile. Dressed in a pink coat and beanie, she looked strong and resilient. It was a comforting sight for her fans and well-wishers, who have been sending her and her family love and support.
Next week, the family will be laying Draper to rest, and Garraway was seen preparing for the funeral. She hugged her friend tightly, and it was evident that she was going through a lot emotionally. According to a source close to the family, it has been a challenging time for Garraway and her children. She has been trying her best to stay strong for their sake and has been their rock throughout this difficult journey.
The insider also added that planning a funeral is a time-consuming and painful process, but the day itself will be a celebration of Draper's life. He was a wonderful man, and he will be dearly missed. Garraway and Draper had been married for almost 20 years, and they shared two children together. They were a loving and supportive couple, and their bond was evident to everyone who knew them.
Garraway, who had taken a break from her presenting duties, was bundled up for the cold weather. She and Draper's children were his world, and they have been trying to cope with their loss. In early December, Draper had suffered a cardiac arrest, which was a result of the damage caused by Covid-19. Despite their efforts, he passed away surrounded by his family, with Garraway holding his hand.
After contracting Covid-19, Draper had fallen into a coma and had to be put on a ventilator. He spent 13 months in the hospital, and his health continued to deteriorate as the virus caused various complications. However, his family never gave up hope and stood by his side until the very end. Garraway has been overwhelmed by the love and support she has received from her colleagues, friends, and fans during this difficult time.
