I asked Derek if he remembered one of our dates. His face crumpled then I saw tears : KATE GARRAWAY s Covid-ravaged husband lay for months trapped in what she calls the deep ocean of unconsciousness - but then came flickers of life
Last week, Kate Garraway told of the decision to put husband Derek into a coma
Now she has released the second part of her soul-wrenching memoir
Here she recounts the joyous moment when she saw flickering signs of recovery
I’m painfully aware that Derek would have wanted to tell his own story – and one day he still may.
In this book (edited extracts of which are being serialised here), I have tried to do him – and all those who love him – justice.
The help I have received from his brilliant team of doctors and specialists, and from people everywhere, has kept me going. By sharing this with you, I pray that it is in some way useful in tackling the challenges in your life. We all have our own Covid stories.
This is mine.
