Derek Draper died a year ago
The beloved husband of Kate Garraway , Derek Draper , passed away a year ago today after a battle with covid-19.
Kate is not shy of addressing these issues, as the 57-year-old has documented her family's ordeal to highlight the difficulties faced by so many across the country, as well as the devastating effects of long Covid. The mum-of-two previously opened up about her husband's final, poignant conversation with their two children before he was rushed to hospital one last time, the Mirror reports.
She continued: "They were so beautiful, the children, about that. They individually had time with him on his own, and Darcey said, 'If dad, you can't do this, it's okay. Don't worry about us'. And I had similar conversations, a chance to hold his hand and smell his skin and hold him all the way through, and some people don't get that.
"In my mind, I'm thinking about the situation with Derek. It actually happens to be the anniversary of his death - one-year anniversary of his death - today, which is a day only relevant to me, but over the last few weeks, the family and I have been talking about the challenges we faced this time last year.
Outlining his plans for the service, the Health Secretary explained: "I was going to say, Kate, I think that's why your story connected with so many people.
