I was on sick leave for three short months to care for my 65 year old mum from August to November last year when she passed away after she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. This interview made me cry so much, through absolute admiration and sympathy for Kate and her beautiful, caring children. SO much of what you said resonated with my experience and feelings Ive had before and since her death, sending strength and love to them all ❤️
A beautiful and strong lady. The life partner we would all want by our side in difficult times. Kate you did Derek proud. I hope you are being looked after now. ❤
What a lovely interview Kate qbout talking about what u have been through and qbout ur husband and what ur kids have been through to may they qnd u have so many good memories ❤
I lost my husband suddenly 18 weeks ago he died in front of while I tried to resuscitate him. Yes you can be strong and I went back to work as a nurse but I'm still grieving and I can see myself in Kate. She is putting on a brave face just like I still am she has to do what she thinks is right for her. You shouldn't judge until you have lived it
Your children are extraordinary because of the extraordinary parents who raised them. They are truly lucky to have had the father they had and the mum they still do.
Kate my Mum died in 2020 April 26th from Medical Negligence. I took on caring for my Mum for 13 years and i had many fights with Social Services and the Hospital admin. I would love to come on GMB and speak with you so the public will hear my story. Its heart breaking that we have a care sector that's business profit based instead community based care. Kate you have a heart of Gold. God Be With You.
You are such a selfless person Kate. I send my greatest sympathies to you and your family. You are an absolute inspiration and woman of extreme courage. I'm a consultant in Emergency Medicine with children of the same age as yours. My mental heath has been damaged beyond belief from the covid years on top of all other tragedies that I see and have seen over 30 years in the job. You give me inspiration to be stronger, to pick up and carry on as a middle aged mum with so many stresses in a failing NHS. Thank you for being such an amazing role model. I'm so very sorry for your loss but I'm so relieved that Derek is now in peace. God bless you and your children. ❤. You demonstrate the best of humanity. ❤
I'm 33, I work full time and help care for a terminally ill sister and disabled dad, as my aging mother can't do it alone. Its hard - I see all my friends getting married, buying homes, getting promotions and I'm stuck, life on hold. But it's an extreme honour to help my family despite how hard it gets. Well done Kate!
I'm sorry for your loss. ❤ Don't watch her if it annoys you. I don't watch GMB. Came across this accidentally. I do feel bad for anyone grieving. My husband had covid 3 times each time on ICU with complications and now long covid admitted 9 times this past 4 months struggling to breath heart issues diabetes was fit and healthy previously, not been well enough to work since. I think the fascination is that it all started with covid and as Kate is In the public eye and popular. Rip 🙏 to all who we lost to covid and since due to complications.
Well maybe you don't want to see it but other people do. And maybe they feel something listening to her. Maybe don't watch if you don't want to listen to her. But maybe people need to hear it.
My heartfelt condolences to you all X my heart goes out to you and your beautiful children.well done Darcy X l also carried my beloved dad's coffin along side my brother,the last thing l did for him x
It must be so difficult for Kate. She has battled on all this time. It was so good of her daughter to be a bearer. It must be difficult for her and her brother too. Poor Derrick ❤🌹
I think that Kate is a very strong woman. Her children Darcey and Billy have been so supportive of their parents. I was shocked to see Darcey carrying her Dad's coffin it was very brave of her. How the family have got through this have thoroughly humbled me. Kate, Darcey and Billy have now got to start building their lives now. I really admire Kate, Darcey and Billy bless them all. Lots of love
Kate is a marvel she is incredible, her children are amazing, thats a huge testiment to Kate AND Derek . My thoughts are with her and all the family right now.
What a beautiful & strong human being! Derek was v blessed 2 hve family he deserved. From what we now know, it is criminal that man-made Covid pandemic was allowed 2 break out, in 1st place! Kate now has added purpose 2 become a fantastic & tenacious campaigner, activist & ambassador for unsung professional heroes & heroines of Carers in the UK, so underpaid, undervalued & mostly immigrants. Im so sorry 4 yr loss & millions of others, less fortunate..
Ah Kate I've followed your journey for along time, I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband your beloved Derek.. You are one of the bravest , strong women.. I lost my bestie 5 years ago and still feels like yesterday.. Sending u lots of luv to you and your loveli children x
I cared for my granddaughter with my daughter and her partner. Til she passed 2023 I know what your going through. X. You such a strong lovely woman and your kids. X. Bless you keep strong. X.
So sad god bless you Kate I am filling up .its heartbreaking your children are your strength .darcy is the image of you and so very thoughtful .stay strong .you are such a lovely person
Kate my love too you and your lovely children at this time what you did for your lovely husband was unbelievable please take care look forward to seeing back on gmb this week david ❤
The caring profession is such a hard thing to do i respect all the ones who have chosen this way of life and the ones like you kate who have no choice but to be a carer so I just want to say thank you all it is not a job it is a vocation
Wow theres some evil comments on here, should be ashamed of yourselves, she has the attention because they were both well known simple and plain, and to the person who said shes doing this for cash you got issues mate!!!
Jeez, She IS doing it for cash, she is 'milking' his death for as much as she can, there will be another book in a couple of months, Kate 'My life after Derek', then another documentary, then a book signing, maybe even a musical, & another book 'teaching children to cope with bereavement', & then another book, 'Kate finds love again' , beleive me, this is just the start of her 'cashing in'.
Please stop bleeding the public’s sympathy. You paraded your husbands sickness with constant photos of his dying days and put them in the public domain. So undignified for him and now he’s died your still going on. Let the poor man rest in peace and do your grieving privately now and stop clawing at every opportunity on the public’s sympathy. That’s what close friends and family are for. Go away Kate. Too many people out there who have no one to turn to.
I have sympathy for anyone who has lost their husband, my dad lost his wife my mother very young. It is so very painful, but at the same time, it is a private time. But something that feels so uncomfortable is this over sharing with everyone about Derek. I mean we will never really know the truth on why he passed away, but as long as the whole country believes this was due to long covid, then a sucession of books, documentarys and god knows what else can help paddle this covid narrative. Yes its really sad, but there is no denying she is and will continue to make money off all this oversharing, something just doesnt pass the sniff test, I did hear "problems with addiction" but of course we will never ever really know. This mans very front and centre covid diagnosis did a great job supporting and helping the government paddle there lockdown justifications and keep this scare tactic going. I hope they all find peace and try and deal with this loss privately as a family I think his dignity must be respected at some point.
She's been preparing to lose him for over 3 years. There is a sense of relief when someone so unwell finally passes on. She will have been grieving ever since the doctors told her he wasn't going to get better. She needs some normalcy in her life and she has always worked so that is 'normal' for her. Everyone is different. There is no right or wrong.
She's such a beautiful woman both inside and out. Id love to have a friend like Kate Garraway.
you want to go to specsavers
What a beautiful woman Kate is. Rest in peace Derek. Thinking of all the family❤
there is no rest be to be had in the spirit world lovely

Too many people out there who have no one to turn to.
Big love to Kate and her Family. R.I.P Derek ❤❤❤
I am very sorry for her situation but why oh why air it public all the time. These times should be private
Simple = money, the more that she can drag it out, the more money she makes.
Rest in peace Derek ❤.
I have sympathy for anyone who has lost their husband, my dad lost his wife my mother very young. It is so very painful, but at the same time, it is a private time.

We are all supporting you Kate 🙏wishing you and your family all the best 🙏🙏
Has anyone researched Derrick
Beautiful lady inside & out 💜💜💜💜
Didn’t she flaunt him all over tv
Kate Garraway loyal to the end🤗
What a wonderful wife and mother Kate is God bless her and her children and may Derek rest in piece❤🎉
It's so so sad Joan from Bolton bl21aw 😢
Amazing Kate God bless you & kids .RIP derek
I really think Kate should take some time. Think she is still in shock. GMB should be concerned. Grief isn't straight forward.
Maybe it's how she will cope keeping busy .. only she knows how she feels
She's been preparing to lose him for over 3 years. There is a sense of relief when someone so unwell finally passes on. She will have been grieving ever since the doctors told her he wasn't going to get better. She needs some normalcy in her life and she has always worked so that is 'normal' for her. Everyone is different. There is no right or wrong.
