When my mother died it was back in the time of not locking doors. My husband, kids and I went for a nap one afternoon. We woke to find four plated roast dinners on the kitchen table. Many years later I still well up thinking of that wonderful thought.
People avoid saying things thinking they'll upset you. All I ever wanted to say was, "you can't upset me any more than I already am" ... "please just talk to me" ...
Not everyone wants that,so it's hard from both sides
There has been so many people lost loved ones god help them all including myself i think this all should be a private matter last thing i ever would think of doing is talking to anyone about it i feel for everyone who lost family through covid but the talk about this one person has just been too much and still more talking about it i am sorry if some people dont agree but its the way i feel
I agree
We are not all the same. When my husband died I did not want to see anyone or talk to anyone. I needed to be alone. I know that family and friends want to help but it is best to find out what the person needs or wants.
Condolences to Kate, Darcy , Billy,the rest of the family and all close friends. My heart goes out to you all. Such a wonderful man. Feel proud Kate ,you and the children did all you could. RIP DEREK ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When my Late Wife Sophia passed away in 2012 all I wanted to do was to be alone, everyone is different in the grieving process, sometimes just knowing you’re on the end of a phone is enough. My time was taken up with looking after my 8 year old Son at that time, without him I can honestly say I would be here today 😎
Sending Kate and her two children my deepest sympathy
Very sad news to hear that Derek Draper had died, sending love to Kate and her children at this tough time. R.I.P Derek Draper
So sad on the death of Kate's devoted husband like most of us we have lost loved ones so we know how Kate feels at this time and as she said we should hug our loved ones close ❤❤
Very sad and not unexpected. Love to Kate and children and family, this is a tough time.
Helping anyone through a time of grieving is very, very hard 💔Some people know exactly what to say to give comfort at such a difficult time, I don't always have the right word, but I am there for them in any way I can be x
i lost both my parents quite young, i found friends avoided me but i kept the ones that did not ... its a stage in life a lot of people do to want to acknowledge i think we should speak about it more
Sending love to kate, darcy ,Billy and family. just lost my brother 30 th Dec just 14 months after losing my mum lost 8 people in my family
I've expressed my sympathies for Kate Garraway when the news came out - and I really do sympathise. I recently lost my beloved sister, the last of my family, and as I am single, all my erstwhile pals are all long gone, and I am entirely alone. In one sense Kate is fortunate in having family that can provide each other with comfort. I have no-one, and believe me it is hard.
Perhaps I may be forgiven, but having experienced the almost daily TV update following Derek's Covid attack, my sympathy at that time began to wear thin. I eventually stopped watching the programme - in fact, ALL TV, because it was all celebrity-driven.
Almost three years later, and purely because of Kate's celebrity status, the sad saga continues, and I'd be very much surprised if there isn't a TV programme or a book published to re-tell the story. Where is the sympathy or comfort for the many hundreds and thousands of people who suffered and died, but didn't get the coverage that Kate got.
I'm 76 years old, almost housebound, have a dozen neighbours, and not one has ever knocked my door to see if I'm Ok. Yes, they've gathered around and gawked when I was taken by ambulance to hospital, but has one ever come and asked me if I needed shopping or any form of help? Not in the five years since I became seriously unwell. I've served my community for many years as a police officer. I've served as a church deacon, spending many hours visiting and helping church parishioners, but do any members of the church phone or visit me? No!
While I sympathise with Kate and her family, you may understand why I think celebrity status is great for celebrities, for if that's what it takes to get comfort, they are welcome.
I wonder if I'll survive long enough to see Kate's book come out!
Whilst I sympathise with you I can quite clearly see why people don’t want to visit you . Show some compassion for others and then it may come back tenfold 😡
Both she and her children have lost him twice now. It was obvious he’d suffered a lot of brain damage, they didn’t bring home Derek, they brought home a new person they had to learn to love all over again. My little sister, who was already disabled, suffered a cardiac arrest and massive brain damage, she’s still here and fighting, and adored 28 years later, but the pain of not having the little sister I had for 12 years is still agonising. You have no idea what that family, those children, went through behind closed doors. Kate has done a lot for others and if she’s made some money to make her babies lives more comfortable, good for her. They’d have their dad/husband back in a heartbeat rather than have a penny of it, I assure you.
It is so hard when you loose someone so dear to you ive lost my parents its not easy but i find if you talk about them you can remember them saying something listening to music helps you can remember what they liked listening to josh groban to where you are helped me when my mum passed .such a comfort.
KERCHING KATE!
I lost my husband 3 days into the 1st lockdown. 26th march 2020. It was sudden unexpected. Nobody could visit me, they could only ring. Even my sisters couldnt come here. You know what, i think i was better for not being mollycoddled, i had no choice but to get on with it. The only people that came to my house were the 2 paramedics and then the undertaker, everything else was done over the phone. The only part that upset me the most was only 5 people were allowed at the crematorium, me, my daughter, my son, my son in law and 1 grandson and that was it. 30 to 40 minutes from leaving the house i was back home. The circumstances at that time forced me to stand alone.
❤️
Tragic 😢
That’s awful. I’m so sorry for your loss and the tragic circumstances you had to endure 💔
I'm so so sorry for your loss. You come across as an amazing strong person ❤️. I hope you have grieved. ❤
So sorry for your loss. 💔
Sending much love to Kate and family ❤❤❤
One should be very quiet and let that person reflect and let them talk if they choose to touch them if they wanna be hugged, but sit still it’s letting them know that someone there for them
I noticed Americans say ..I'm so sorry for your loss .. simple and heartfelt. I like it.
We say that as well.
Oh, do you know Kate? If not then mind your own business.
When my mom died a neighbour said the first year will be like a fog I don't remember much of the first year as all I was worrying about was how would I pay the bills then I saw it on eastenders some one said put a fiver away every week and u can pay the bills that's what I did and still do
I think loosing one,s child compared to loosing a sibling is so so different
Sympathies for those who have lost loved ones. Rev 21:3,4 soon death will be no more. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
As my mum used to say “if you can’t say nothing nice, say nothing at all”. Kate showed it as it is in her documentary. It’s as difficult for her and her family as for other people. Money doesn’t make the difficulty go away.
Anything nice
Thinking of you Kate, Darcey and Billy. R.I.P. Derek you will be missed ❤❤❤❤
For gods sake she exploited him for every penny. He'll only be missed by her because she can't make any more money out of his misery...
I lost my big sister back in March last year! My best friend didn’t know what to say! All he did was put his arms around me & hugged me so tight! It was exactly what I needed right then! I am still struggling with grief now! People say it will ease but it doesn’t!
Sending my condolences 🙏🏼💜i lost my mum 4yrs ago its stil so painful for me keep strong x
Comparing there loses of sisters is a completely different loss when you lose a child. There is no comparison because losing your child is the worst most life changing loss a person will ever have to endure. I know first hand of the life altering and devastating losing a child is. There is no grief like it. Don’t compare any grief to the grief of a grieving parent
For god sake how much more have we got to have about this my brother died in my arms aged 26 we had to carry on not fill the newspapers with it .the Queen never got this much coverage .get on with life
agree
Thinking on you Kate and family rembering you all in prayer and thoughts draw near to the Lord Jesus Christ and he will hear your prayers and help you through this difficult time god bless take care
Having being widowed twice I've learned that a lot of people just walk the other way when they saw me. Even just talking about the weather would have been better than clearly crossing the road when they see you
Every nationality deals with death in the their own different way. Some people can be so cold .some people drink themselves to death to cope. Being with your initial family is important ❤️ condolences 🙏 to Kate and family x 💔
Horrible insensitive comments for a women who tried to highlight the awful effects of Covid on her husband shame on you 😢
He never had “covid”
My husband died suddenly on his 60th birthday - people were annoyed because they had lost their doctor telling me that I didn’t understand .To be honest I vomited my way through the first four days ! The worst thing to say is ‘ if there is anything I can do ‘ instead say what can I do ? Don’t cross the road because you don’t know what to say as it is so hurtful to just deny someone .
Why the nasty comments? If you have nothing good to say, dont make any comments. Condolences to Kate and family. May Derek rest in eternal peace.
My mum has lost her husband…father…mother…sister…and countless other family members over the years and friends…
Try asking people like her…..
Its a shame her husband died with his bacterial pneumonia conditon but theres many others in the world that have gone through so much worse…
Sending my deepest condolences ❤
Everyone takes it differently. My Nana died right before Christmas and the day it happened I just went and did what I’d intended to do that day, I just preferred to go ahead with my intentions than just sit around at home
All very sad, but she really must now grieve in private with her loved ones instead of continually giving the media a running commentary on how she feels and all the ins and outs of everything we’ve heard a thousand times. I truly don’t wish to sound harsh I truly don’t but it’s been so excessive the constant updates on his condition and now sadly he’s died it hasn’t stopped.
❤❤❤
Don't say anything at all. Don't even give an opinion. Sometimes, people don't want to hear anything. Just being there can be more than enough
Brendas boy Jamal is in my thoughts a lot. I don’t know why but it is and that’s all I can really say about that. I myself think I’m a tiny wee bit wiser than I thought I was as the start.
That’s all. 💟🥁💟
I was on the verge of getting a T shirt printed saying Grieving is not Infectious! People I thought would support me went into hiding!
I'm not surprised. I'll bet your fun at party's. 🤪
Still milking it.
We all die ,had someone close die two months ago quite horrible how she died,was a relief in a way as she was out of her pain. Same for this guy,and her ,it wasn’t unexpected,she’s had two three years of this ...time move on with all this ! No doubt though we will have a book in pipeline and series!
I'm still surprised on here by how heartless some people can be.
Is she releasing a book about life after derek just after he died. This is vile
Who paid for Emergency Medicare Trip from US to UK,
She must have know this for a long time Derek was very sick not being nasty but there a lot of people going threw the same RIP Derek
Oh my....the empathy....😏
Agreed
Stop milking it kate
