Kate Garraway talks death fears after setbacks husband Derek

Kate’s sad update comes just weeks after she expressed death fears after setbacks for her husband Derek. She explained that despite Derek being back home, the fear of him dying still hasn’t left.

“I’d love to be able to tell you that, since Derek has been home, everything has been easy, that the miracle of him being at home has turned the day-to-day challenges into a breeze,” she told Good Housekeeping.

“But because we keep having emergency setbacks and he’s had to be rushed back into hospital so many times, the fear of him dying has never left us. The unpredictability of his day-to-day condition means we’re living on a rollercoaster,” she then said.

The insider then said that Kate needs to accept she can’t do everything alone and “really needs to take some time out”.

“She’s barely sleeping so she’s exhausted and has been working on automatic mode recently,” they then added.
