At times it was a really hard read, and I think it made me panic sometimes as the delta varient was on the increase in our area, but her message is so true. Reading about Derek's life before he became ill and how the virus has overrun his mind and body is very sad. Derek was hospitalised for over 12 months, and due to him contracting Covid in the early stages, unfortunately nothing was known about the what the future held for people and what treatments they were able to receive.

I honestly felt like I was on the journey with them and was lost for words at multiple points in the book, whenever there was a tiny bit of hope in Derek’s progress I felt so positive, even though I knew the updates from his current state. That in itself is worse than the Covid as it’s prolonged, and doctors aren’t sure how long it will last. What an amazing book and what an amazing woman who I saw for years on tv and only recently realised how amazingly strong. I watched the documentary recently, and was intrigued to hear further of how much her and her family have suffered.I found this a very insightful look into the life that Kate Garraway, her husband Derek Draper and their two children found themselves in following him having contracted Covid-19 and how it has impacted on them. My heart goes out to all the survivors of Covid-19 and to the families of those that have passed away. It illustrated how difficult the first lockdown was for every single one of us and how our 'plow on through' attitude was replaced by a feeling of apathy and despair that affected everyone in the countries mental health, that we are still trying to bounce back from and regain our positivity . Kate had and still has 'Hope' that all will be right for Derek and that he will make the best recovery that he can, as he continues on what is going to be an extremely long and hard journey into the future. I really like Kate Garraway and am glad that I listened to, rather than read, her tell her story of their family's struggle through covid and the devastating effects it has had on her husband, Derek.
