Very sad news, I hope he’s at peace now, but her statement was all me, me, me.

Also "I have so much more to say, and of course will do so in due course" just horrible and reaks of how much money can I make from this?

And why not? She's a single parent now,well has been for 4 years truth be told. She will need to financially support her children.

It’s the language of the statement. The man isn’t even cold in the ground yet and she’s implying she’s ready to make deals.

Also this is Kate Garrway, a woman with a very long and very varied media career that hasn’t gone away. Her ability to financially support her children is still there. She’s not suddenly destitute.
 
I know this is a weird slant but I wonder if her “I have so much more to say” might be her getting ready to slam the government for their woeful handling of all the Covid stuff.
I don’t know, maybe she put that in there to prime us for a longer post, or a tribute she thinks would be more fitting, I dunno.
Perhaps she’s felt like she can’t go to town on the government because she’s a journalist, or he was so closely linked with Labour, and now he has actually died from complications without question due to Covid she feels the gloves are off now?
I know that giving her the benefit of the doubt on THIS thread may seem optimistic in the extreme, because I do actually agree with the thread title.
But I also think her head’s probably a mess and if she does give the government both bleeping barrels and that’s what the “so much more” she has to say is - well more power to her.

I’m not sure she would do that because of her job. They seem to be a pretty sympathetic employer but if she came straight out and blamed the government for her husband’s death, given the nature of the show it probably wouldn’t go down too well.

And we don’t know for certain that it was as a result of COVID. It’s been spoken about here before but there could have been other health factors and if that is the case, the Government would probably work their way out of any allegations on that front

Give the woman a break fgs he's not even cold yet and you're speculating what she "will" do, let her and the family grieve together and get past the funeral, none of us know her personally and it's pretty rude to speculate she's just gonna milk his death for monetary purposes

Her record IMO suggests that she'll milk it for all it's worth.

I posted in this thread a few times before he died saying she was milking it and exploiting him and robbing him of dignity. My opinion hasn't changed after Derek's death.

I'm glad he's no longer suffering. He obviously didn't have any quality of life left. His poor kids though, I really feel for them.

I can't believe that announcement though. Not a single thing about Derek, the type of person he was, what a good father he was, the mark he left on the world. And I'm blown away that it wasn't enough to just say his family was by his side in his final days. She has to put herself above them by making sure everyone knew it was HER who was holding his hand when he died, not anyone else.

How heartbreaking to suffer so much for all those years and then not even get a fitting tribute to your life from the woman who loved you.

Totally un related to kate but interesting second part of this comment.i lost my dad on nye ,I'm 34 and very fragile mentally wise before my dad's cancer.ive been kept in the dark from my mum alot about his treatment and the latter part of your comment.im taking it the patient has to sign they don't want resusatsting? My mother led me to believe the hospital weren't going to resuscitate due to my father having many other health issues.id never heard of it before as my dad was of sound mind no dementia etc.im so sorry to totally derail but I've not been able to get any sense out of her.i know I should of asked medical staff but I guess I didn't want to hear that my dad would rather not be resuscitated due to his health than fight on for us all.sorry if this makes no sense I only lost him on nye and I just can't make sense of most of his journey.i think my mum has done this to avoid me being hospitalised myself again :(

I am so very sorry for your loss. It is so painful and you are in shock. Take things a day at a time and be as kind to yourself as possible. Nothing useful to add but I lost my lovely Mum quite quickly in April so I understand what you are going through and it’s hard. Sending love x
 
I am relieved for Derek that his immense suffering for the last 3 years is finally over. Felt the same last year when my mother passed away. It's no life when you're constantly in pain and having infections, and as much as my mother suffered, Derek would have suffered far more, and for longer . Naturally though it is very sad for his family and particularly his children. I hope they can all gain at least some solace in the thought that he is finally out of his suffering and at peace.
