She expressed her feeling as an incredible experience. She felt her emotions were intensified to an extraordinary level.
She confided in her colleagues Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid, revealing that she was informed about Draper's limited lifespan, which turned out to be a month before his eventual passing.
Draper, who formerly worked in politics and provided psychotherapy, passed away last month at 56 years old.
It was reported that he had been one of the patients in the UK who had COVID for the longest period of time. He contracted the virus in March 2020 and was hospitalized for 13 months.

On Friday, a group of famous people and politicians showed up to attend the funeral of the teenager's father. The young person was also among those who lifted and transported the coffin during the ceremony.
According to Garraway, both of the kids had some alone time with their dad. Garraway also mentioned that Darcey exhibited courage by saying "It's fine if you can't handle this."
When asked about her daughter's participation as a pallbearer during the ceremony, she expressed admiration saying "She was adamant about being a part of it, and I found it to be a touching gesture."

An event that makes time seem to stand still.
When she was informed that Draper was unable to pull through a major setback in his health, she explained the sensation she experienced by stating: "It was a situation where I wanted time to freeze, one of those moments where everything else should cease to exist."
When asked about how she coped with taking care of her husband for four years, she admitted that she may not have done a great job. She revealed that she leaned on others for support, just like many of us do.
I feel like I owe a great deal of gratitude to many individuals, especially to Derek. His determination and resilience to persevere through challenges was truly remarkable. He never expressed any negativity towards attempting or accomplishing tasks.
"The children also deserve recognition for their exceptional behavior."

Regarding Darcey and Billy, she said: "We understand that they are grieving and we acknowledge that there is still a lengthy journey ahead of them."

In my opinion, there are individuals who may ask: Why are you returning to your job? However, is it not true that everyone needs to work? Life has to resume at some point.
