The Power of Hope: A Story of Love, Fear and Never Giving Up - Thryft

Intimate journey through love, illness, and resilience.

If you're drawn to stories of real human strength in the face of overwhelming adversity, "The Power of Hope" could resonate deeply with you. Kate Garraway's account isn't just a tale of illness; it's a testament to unwavering love and the fortitude required when life is upended. Her candor in sharing the impact of Covid-19 on her family offers not just insight, but also a connection to the shared global experience of the pandemic, wrapped in a deeply personal narrative. It's inspiring, heart-wrenching, and could offer a source of hope if you've faced similar struggles.

Description

In March 2020, Kate Garraway's husband, Derek Draper, contracted Covid-19 and was placed in a medically-induced coma. Initially, Kate was told that he would not survive. A year later he was still in hospital. Now at home but requiring round-the-clock care, he is thought to be the UK's longest-fighting Covid-19 patient. In this intimate book, Kate shares her deeply personal story. As well as recounting how the illness took hold of their lives, she writes about how she is coping with the uncertainty of their future, how she's supporting her children through this traumatic time, how she has found strength in community and how she strives to hold on to hope even at the darkest of times. Covid-19 has affected everyone across the country in so many ways and Kate hopes that by revealing her own personal experience, it will give comfort to others. By sharing the lessons she has learnt along the way, it will help us all begin to try to re-build our lives. Kate's exceptional courage, positivity and warmth shine through on every page, making The Power of Hope a truly inspiring read that will resonate with all of us whose lives continue to be touched by the virus. THIS EDITION IS UPDATED, WITH NEW MATERIAL ABOUT CARING FOR DEREK AT HOME.
