I kinda agree with you. She’s showing him at his most vulnerable to millions of people. If he’s given his consent then fair enough but I just get a bit of a ‘ick’ feeling about it. Maybe film it at a later date when he’s better, not as vulnerable etc.I feel for her, her husband and the kids especially.
but bloody hell not a day goes by when she doesn’t put a price tag on his dignity and self respect.
this isn’t raising awareness, this is rubbernecking a man who’s been left a shell of his former self with 24/7 care to perform his most basic tasks.
she needs to stop putting all of this online when he’s living it daily.
am I being too judgemental here.
I was interested in their story and wished them well when there was the odd update every now and again. But now I swear I’m seeing daily articles on it with more and more personal details described. Like you say, there’s a fine line and I think that Kate has now crossed it.I feel for her and Derek and appreciate how difficult it must be for them all. It maybe helps her to pour it all out what she's suffering but it's just the fine line between sharing and overkill that's the issue. Many of us have lost our nearest and dearest to the bastard Covid and as such we are having to cope. Others are also having to cope with relatives who have survived but are sadly not the same person they were. Sometimes her constant Derek narrative gets a bit much, and when it's everywhere all the time it can be difficult to avoid.
Yes, that's it exactly. I wish him well in his continued recovery but for some who've lost people seeing it all the time is just a reminder, if they're trying to cope and move forward themselves.I was interested in their story and wished them well when there was the odd update every now and again.

Your post completely focuses on Kate - HER way of dealing with it, HER way of maintaining income, SHE may need to give up work. But where’s Derek in all of this? Yes Kate has obviously had a very hard time, but Derek is the one that has had his dignity and privacy ripped to shreds.I thought the mail articles were just publicity for the book and you can understand why she would want to sell as much as possible. Some of it does seem very personal but perhaps it’s partly her way of dealing with it and partly a way of ensuring she still has some income. Wasn’t there a suggestion she might need to give up work to care for him?
Maybe wrong to focus on her but if she’s caring for Derek and having to work less,who’s paying the bills,who is dealing with their kids and who is putting food on the table......life has to go on to some extent for the kids and if this is a way of allowing that then surely it’s not all bad. It wouldn’t be for everyone to share private details but hard to say what you would do in such a situation until you are in it.Your post completely focuses on Kate - HER way of dealing with it, HER way of maintaining income, SHE may need to give up work.
