'How could I go on like this for another two years? Worse still, how could Derek be trapped like this for two years? The timescale winded me and I'm sure I must have slumped a bit in the chair.'

Kate then recalled: 'I sensed they were trying to wrap things up. But I couldn't take in what they were saying. I wanted space to take it in. I didn't want to wrap up on this level of bleakness.'
