Deborah Roberts is opening up about what life's been like since Al Roker's health scares.
After more than two months away from the morning show, Roker
on Jan. 6, when he and Roberts sat down and revealed he was"very, very, very sick" and that his mere presence in the studio was major because he proved to be"a living, breathing miracle."show, Roberts tells ET that Roker's back to his old self.That she can joke about it now is a testament to how far they've come since Roker's serious health scares. But he was.
"I think a lot of people don't realize that -- and I never realized that -- that being a caregiver is really taxing, exhausting, frightening, all of those things and I never went through anything like this," she tells ET."And I hope I'll never do it again. But it's tough. It's tough. I'm still kind of, I think, recuperating. I'm still kind of tired.
Roberts says she leaned on her faith in God to guide her in those trying times. Her spirituality, coupled with support from family, friends and colleagues at work, was also proof that Roberts wasn't in this alone, and she couldn't be more grateful. "I would say my faith, my spirituality got me through it," she said."My family got me through it, my colleagues got me through it. Colleagues, many of whom are here today, lifted me up in times when I felt like I just couldn't make it. People were there and texting and emailing and calling, and that made all the difference."
