Nicola and Mark Nuttall’s 18-year-old daughter Laura found out she had only 12 months to live, following a diagnosis of the most aggressive form of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme. This diagnosis changed the family forever. But while they struggled to adjust and searched for new treatments, Laura made a decision: she would live her life to the full and embark on an extraordinary bucket list. With the help of her parents and her sister Gracie, Laura was able to achieve those goals and make the most of her remaining time.
Nicola Nuttall has written a heartbreaking but beautiful memoir that shows us the power of love, the resilience of the heart and spirit, and what Laura’s journey has taught her about love, life and loss.
Just before Laura’s death in 2023, Nicola spoke to us on the When You Die Podcast about her daughter and how a diagnosis isn’t just for the person who is ill, but those who love them as well.
Find out more about Laura in a website dedicated to her and the foundation that was created in her name.
The book is available on Amazon, Indigo and in bookstores.
