Nigel Latta left his wife Natalie Flynn a love letter before his death, asking her to “promise to find joy”.
The high-profile psychologist and broadcaster died yesterday after he was diagnosed with stomach cancer last September.
The 58-year-old and his wife went to see his oncologist last Wednesday and were told Latta’s body couldn’t take any more treatment, friend Bridgette Tapsell, a bridesmaid at the couple’s 2023 wedding, said.
“He arrived at the appointment optimistic, but pivoted to accepting the news immediately”, Tapsell, who spoke to the Herald on behalf of Flynn, said.
“He was so brave. The whole way through his battle with cancer, he made it easy for everybody. He told Natalie, ‘I’ve had the most wonderful life, I’m happy and I’m at peace’.”
