Nick wrote about his sister in his new book ‘The Things That Make Us’ and he told Rowey and Bicks there were “a lot of tears”.
“It was really tough to talk about but talking about it is important,” Nicks said.
“In the immediate aftermath of Maddie dying, I found it really hard to remember good times and happy memories and remember her as she was.
“The last seven months in intensive care were so horrific and she became unrecognisable in the end that’s all I could see for a long time — the hospital, the sadness, the struggle,
“Writing the book made me re-live and re-experience all the good times as well.”
