The 40 year old and mother of 2, died at home surrounded by her loved ones.
Since two years ago, she was suffering from an aggressive and rare form of breast cancer.
A walk in solidarity for her and against breast cancer was done in St Julians last January.
The cancer eventually effected her kidneys and even though several attempts were made, she lost her life.
Meanwhile, during these two years Nirvana had sued her Private Consultant for a misdiagnosis.
Nirvana prepared her own funeral and wrote a letter which was read by Fr Claude Portelli at the funeral.
She wrote “Do not wait until you are sick to tell the people you love that you love them…” among other things.
Xarabank has prepared a video about Nirvana which you can view below:

would love to know who Consultant was, as I was way luckier than poor Nirvana, I too was misdiagnosed but was saved by Dr Crockford in time, also due to having lost mother and sister already to dreadful disease RIP Nirvana, did the walk in January although never had the pleasure in meeting you. My condolences to her husband and young family. Life can be so very cruel. MARIELLA PRIVITERA
