why cant you still be here?? / Lyndsay (lukes mummy )
1 Long year on and i still cant believe your gone...christmas was strange i still half expected you to pop your head round the door and see that big smile of yours on christmas morning,coming with armfuls of presents for luke,i never knew who was more excited you or him.what a special bond you had with my son,he absolutely idolised you and still does to this very day. it breaks my heart knowing that he will grow up never fully knowing what a very special person you really were, I hav'nt been back to your grave since that awful day the truth is i have'nt had the courage but thats not to say i dont think about you every day. ive spent most of the day reflecting on the past year, all the different things that have happened and how i miss your always honest advice.i find it hard to talk about you or even listen to anyone else talk about you, ive cried most of my tears for you in bed,alone because i dont want anyone else to see.you done me the greatest honour of being lukes god mum and it tears me apart to think that you'll not be there to walk by his side through life.words will never express how much i miss you shauna,watch over me and keep luke safe forever,ill see you in my dreams chick

VALENTINE'S BLESSINGS & CARE SWEET SHAUNA XO / Jane Einarson (I care ) Close
Sympathy/ Visitor (none)
My heart aches for your family. I lost a close family member to suicide many years ago, and I asked myself all those same questions, could I have?, Should I have? all I can tell you is that it is easy to look back and see the signs but in the course of everyday life we may miss them or dismiss them. Please know that the guilt and doubt is a normal part of grieving for suicide survivors. It will ease, eventually. Someday your pain will not feel so raw. I cannot tell you it will be easy, nor will it happen quickly, but in time with God's help it becomes bearable. Keep your precious memories in your heart and a part of Shauna will always be with you. Prayers of strangers are being offered in your behalf that you will find peace in your heart. God Comfort and Keep you. Close
Hello Shauna / Martin (Brother-in-law)
It's 01:30am on New Years morning and last year seems like yesterday. I can still see you with Emma in your arms and you smiling and laughing away making us all happy as the new year arrived. The next week will be the hardest for us all Shauna so you may help us all out. I am missing you so much. Sometime again we will get that chance to go for an afternoon drink we missed out on. Until then you are always in my thoughts. Close

Christmas/ Lisa Murchan
Dear Shauna, just want to let your family know i'm thinking of them during Christmas. Unfortunately we're in the same situation and words can't comprehend the hurt and sadness we are all still feeling having lost our two Shauna's. Hope they are happy in heaven and helping us in their own wee ways. Happy Christmas, Lisa xx oo xx Close
It is 2.00am officially Christmas in Ireland and we begin the day we have dreaded since you left us. We miss you terribly and no one can understand the grief and hurt we have today . I truly believe it is our children that keep us going . Give us all the strength to get through this day and let us know you are with us. Love you and miss you so much
Nobody knows what we feel in times like this, it does not get any easier round this time of year. Today I placed a small Christmas tree upon your grave thinking why! Why you have gone, no but why you should miss out on your special time of year. It may of been hard but still it had to be done! It is hard to realize you have gone knowing that your not there to help when I need you most, knowing that I have to go shopping without you this year. I will always remember the time we spent together though the years knowing you were there for me when I needed you. You were one of the best friends I ever had times will be hard without you.

WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU... / Leeanne Paoli (Friend of Brenda )
WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU... When i must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years. But start out bravely with a gallant smile: And for my sake and in my name.. Live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And i in turn will comfort you and hold you near: And never, never be afraid to die, For i am waiting for you in the sky!
Our condolences to the Hannaway Family, Anthony and our dear friends Brenda & Tim.

The Loan of a Child / Sinéad Hegarty (Cousin)
I've lent you for a little while a precious child God said, For you to care for while she lives and mourn for when she's dead. She brought her love to gladden you and though her stay was brief, You must have many memories as solace for your grief. I could not promise she would stay since all from earth return. But there were lessons taught by you I wanted her to learn. So I searched the whole world over in my search for teachers true, And from the throng that crowds life's lane the one I chose was you. I knew you'd give her all your love and not think your labour vain, Nor turn against me when I came to take her home again Close

Funeral Blues / Linda Duffy (Shauna Sister )
The following poem was read at Shauna funeral by her sister Linda.
Funeral Blues
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever; I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood,
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
MY CHILD / SELMA FLYNN(POMC) BOBBO.MEMORY-OF.COM (FRIEND)
"MY child
On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked alot of whys??
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide, I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again,
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious child, Close

Words Left Unsaid / Brenda Callahan (Sister)
Shauna
I didn't get to say "goodbye", And all the words I wanted you to hear. I should have said them when I had my chance, But I thought that you would always be near.
I ran out of time to let you know, Just how much you meant to me. I should have told you, but I thought you knew, But now I will never know, if you really did see.
When l talk to you in my prayers at night, I hope you can hear all I have to say. I would have told you, if only I could, Have had you back for one more day.
Perhaps there were words you wanted to say also, That were left unsaid by you. But I do know that you loved me, As you knew that I loved you too.
We should always say what we feel in our heart, As tomorrow may never come. Speak those words today as you feel them, And never lose your chance to tell someone.
Tributes and Condolences
Sweet beautiful Shauna...........I wish you eternal happiness and peace on this one year marker of your passing. I hope that you have met Candice and there is laughter and joy every single day. Gone is the sadness from inside. Please help us all left behind to understand.
