Shauna
Shauna was a great person she loved life loved people especially children . Shauna had gone on to Queens University to study to become a nurse she graduated in June of 2000. Shauna was offered a job in the Intensive Care unit in Antrim area hospital . She loved the job but like all other jobs she had a lot of stress especially in this field were she had to deal with people being critically ill and in a lot of cases her patients dying. Shauna was a compassionate nurse and would often spend many nights sitting by the side of terminally ill patients. She wanted no one under her care to be lonely or scared .
Shauna loved all children especially all her nieces and nephews they were her life . She loved to spend time with all of them.
Shauna was engaged to be married to the love of her life Anthony. They had bought a home together went on hoildays every year life was good.
Sadly in October of 2004 Shauna began suffering from bouts of depression.We as a family have no doubt this was a direct result of how an incident was handled at work.Shauna was left feeling very disillusioned with her employers;to whom she felt she had given100per cent.Ultimately the support Shauna needed was not given. This was the beginning of the end. On the morning of the 6th January Shauna decided to take her own life.
It has been 9 months since Shauna took her own life ,you have some good days and some really bad days when you are consumed with her death maybe you could have stopped her . You feel guilty for not talking to her long enough,maybe I should have called that night.We realize now she had signs of some one who was severally depressed.Her family and fiance miss her every day. Life is not the same anymore . Mammy is heartbroken as is Anthony the loss is terrible . Shauna was given to us for 27 years I just wish we were given another 27 years more. We miss her more than words can say. We know that she is looking after all those little babies in heaven. Until we meet again love you, miss you so much
