"I am a shamanic practitioner and we do a thing in shamanic healing where you journey with someone through to the other side. I did that journey with Anna, which was beautiful."After her diagnosis, Anna was understandably very scared, but her mother says Anna came to a point of acceptance when she stopped asking her mum to make her better.
"I told Anna that there was nothing to fear from death, that she would be looked after when the time comes," she said. "After kind of accepting things, she began buying lots presents for people as she was very thoughtful, so much so that more than a month after she passed I was still getting deliveries."
In the last year of her life, Anna's determination shone through, as she continued on with her studies, with her college tutor Mr McMaster proving a great support, went on a trip to London with college, did a tour of the Harry Potter studios, and spent a special day at a donkey sanctuary.When Northern Ireland was put into lockdown, Ms Kearns saw it as a blessing."Lockdown meant Anna got to spend so much time with me, her dad Neil and her sisters Stephanie and Mary.
So she tended to gravitate towards older people, including Helen, cancer support specialist at Cancer Fund for Children, who was a great help to her and who Anna was very close to; Joanne, who helped her throughout secondary school; and Kerrie, from Antrim Hospital.While 2020 has been hugely difficult, Ms Kearns believes her daughter's legacy of kindness, love and compassion will continue to help her, and those who loved Anna, going forward.

I’m so sorry for your loss. COVID or no COVID, losing a child has got to be indescribably horrible. Many prayers for your healing and eventual peace🙏🏾💙
How many more have died because everyone was staying at home to clap the NHS?
😢🙏...
Sad, be consoled in the Lord. May her soul rest in peace amen.
50,000 missed cancer diagnosis during COVID. But SAGE never take responsibility.
May you rest in peace and your Family comes to grips with reality.
Covid restrictions are saving lives claim the Govt?! Don’t believe a word of it!! People with real illnesses are left untreated and dying. The NHS sat on their hands whilst my wife died of cancer. Enough is enough. Covid is worse than cancer? NO!!
Very sad but you did this story a few days ago.
RIP Anna. I I pray that the ever-present comfort of God is felt by your family at this time.
This Child will have Eternal life in Paradise and will take you with her with the Almighty's will
