Woman hanged herself after facing 'three most stressful things in life'

Shirley Jensen, hailed as an ‘inspirational leader’ by colleagues, overcame drug addiction to be awarded a first class honours degree and embark on a successful career, first in an auction house and then at a property firm, an inquest heard.

But the 41-year-old took her own life after finding herself unable to cope with splitting from her boyfriend, changing jobs and moving into a flat.

Three of the most stressful things that can happen to a person have happened to me at the same time – I’ve ended a relationship, started a new job and moved house,’ she told her mother.

Facebook pictures from open profile of Shirley Jensen a  woman who beat drug addiction to get a university education and a job as a successful company manageress hanged herself after encountering a house move, job change and broken relationship all at the same time, an inquest heard. Shirley Jensen, 41, had turned her life around after getting caught up in the Scottish drugs scene when she was 18 and obtained a first class honours degree before being hailed an 'an inspirational leader'' by work colleagues at an auction house.

Police broke into Ms Jensen’s home in Stockport, Greater Manchester, after she failed to turn up for work, and found a body and a note reading ‘I’m sorry’. A self-help book entitled ‘Letting Go’ was found next to her.

Ms Jensen, formerly of Aberdeen, was jailed in 1992 for six months for possession of Class A drugs. But after going teetotal at the age of 20, she got her life back on track and helped others get over their own dependence on drugs and alcohol.
