Beautiful words guys. Like many I feel the loss of a close friend although we never met. As well as random acts of kindness I feel we all have a responsibility to not just ignore it when we see cyber bullying (something I am guilty of) , but to confront it head on. I will never turn a blind eye again, it’s time to show these cowards that their behaviour is not acceptable. Lee, you have made me a better person - this is part of your legacy.
Lee was so looking forward to that trip with you two in Custard the bus. It’s true what you’ve said... she was EASY to love deeply without even meeting her in person and yet I know that when you all did finally meet you’d have LOVED her even more. A true bright light. One in a million. Big hugs to you both for this beautiful tribute to Lee. She’s so proud of you for speaking up and continuing her work in ending the stigma that surround mental health. Wish we were closer to join you for those very healing swims. So much love 💛🌞🌻
Eamon&Bec im a big fan of yours i was intraduct to your chanel by my good friends at kinging it as meand Aimee are good friends i have had the plesher of meeting lee at one of your chaiwala pop ups. it wasn't a long talk but it was long enuf to meet her see that weather it is 5min10 or even 20+ years she was a loving caring person and let me tell you even though i never got the chance to meet you eamon& bec she did have such grate words for the both of you. so Id just like to say thank you for starting the chaiwala bizzness so that i had the plusher and gratefulness to meat a loving caring well spoken lady
Both my hands are on my heart for you two. Since I learned of Lee's passing, I've been sending out love, comfort and strength your way during my daily meditations.
My God!!! To hear that sweet, beautiful, and kind Lee endured cyber bullying makes me furious!!!! There was absolutely nothing wrong with Lee!!! She was a lovely and smart young lady!!!
It’s unthinkable that Lee was bullied on line for advocating mental health. It breaks my heart. Thanks for the important message. It matters. And has impact on those whom struggle.
One important thing you showed in this video Craig...men are alowed to cry too...most men still think they have to hide their tears to be strong but it is strong to show your feelings! P❤
This is one of many stigmas we want to squash. Our brilliant Lee affected the lives of both men and woman and it's not right that only woman should feel allowed to cry. ❤️
I’ve never met Lee, but followed her online for YEARS. The day I found out about her passing I was devastated. I know she’d want us to live our lives to the fullest, so after I wiped my tears, I bought a dress that I was too scared to wear because I was worried about what others would say. Life is short, so live it up ❤️
Absolutely right decision! Dress like a divine queen! Others stop thinking about your value, at the point you feel your truthfulness! Remember: Everything in the outside that triggers you, is a chance to heal. Love yourself first! ❤️
there have been lots of tears for Lee. The irony is she'd have been surprised and overwhelmed at the love, and also have rushed to help everyone who is devastated. Too cruel. take care :-)
I'm new to the story of Lee, even though I've been watching her videos. I never knew she was cyber bullied. How can this be possible even? - that gorgeous gorgeous girl was so lovely. In fact she brought me to your channel. Lee was beautiful - I felt Lee was real. Btw, I love Wales and was there a few weeks ago with my grand daughter. Take care, stay safe and stay real, Oh and congratulations on your recent news.
It is so real, having suffered for many years myself, and slowly over coming,with Wim Hof breathing, grounding, and taking myself off the medications.. there are other treatments that work, like wim hof and gives you a sense of control back in your life.. and men speak about it, so many suffering in these crazy times.. love to you both and respect for making more aware of this very real condition..
LEE was full of life. Every time I see anybody talking about her makes me really emotional but at the same time I want to hear it out. Cant still digest she is gone. RIP you little angel.
I know both of you have suffered mental health issues with stress etc., and knew this would affect your hearts. This was a beautiful tribute to Lee and I am so sorry she felt she couldn’t be here anymore. Cyber bullies have sad lives and need help in a different way.
Such a dear sweet sincere girl ! I am so very sorry she stepped out of her life this way ! I never met her but binged on her video’s. Thank you for speaking up for her and for mental health in these difficult times. 💕🙏
Thank you so much for speaking up for Lee and Mental Health. It's real and mental health needs to be brought to the table.First and formost.Mental health is real let's help one another.!!! You both are beautiful people and Lee's hope of building a community is coming alive.❤❤ I am a 62 year young woman who believes that we all have a responsibility to be kind to one another. Be that , that you ask the universe for. Give back and be kind !! Namaste ❤
This is a lovely tribute. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I'm so sorry for the loss everybody is feeling. Lee is so very loved by many across the world. I am sad that the hurting outpowered that for her that day. Sending love to you both. You wonderful thoughtful beings. The cold sea dip was beautiful.
Hello guys. I discovered you literally a week ago, when I was little bit struggling with school and stress. It was nothing horrible, but I needed some kind of reminder that I rule my own world. After the first video I watched I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. I immediately felt like I know you guys for years and you really helped me in just one week. I "met" Lee just few days ago and I have no right to say that I knew her, but it really feels like it, so I cried with you during the video. I am so sorry for your loss and so glad that you speak about this. One of my family members really struggled with mental health. Thanks god we managed to help her, but it was a tough journey. Mental health is nothing to be ashamed of and we all deserve to live the life we want. To rule our own world. Thank you that you remind us of this every day.
Lee Max Occy was the first to view van life. I got my van in February getting it ready for the road and will share build and life. Lee was loved and will be missed. My love going out to Max and friends families, sorry for your lost. BE KIND
I adore you two. I have a huge mental health warrior and advocate. Its refreshing to see a beautiful couple showing their souls. Love you guys even more 🤍🤍🤍
I can't remember feeling so heartbroken & crying over the passing of someone I had never met - that was Lee ... Bless her beautiful soul ~ she is free now and she'll soar forever and a day. Thank you for this touching and loving video - we must all #speakupforlee (and each other)! 💖
So sweet. Just came here after your visit to Eamon and Bec. As a mental health professional, I would say that you are on the right path. Love and continuing success. Love from Vegas. RedPat ❤️💙💜💚💛
Thank you for speaking up for Lee. If only she could have known how much we loved her. I'm proud to be Canadian and all of the Canadian vanlifers represent us well. She will be missed dearly. You both are an inspiration to me, your kindness and sincerity is something you should be proud of. I have loved your dynamic relationship together, from the first video of yours I watched. Sending you lots of love. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
She knew how much she was loved. Mental illness will take you even when those that love you most are there to catch you when you fall. It’s a suffering like no other and even though everyone’s journey is different. Those that also suffer can relate to the pain and emptiness. The weight can be just too heavy. The feeling of being a burden is constant even when the people in your life love you and want to be there for you.
My heart goes out to all who knew and loved Lee, so sorry for the loss you feel, she was obviously a very special lady. Craig and Amiee you are beautiful people inside and out you tell it like it is, love watching you both. Big hugs ❤️
Mental health always carries a stigma unfortunately, the thing is no one should judge because it can happen to anyone it can creep up on you and then hits you like a ton of bricks. It’s so much easier for people to be nasty or become distant with you, because in their eyes you’re weak. A favourite saying I’ve heard is “give yourself a shake or get a grip” which really doesn’t help most people walk away only true friends stick around and give support, which can be as simple as making a cuppa and a chat. God bless Lee xx
Truly....it says more about that person(bully) than it does about the one who puts their self out there. Thank you for putting it there, information on Cyber bullies, bullies in general and what we can do to help.
I never knew Lee for real, but I thought that she's such a sweet and caring person and had the prettiest soul ever- But bullying on the net is so easy- sitting anonymous behind the screen with some taken name. But actually it's quite simple, never say anything to anybody that you wouldn't say if you stand face to face with the person. As you probably know ny know, I'm a silly, but very friendly old man. I can always find something positive to say and never anything negative. Thanks for speaking out for Lee to make us all understand what an amazing person she was 🤗😍💐
Prayers for lee. While I don't personally have mental health issues my husband does due to military deployments . I struggle with chronic illnesses and a lot of pain so thank you for making this video . 🐦
Since I saw the news, Lee has just been in my thoughts so often! For me she was someone that was so beautiful and seemed to have the world at her fingertips and for her to just be gone is almost to much to comprehend, so I can’t even imagine how you all must feel 😢 Thank you for all the love, laughter and kindness you bring to the world ❤️
Guys really touching tribute to Lee , I never met her but have followed her though you and Eamon and becks . Sorry for your loss and all Lee’s friends and family. 💔❤️
It's great that people like you speak up against all the hate that is being spread on social media. We also make travel vlogs. It's hard making videos and putting them out there. But the comments people come up with... Whatever happened to: If you don't like it, just click away and do something else? Be kind, be compassionate and share some love.
Sending so much love to everyone here. I still can’t wrap my head around Lee’s loss. She is and was precious. Thank you, loves, for this lovely tribute.
Rest in Power Lee. You were a such a light in this world. I met you through Eamon and Bec’s life and fell in love with you on the spot. Your light was so bright and drew people to you because of your kindness, honesty and love for people. You will be missed my love. Big love 🔆🧚🏼♂️✌🏽🌸🕊🪶🪔✨
Mental health, bullying, terrorizing is a world wide issue. Thank you for sharing this message. The people in power aren't doing much to help so it's up to us to make the changes. I didn't know Lee, clearly I missed out. It's a shame to lose a good person when the world send so full of bad ones. #SpeakupForLee
Lee was such a bright person, I was shocked to find out how she decided to exit this world. As someone who has survived both sides of this issue, I do get to toss a vote out there. As I learned, suicide is long term solution to a short term problem. It’s terrible to see that the brightest lights make the largest targets. Tender hearts break the easiest, you must know how dark her outlook was...I can’t believe that she meant to hurt the train’s crew who must live with the knowledge that they played an unwitting role. This is nature’s law of unintended consequences. She did not set out that day to make it one of the worst in that crew’s lives...but it happened...now, those of us who are still here have a roll to play in helping those in need. In my case, I received excellent mental health care at just the right time, and, I knew I would have no say so as to who would be the first to find me etc. if anyone ever wants to talk about what they are feeling, OR NOT FEELING, please reach out, even to me. Take care.
Just rewatched this sweet testimony. Y'all brought tears to my eyes yet again. Three years ago a course of TMS (Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation) helped me with my depression.
Cyber bullying has to stop, no-one should be made to feel so bad that the only way to escape it, is to end your life, I didn’t know Lee but it really affected me listening to you talking about her, she sounds like she was an amazing woman. Something needs to be done to stop this, I suffer with mental health issues so I know how hard it can be to reach out but for anyone reading these comments who is struggling, please reach out, talk to someone, there is so many people who want to help you ❤️ RIP Lee Xxx
I want to understand this so much. Can you give an example of bullying? I haven't come across it. Makes me feel terrible that people are so mean. They need to be called out so they know that words hurt,
So sorry to hear the loss of your friend Lee. Having lost my son to suicide and struggled with mental health issues most of my life I know how important it is to speak up and equally important for people to try to reach out and listen which equally isn't always easy.
Oh God... I hadnt heard.. She was such a kind person( from what I saw in my hermit hut). How could anyone bully someone like that!?! Absolute monsters. That poor soul...
Amazing how one person can touch so many hearts. Big love for "Kingin it" Depression hits harder than most can comprehend. A problem shared is a problem halfed. Help one person to help many. Huge love and respect for an amazing soul love you Lee ❤️. #speakupforlee
I’m still heartbroken over Lee’s passing 💔🤍 This is a beautiful tribute to her. Lee, her words and videos, touched me so deeply, I will forever miss her
Sorry for your loss. Very brave of you both to open your hearts. We can see how much this has affected you. I think this has touched many of us because of our own struggles. You are highlighting how wonderful she was but don’t underestimate how wonderful you guys are. Be kind to yourself. Sending love and hugs.
Such beautiful words spoken from the heart. We never had the chance to meet Lee but messaged online - she was an amazing person and the world wont be the same without her. She did a wonderful post saying that just because she put's herself online doesn't give people the right to say what they want. There is a fine line between freedom of speech and hate speech. We all need to stand up again cyber bullying. As content creators we should not accept personal or hate speech, it is not ok !!! We need to all stick together. Hopefully RUclips also does more to prevent videos that encourage cyber bullying. I am sure Lee would have loved your video and I am sure she would be heading your way for a rocking tour of Wales with you. Sending big virtual hugs - Chris & Marianne xxx
I found the 2 of you through Eamon & Bec and every video I seen about Lee just shatters me and makes me sob. As someone who lives and often struggles with my mental health - this is terrifying. If someone who appeared to love life as much as she did can lose the will to keep putting one foot in front of the other...how can I? But I just keep doing it...if not foruswlf them for tribe who loves and supports me no matter what. Tha k you so much for sharing ❤
I was deeply affected by Lee’s death. I had watched her videos and was inspired by her adventures. It’s amazing that someone like her can touch people all over the world. Bless you for your beautiful tribute to your dear friend Lee. Her memory will be a blessing to so many. peace to you.
Thank you for posting this. Brave of you to step in front of the camera. I’m crying everyday for this beautiful girl I didn’t know. I’m just so sad she didn’t have have the strength to face another day. Shame on the bullies. This culture has to stop. Much love to you xx
It is so incredibly sad to hear this about Lee .. a beautiful soul,such a young Life cut short ......its such a hard thing to accept for those family & friends that are left to live with out their loved ones ,the constant grief ,it never leaves ,my own friend Jonathon took his own life a few years ago ,we had no idea what he was expriencing ..we must look out for each other ,seriously what else is there really if we cannot do that for one another ...thank you for yoru words ,all wonderful tributes from you both & Eamon & Becs . " The greatest lesson of all ,is to love and be loved in return " ...from what I have seen & heard about Lee ,she definitely reflected that for sure ..rip beautiful Lee . Infinite love to you Paula Pixie Moss x
Depression was so hard to cope with when I had loving, supportive people around me but I can’t imagine what it would be like to read online negative comments from complete strangers. As you said, something needs to be done about that.😡Thank you for all that you are doing to spread the word that it’s okay to say “l’m not okay”. Mental health issues need to de-stigmatised and allow people to talk about how they feel. Sending Lee’s family and friends so much love ❤️❤️❤️
This is so poignant right now. I just lost a childhood friend a little over a week ago who loved and lived life in a similar way as Lee. Thank you for sharing this. It's important to celebrate our loved ones
Clifton, my heart is grieving for you. May the memory of your friend bring sweetness and joy to your life. I hope that the sadness will lift to a place in memory that does not bring you down, but that it will lead you to recognize the gift that your friend gave, just by being. It is so hard to have a friend leave.
She is a free spirit now. Far away from the bully, free of going where ever she wants to go, with no pain, no need of the human drugs to try to stop a pain that cannot be seen or heard. She is free and if she feels the need, she can come back stronger and with a brighter light. 😌💗
A life that touches others goes on forever....I hate that some people feel 'safe' spouting god awful comments online, things they would never dream of saying face to face and things that would horrify their friends and family if they knew. Shame for themselves and empathy for others seems non existent. Bless you both for baring your pain and grief, hold on to each other and carry her with you always xxx
So glad u two are focusing on all the wonderful times u spent w her. Cyberbullies, who cares?? Don't let them affect u w their negativity, you're better and bigger by far😌
I suffer...a lot....mental health issues are real...I suffer a lot...people don't realize...what we go through....ready to give up...I love you guys so much!! Thank you...
Well said guys!!!! Bullying in all its form is the darkest form of human condition. You two are the most beautiful hearted people and this video is so so so valuable and beautiful and strong xxxx
Like so many others, I only knew of Lee through the online world but her passing has hit me hard. It has also made sadly realize how low I have been feeling and that I should get some help. I’ve spent most of my life being ashamed of the thought of being depressed and not being able to deal with it on my own. Thank you again for this, a lovely tribute to a beautiful soul 💗
Thank you! This is such a beautiful tribute for Lee, I never met her and I was devastated by the news of her passing, she’s so powerful I felt like I lost a sister. She’s in my heart and I’m my mind daily, as well as her family, Max, Jordan & Eamon and Bec. She’ll always be remembered, May Lee Rest In Peace.
This is beautiful 💖 WoW...so much love out here for Lee! I am 1 of those that never met her but thru her vids it was easy 2 c her precious soul!!! I suffer as well from mental illnesses so i know the struggle...always putting others 1st n loving so hard n always smiling on the outside but suffering so badly inside n u can get all the help but sadly its an everyday, all day, ongoing battle u fight every single day and truth b told prob will till the end. 😞 it is NO joke!! Thanx 4 this n much love n prayers 2 u both!! God bless 💛💛
So so sorry for yours and Eamon and bec’s loss, i had seen her a handful of times in their videos but could tell she was a strong support and kind friend. Mental health problems need to be talked about more often and when I saw she had passed away it made me think, someone may have all the awareness of their problems and be getting help but sometimes it isn’t enough. We all just need to be there for each other so much more, even if that is just to sit or walk in silence, the sense of knowing someone has your back can help I believe. I work as a mental health nurse and a few years ago did an event trying to reduce the mental health stigma for young people. It’s still a complex thing to break down but bit by bit things are getting better. Sending you all love and you are right, peoples outside world may look great but it’s the inner work that is the most important and the communities and support we have x
I recently lost my best friend, I know the physical pain of losing someone and never quite feeling whole. I watched a few videos of Eamon & Bec’s where Lee was staying with them and her dog in their tiny van.. she had an infectious smile and was so fun to watch. Sleep peacefully Lee ♥️🕊
am sorry to read of your grieving. losing good friends is horrid. I've lost more than I can count on one hand to cancer. When the time is right, Eamon & Bec, the VanWives and our lovely Kinging-It, and many others will carry Lee's torch forward. The outpouring of grief shows there are wonderful people in our global village, who want to do good and to share compassion. Lee is alive in all of us mourning her loss.
"If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" is how I was raised, along with "Do unto others as you would have done to you." May God Bless Lee and her community and may God help the bullies. Love you two.
Getting people to talk is always the best way to start I look forward to watch ur vids every week and this didn’t let me down thank you both Love the honesty love the way you both care Thank you
Just love each other as you love yourself period! If you can not say anything nice keep it to yourself. Or you need to examine yourself if you cant stop hurting others!!!
Bless her beautiful soul...free to be completely, her magnificent self now. Thank you to all beautiful souls who are living each day with lifes 'challenges'. You are all so precious, worthy & loved more than you can imagine. I send you ALL pure divine unconditional love & light... 💖🙏💖
That's a tough watch! 😢 Mental health is a huge issue especially so over the past year. I've lost 3 friend's over that time to mental health issues and it's hard, the best way to help ourselves is to raise awareness and show kindness. Thanks for sharing, as it'll help everyone that's lost someone in these circumstances not just those effect by the loss of Lee. Sending love to everyone and remember to be kind, especially to yourself ❤️
O my I didn’t know this when you look at her you had a sense of joy her smile Radiated it made you want to smile. I saw something on Bec & Eaton but I didn’t understand it was Lee I’ve watched your guys programs and theirs. I love to see such a young couples life so full of life and love sharing with others.thank you
Endless sad... Such a beautiful soul. ❤️ If it’s sad for me, who never spoke to her and never met her, I know how hard it is for all of you, who felt her love and saw her lightning in reality. I always write more in the comments, but I delete it... I’m a depression survivor. It sucks the happiness out of us and there is nothing left but pain. Sending hugs and love to you and all others. ❤️
Hugs to you, Tamara. Stand proud of each and every day you have and always know, depression does lift. Love yourself through it All. (I’m 25 years past my partners suicide, yet these situations make me feel like it was just yesterday. I’ve learned self love and still learn more self love, because I belong on earth.) love to you, darling.
I too am a survivor of depression, and know that it can creep back in. My heart grieves that you are feeling this loss so keenly. The next time that you write in the comments...don't delete. Leave your message for the world to hear. You are a blessing to be blessed. Reaching out to you from Canada and praying you whole again. May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be loved. May you be happy. May you live your life with ease. May it be so. AMEN
@@racheljoanfleming159 oh, you’re sweet! Thank you... I was restless on the day Lee left her material body. It was irritating because I’m okay. I am very empathetic and feel, see and hear very sensitive... When Eamon and Bec posted it on Instagram it hit me like a wrecking ball. And I dived deep in this pain, all her loved ones are feeling. And I always wanted to stand by all them, but in my head has been the voice, who’d said “It’s not necessary what you think”. I’m okay... Thank you! I am in love with myself since one year. That’s why I’m so sad... We are all seeking after the prescription for happiness. I know where the happiness is living... But I didn’t reach out... I’m 20 years older than Lee... But she had the knowledge which I have. She had all tools in her hands. But no idea how to deal with the pain. If anybody who’s in this situation is reading this: You have to go back to the pain, dive deep in it, feel it again, be brave, and then realise that you survived this situation, in which your ego told you this is the end. You have survived! Visualise your younger you and embrace her/him. Take her/him with you... Back in the here and now. Maybe you breathe out a bit more powerful. That’s the moment you let it go. And eat dark chocolate it’s uplifting. Everything with Lemons. Change vom hot to cold under the shower. Meditate. Walk in the forest. The green of the leaves is healing. There are much more things you can do to uplift your mood. Wearing the colour Magenta for example is one more example. It helps against depression. Sure it can’t wipe it away! But everything lifting is a support! One is all! All is one! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Everybody of us is a wonder because there have been so many sperms and we made it! Never forget! ❤️
Thank you so much for speaking for Lee & the love so many of us felt for her. I’ll go on loving her & the legacy of speaking truth that Lee left us. May God’s bless us all & at this sad time, especially those that were close to Lee in whatever manner. ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Thankyou so much I'm in tears listening to you two, I've had mental health issues this passed year and lost my twin sister 6 yes ago to mental health it so hard to carry on but your kinging it pod cast has been inspirational to me 🙏 this passed yr Love to ya both of ❤

Beautiful words guys. Like many I feel the loss of a close friend although we never met. As well as random acts of kindness I feel we all have a responsibility to not just ignore it when we see cyber bullying (something I am guilty of) , but to confront it head on. I will never turn a blind eye again, it’s time to show these cowards that their behaviour is not acceptable. Lee, you have made me a better person - this is part of your legacy.
Lee was so looking forward to that trip with you two in Custard the bus. It’s true what you’ve said... she was EASY to love deeply without even meeting her in person and yet I know that when you all did finally meet you’d have LOVED her even more. A true bright light. One in a million.
Big hugs to you both for this beautiful tribute to Lee. She’s so proud of you for speaking up and continuing her work in ending the stigma that surround mental health. Wish we were closer to join you for those very healing swims. So much love 💛🌞🌻
Thinking of you @eamonandbec...be well 🙏🏼❤️

One important thing you showed in this video Craig...men are alowed to cry too...most men still think they have to hide their tears to be strong but it is strong to show your feelings! P❤
This is one of many stigmas we want to squash.
Our brilliant Lee affected the lives of both men and woman and it's not right that only woman should feel allowed to cry. ❤️
💯
Yes!
I’ve never met Lee, but followed her online for YEARS. The day I found out about her passing I was devastated. I know she’d want us to live our lives to the fullest, so after I wiped my tears, I bought a dress that I was too scared to wear because I was worried about what others would say. Life is short, so live it up ❤️
Good for you girl. Dance like nobody’s watching and love like you’ve never been hurt.
Absolutely right decision! Dress like a divine queen! Others stop thinking about your value, at the point you feel your truthfulness! Remember: Everything in the outside that triggers you, is a chance to heal. Love yourself first! ❤️
there have been lots of tears for Lee. The irony is she'd have been surprised and overwhelmed at the love, and also have rushed to help everyone who is devastated. Too cruel. take care :-)
Beautiful words right from the heart 😭💛 You two are like no other, this will help so many 💛💛 #speakupforlee
We love you guys, we hope we get to meet and travel with you soon, just like Lee, you're our kinda gals ❤️ ❤️ Sending love! ❤️
sending you love & light as well, and hopes that you're doing ok xx I know it will have hit you very hard xx
RIP Lee. Build people up, don't break people down. Be kind.
I'm new to the story of Lee, even though I've been watching her videos. I never knew she was cyber bullied. How can this be possible even? - that gorgeous gorgeous girl was so lovely.
In fact she brought me to your channel. Lee was beautiful - I felt Lee was real.
Btw, I love Wales and was there a few weeks ago with my grand daughter. Take care, stay safe and stay real, Oh and congratulations on your recent news.
It is so real, having suffered for many years myself, and slowly over coming,with Wim Hof breathing, grounding, and taking myself off the medications.. there are other treatments that work, like wim hof and gives you a sense of control back in your life.. and men speak about it, so many suffering in these crazy times.. love to you both and respect for making more aware of this very real condition..
💕
LEE was full of life. Every time I see anybody talking about her makes me really emotional but at the same time I want to hear it out. Cant still digest she is gone. RIP you little angel.
Sending love to you Prayag ❤️
So beautiful. Thank you both. Rip Lee. 😇🙏🙏❤
I know both of you have suffered mental health issues with stress etc., and knew this would affect your hearts. This was a beautiful tribute to Lee and I am so sorry she felt she couldn’t be here anymore.
Cyber bullies have sad lives and need help in a different way.
Such a dear sweet sincere girl ! I am so very sorry she stepped out of her life this way ! I never met her but binged on her video’s. Thank you for speaking up for her and for mental health in these difficult times. 💕🙏
Thank you so much for speaking up for Lee and Mental Health. It's real and mental health needs to be brought to the table.First and formost.Mental health is real let's help one another.!!!
You both are beautiful people and Lee's hope of building a community is coming alive.❤❤
I am a 62 year young woman who believes that we all have a responsibility to be kind to one another. Be that , that you ask the universe for. Give back and be kind !!
Namaste ❤
This is a lovely tribute. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I'm so sorry for the loss everybody is feeling. Lee is so very loved by many across the world. I am sad that the hurting outpowered that for her that day.
Sending love to you both. You wonderful thoughtful beings. The cold sea dip was beautiful.
Thank you ❤️ much love to you 🌸🌸
Hello guys. I discovered you literally a week ago, when I was little bit struggling with school and stress. It was nothing horrible, but I needed some kind of reminder that I rule my own world. After the first video I watched I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. I immediately felt like I know you guys for years and you really helped me in just one week. I "met" Lee just few days ago and I have no right to say that I knew her, but it really feels like it, so I cried with you during the video. I am so sorry for your loss and so glad that you speak about this. One of my family members really struggled with mental health. Thanks god we managed to help her, but it was a tough journey. Mental health is nothing to be ashamed of and we all deserve to live the life we want. To rule our own world. Thank you that you remind us of this every day.
Lee Max Occy was the first to view van life. I got my van in February getting it ready for the road and will share build and life. Lee was loved and will be missed. My love going out to Max and friends families, sorry for your lost. BE KIND
RIP beautiful Lee MacMillan! ❤️❤️
I adore you two. I have a huge mental health warrior and advocate. Its refreshing to see a beautiful couple showing their souls. Love you guys even more 🤍🤍🤍
I can't remember feeling so heartbroken & crying over the passing of someone I had never met - that was Lee ... Bless her beautiful soul ~ she is free now and she'll soar forever and a day. Thank you for this touching and loving video - we must all #speakupforlee (and each other)! 💖
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Bless you both ❤❤
So sweet. Just came here after your visit to Eamon and Bec. As a mental health professional, I would say that you are on the right path. Love and continuing success. Love from Vegas. RedPat ❤️💙💜💚💛
Thank you for speaking up for Lee. If only she could have known how much we loved her. I'm proud to be Canadian and all of the Canadian vanlifers represent us well. She will be missed dearly.
You both are an inspiration to me, your kindness and sincerity is something you should be proud of. I have loved your dynamic relationship together, from the first video of yours I watched. Sending you lots of love. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
She knew how much she was loved. Mental illness will take you even when those that love you most are there to catch you when you fall. It’s a suffering like no other and even though everyone’s journey is different. Those that also suffer can relate to the pain and emptiness. The weight can be just too heavy. The feeling of being a burden is constant even when the people in your life love you and want to be there for you.
A beautiful tribute to the beautiful light and love that was/is Lee.
My heart goes out to all who knew and loved Lee, so sorry for the loss you feel, she was obviously a very special lady. Craig and Amiee you are beautiful people inside and out you tell it like it is, love watching you both. Big hugs ❤️
Mental health always carries a stigma unfortunately, the thing is no one should judge because it can happen to anyone it can creep up on you and then hits you like a ton of bricks. It’s so much easier for people to be nasty or become distant with you, because in their eyes you’re weak. A favourite saying I’ve heard is “give yourself a shake or get a grip” which really doesn’t help most people walk away only true friends stick around and give support, which can be as simple as making a cuppa and a chat. God bless Lee xx
You made me cry and I don't even know her.... Beautiful tribute to who I now know is a huge loss to this crazy planet... Sleep well angel x
Truly....it says more about that person(bully) than it does about the one who puts their self out there.
Thank you for putting it there, information on Cyber bullies, bullies in general and what we can do to help.
I never knew Lee for real, but I thought that she's such a sweet and caring person and had the prettiest soul ever- But bullying on the net is so easy- sitting anonymous behind the screen with some taken name. But actually it's quite simple, never say anything to anybody that you wouldn't say if you stand face to face with the person. As you probably know ny know, I'm a silly, but very friendly old man. I can always find something positive to say and never anything negative. Thanks for speaking out for Lee to make us all understand what an amazing person she was 🤗😍💐
Prayers for lee. While I don't personally have mental health issues my husband does due to military deployments . I struggle with chronic illnesses and a lot of pain so thank you for making this video . 🐦
Since I saw the news, Lee has just been in my thoughts so often! For me she was someone that was so beautiful and seemed to have the world at her fingertips and for her to just be gone is almost to much to comprehend, so I can’t even imagine how you all must feel 😢
Thank you for all the love, laughter and kindness you bring to the world ❤️
Rest in peace Lee, what a beautiful soul 🤗💕
Guys really touching tribute to Lee , I never met her but have followed her though you and Eamon and becks . Sorry for your loss and all Lee’s friends and family. 💔❤️
I am still grieving. Lee was one in a million!
This is so incredibly tough to accept. Thank you for giving us a way forward with the 2 words: "More kindness"
It's great that people like you speak up against all the hate that is being spread on social media. We also make travel vlogs. It's hard making videos and putting them out there. But the comments people come up with... Whatever happened to: If you don't like it, just click away and do something else?
Be kind, be compassionate and share some love.
Sending so much love to everyone here. I still can’t wrap my head around Lee’s loss. She is and was precious. Thank you, loves, for this lovely tribute.
Rest in Power Lee. You were a such a light in this world. I met you through Eamon and Bec’s life and fell in love with you on the spot. Your light was so bright and drew people to you because of your kindness, honesty and love for people. You will be missed my love. Big love 🔆🧚🏼♂️✌🏽🌸🕊🪶🪔✨
Mental health, bullying, terrorizing is a world wide issue. Thank you for sharing this message. The people in power aren't doing much to help so it's up to us to make the changes. I didn't know Lee, clearly I missed out. It's a shame to lose a good person when the world send so full of bad ones. #SpeakupForLee
Lee was such a bright person, I was shocked to find out how she decided to exit this world. As someone who has survived both sides of this issue, I do get to toss a vote out there. As I learned, suicide is long term solution to a short term problem. It’s terrible to see that the brightest lights make the largest targets. Tender hearts break the easiest, you must know how dark her outlook was...I can’t believe that she meant to hurt the train’s crew who must live with the knowledge that they played an unwitting role. This is nature’s law of unintended consequences. She did not set out that day to make it one of the worst in that crew’s lives...but it happened...now, those of us who are still here have a roll to play in helping those in need. In my case, I received excellent mental health care at just the right time, and, I knew I would have no say so as to who would be the first to find me etc. if anyone ever wants to talk about what they are feeling, OR NOT FEELING, please reach out, even to me. Take care.
I never really saw any videos with her, but cry everytime I see videos of her, almost like she was a dear friend of mine💕
Just rewatched this sweet testimony. Y'all brought tears to my eyes yet again. Three years ago a course of TMS (Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation) helped me with my depression.
Cyber bullying has to stop, no-one should be made to feel so bad that the only way to escape it, is to end your life, I didn’t know Lee but it really affected me listening to you talking about her, she sounds like she was an amazing woman. Something needs to be done to stop this, I suffer with mental health issues so I know how hard it can be to reach out but for anyone reading these comments who is struggling, please reach out, talk to someone, there is so many people who want to help you ❤️ RIP Lee Xxx
I want to understand this so much. Can you give an example of bullying? I haven't come across it. Makes me feel terrible that people are so mean. They need to be called out so they know that words hurt,
So sorry to hear the loss of your friend Lee. Having lost my son to suicide and struggled with mental health issues most of my life I know how important it is to speak up and equally important for people to try to reach out and listen which equally isn't always easy.
Oh God... I hadnt heard..
She was such a kind person( from what I saw in my hermit hut). How could anyone bully someone like that!?! Absolute monsters.
That poor soul...
Amazing how one person can touch so many hearts.
Big love for "Kingin it"
Depression hits harder than most can comprehend. A problem shared is a problem halfed. Help one person to help many. Huge love and respect for an amazing soul love you Lee ❤️. #speakupforlee
Those bullys have just received their KARMA, they will have to live with their decision every day for the rest of their lives.
Love to you guys. I'll watch this later, so I can cry in peace. 😚💙✌️
I’m still heartbroken over Lee’s passing 💔🤍 This is a beautiful tribute to her. Lee, her words and videos, touched me so deeply, I will forever miss her
Sorry for your loss. Very brave of you both to open your hearts. We can see how much this has affected you. I think this has touched many of us because of our own struggles. You are highlighting how wonderful she was but don’t underestimate how wonderful you guys are. Be kind to yourself. Sending love and hugs.
Such beautiful words spoken from the heart. We never had the chance to meet Lee but messaged online - she was an amazing person and the world wont be the same without her. She did a wonderful post saying that just because she put's herself online doesn't give people the right to say what they want. There is a fine line between freedom of speech and hate speech. We all need to stand up again cyber bullying. As content creators we should not accept personal or hate speech, it is not ok !!! We need to all stick together. Hopefully RUclips also does more to prevent videos that encourage cyber bullying. I am sure Lee would have loved your video and I am sure she would be heading your way for a rocking tour of Wales with you. Sending big virtual hugs - Chris & Marianne xxx
I found the 2 of you through Eamon & Bec and every video I seen about Lee just shatters me and makes me sob. As someone who lives and often struggles with my mental health - this is terrifying. If someone who appeared to love life as much as she did can lose the will to keep putting one foot in front of the other...how can I? But I just keep doing it...if not foruswlf them for tribe who loves and supports me no matter what. Tha k you so much for sharing ❤
I was deeply affected by Lee’s death. I had watched her videos and was inspired by her adventures. It’s amazing that someone like her can touch people all over the world. Bless you for your beautiful tribute to your dear friend Lee. Her memory will be a blessing to so many. peace to you.
Same
side by side or miles apart friends will always be connected by their hearts and cherish memories. be kind to one another. R.I.P LEE
Thank you for posting this. Brave of you to step in front of the camera. I’m crying everyday for this beautiful girl I didn’t know. I’m just so sad she didn’t have have the strength to face another day. Shame on the bullies. This culture has to stop. Much love to you xx
It is so incredibly sad to hear this about Lee .. a beautiful soul,such a young Life cut short ......its such a hard thing to accept for those family & friends that are left to live with out their loved ones ,the constant grief ,it never leaves ,my own friend Jonathon took his own life a few years ago ,we had no idea what he was expriencing ..we must look out for each other ,seriously what else is there really if we cannot do that for one another ...thank you for yoru words ,all wonderful tributes from you both & Eamon & Becs . " The greatest lesson of all ,is to love and be loved in return " ...from what I have seen & heard about Lee ,she definitely reflected that for sure ..rip beautiful Lee . Infinite love to you Paula Pixie Moss x
Cried all the way through. Missing her and just love you two . Thank you 💕💕💔💕💕
Depression was so hard to cope with when I had loving, supportive people around me but I can’t imagine what it would be like to read online negative comments from complete strangers. As you said, something needs to be done about that.😡Thank you for all that you are doing to spread the word that it’s okay to say “l’m not okay”. Mental health issues need to de-stigmatised and allow people to talk about how they feel. Sending Lee’s family and friends so much love ❤️❤️❤️
This is so poignant right now. I just lost a childhood friend a little over a week ago who loved and lived life in a similar way as Lee. Thank you for sharing this. It's important to celebrate our loved ones
I’m terribly sorry for your loss. There are no words for a loss like that. ❤️
Clifton, my heart is grieving for you. May the memory of your friend bring sweetness and joy to your life. I hope that the sadness will lift to a place in memory that does not bring you down, but that it will lead you to recognize the gift that your friend gave, just by being. It is so hard to have a friend leave.
Beautiful tribute to a beautiful light. #speakupforlee it’s ok not to be okay!
We cant get over how bloody lush you guys are thankyou for sharing ❤ so raw and beautifully said. #standupforlee
P.L.U.R
PEACE . LOVE. UNITY. RESPECT.
She is a free spirit now. Far away from the bully, free of going where ever she wants to go, with no pain, no need of the human drugs to try to stop a pain that cannot be seen or heard. She is free and if she feels the need, she can come back stronger and with a brighter light. 😌💗
She was amazing and I just want to hug you two so badly xxxx Big hugs xxxxx
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video for the beautiful Lee . I'm from Holland and i was following Lee on RUclips. I have now words ❤❤❤
What a gift to find a friendship that changes you. ❤️
A life that touches others goes on forever....I hate that some people feel 'safe' spouting god awful comments online, things they would never dream of saying face to face and things that would horrify their friends and family if they knew. Shame for themselves and empathy for others seems non existent. Bless you both for baring your pain and grief, hold on to each other and carry her with you always xxx
So glad u two are focusing on all the wonderful times u spent w her. Cyberbullies, who cares?? Don't let them affect u w their negativity, you're better and bigger by far😌
Every one of these videos makes me cry. I wish I could go back in time and give her a hug.
I suffer...a lot....mental health issues are real...I suffer a lot...people don't realize...what we go through....ready to give up...I love you guys so much!! Thank you...
Well said guys!!!! Bullying in all its form is the darkest form of human condition. You two are the most beautiful hearted people and this video is so so so valuable and beautiful and strong xxxx
Like so many others, I only knew of Lee through the online world but her passing has hit me hard. It has also made sadly realize how low I have been feeling and that I should get some help. I’ve spent most of my life being ashamed of the thought of being depressed and not being able to deal with it on my own.
Thank you again for this, a lovely tribute to a beautiful soul 💗
Thank you! This is such a beautiful tribute for Lee, I never met her and I was devastated by the news of her passing, she’s so powerful I felt like I lost a sister. She’s in my heart and I’m my mind daily, as well as her family, Max, Jordan & Eamon and Bec. She’ll always be remembered, May Lee Rest In Peace.
Beautiful soul inside and out🥰🥰🥰
Love you two! 🤍🤍🤍🤍 Take care of yourselves.
This is beautiful 💖
WoW...so much love out here for Lee! I am 1 of those that never met her but thru her vids it was easy 2 c her precious soul!!! I suffer as well from mental illnesses so i know the struggle...always putting others 1st n loving so hard n always smiling on the outside but suffering so badly inside n u can get all the help but sadly its an everyday, all day, ongoing battle u fight every single day and truth b told prob will till the end. 😞 it is NO joke!! Thanx 4 this n much love n prayers 2 u both!! God bless 💛💛
I'm so sorry to hear this 😞🥰 love to all her friends and family xxx
So so sorry for yours and Eamon and bec’s loss, i had seen her a handful of times in their videos but could tell she was a strong support and kind friend. Mental health problems need to be talked about more often and when I saw she had passed away it made me think, someone may have all the awareness of their problems and be getting help but sometimes it isn’t enough.
We all just need to be there for each other so much more, even if that is just to sit or walk in silence, the sense of knowing someone has your back can help I believe. I work as a mental health nurse and a few years ago did an event trying to reduce the mental health stigma for young people. It’s still a complex thing to break down but bit by bit things are getting better. Sending you all love and you are right, peoples outside world may look great but it’s the inner work that is the most important and the communities and support we have x
I recently lost my best friend, I know the physical pain of losing someone and never quite feeling whole. I watched a few videos of Eamon & Bec’s where Lee was staying with them and her dog in their tiny van.. she had an infectious smile and was so fun to watch.
Sleep peacefully Lee ♥️🕊
am sorry to read of your grieving. losing good friends is horrid. I've lost more than I can count on one hand to cancer. When the time is right, Eamon & Bec, the VanWives and our lovely Kinging-It, and many others will carry Lee's torch forward. The outpouring of grief shows there are wonderful people in our global village, who want to do good and to share compassion. Lee is alive in all of us mourning her loss.
@@sammic974 ♥️ 🕊
"If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" is how I was raised, along with "Do unto others as you would have done to you." May God Bless Lee and her community and may God help the bullies. Love you two.
Getting people to talk is always the best way to start
I look forward to watch ur vids every week and this didn’t let me down thank you both
Love the honesty love the way you both care
Thank you
Thanks so much for your compassion and kindness. You are so genuine and such great spokespeople for Lee. Such a tragic loss.
Sending you and anyone else hurting SO much love ❤️ a beautiful soul gone way too soon 💔
Thank you both ❤️
Just love each other as you love yourself period! If you can not say anything nice keep it to yourself. Or you need to examine yourself if you cant stop hurting others!!!
Bless her beautiful soul...free to be completely, her magnificent self now.
Thank you to all beautiful souls who are living each day with lifes 'challenges'. You are all so precious, worthy & loved more than you can imagine. I send you ALL pure divine unconditional love & light...
💖🙏💖
One day a smile will touch your lips before a tear, till then 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's a tough watch! 😢 Mental health is a huge issue especially so over the past year. I've lost 3 friend's over that time to mental health issues and it's hard, the best way to help ourselves is to raise awareness and show kindness.
Thanks for sharing, as it'll help everyone that's lost someone in these circumstances not just those effect by the loss of Lee.
Sending love to everyone and remember to be kind, especially to yourself ❤️
You guys are beautiful 🖤 RIP Lee
O my I didn’t know this when you look at her you had a sense of joy her smile Radiated it made you want to smile. I saw something on Bec & Eaton but I didn’t understand it was Lee I’ve watched your guys programs and theirs. I love to see such a young couples life so full of life and love sharing with others.thank you
It should be made into a law, Lee’s Law to protect people from cyber bullying!
You two are truly amazing people....Big Hugs to you both. Thank you for #speakingupforlee
Endless sad... Such a beautiful soul. ❤️
If it’s sad for me, who never spoke to her and never met her, I know how hard it is for all of you, who felt her love and saw her lightning in reality.
I always write more in the comments, but I delete it... I’m a depression survivor.
It sucks the happiness out of us and there is nothing left but pain.
Sending hugs and love to you and all others. ❤️
Hugs to you, Tamara. Stand proud of each and every day you have and always know, depression does lift. Love yourself through it All. (I’m 25 years past my partners suicide, yet these situations make me feel like it was just yesterday. I’ve learned self love and still learn more self love, because I belong on earth.) love to you, darling.
@@donnamass9576 thank you! Hugs to you too! Oh, so sad... Feel hugged! ❤️
I too am a survivor of depression, and know that it can creep back in. My heart grieves that you are feeling this loss so keenly. The next time that you write in the comments...don't delete. Leave your message for the world to hear. You are a blessing to be blessed. Reaching out to you from Canada and praying you whole again. May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be loved. May you be happy. May you live your life with ease. May it be so. AMEN
@@racheljoanfleming159 oh, you’re sweet! Thank you...
I was restless on the day Lee left her material body. It was irritating because I’m okay. I am very empathetic and feel, see and hear very sensitive... When Eamon and Bec posted it on Instagram it hit me like a wrecking ball. And I dived deep in this pain, all her loved ones are feeling. And I always wanted to stand by all them, but in my head has been the voice, who’d said “It’s not necessary what you think”.
I’m okay... Thank you! I am in love with myself since one year. That’s why I’m so sad... We are all seeking after the prescription for happiness. I know where the happiness is living... But I didn’t reach out... I’m 20 years older than Lee... But she had the knowledge which I have. She had all tools in her hands. But no idea how to deal with the pain.
If anybody who’s in this situation is reading this:
You have to go back to the pain, dive deep in it, feel it again, be brave, and then realise that you survived this situation, in which your ego told you this is the end. You have survived! Visualise your younger you and embrace her/him. Take her/him with you... Back in the here and now. Maybe you breathe out a bit more powerful. That’s the moment you let it go.
And eat dark chocolate it’s uplifting. Everything with Lemons. Change vom hot to cold under the shower. Meditate. Walk in the forest. The green of the leaves is healing. There are much more things you can do to uplift your mood. Wearing the colour Magenta for example is one more example. It helps against depression.
Sure it can’t wipe it away! But everything lifting is a support!
One is all! All is one!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Everybody of us is a wonder because there have been so many sperms and we made it! Never forget! ❤️
Stay strong. Sending hugs and positive vibes to you to keep on going. We do care. 💕
A huge shock, such a magnificent lady Very Very upset. To all her friends, family & online pals be aware we all need care & love, peace to lee XXX
Love you both.. so strong and brave doing what you do is not easy... be kind... I’m so sorry for your loose... ❤️
Thank you so much for speaking for Lee & the love so many of us felt for her. I’ll go on loving her & the legacy of speaking truth that Lee left us. May God’s bless us all & at this sad time, especially those that were close to Lee in whatever manner. ❤️🙏🏼❤️
A wonderful tribute to Lee. She was a very special soul. Kia kaha from New Zealand ❤️
