Speak up for Lee ❤

[@kingingit]

Thank you all for the love and support and for sharing your stories on Lee. It's so important to speak out. Thank you all who have donated to Lee's Gofundme page which will go towards the prevention of cyber bullying and helping people who are suffering with their mental health.

[@simonwillmott5206]

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.

[@eamonandbec]

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 💛🌞🌻

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.

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 KZbin 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

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'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.

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.

[@annettewornin7683]

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

[@jennifferhurlburt642]

[@malonielangthorne2848]

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.

Actually just quit my job, and closing my business, and am planning to travel full time (traveling the 50 states) to spread awareness of depression and anxiety and living life to the fullest! ❤ Was completely devastated when I heard the news about Lee. She was one of the few younger travelers that I felt bonded and connected to. She was such a beautiful spirit! I didn't know her in person but she inspired me so much and was just a gorgeous girl to follow and enjoy ❤❤❤ I have battled with depression, C-PTSD and anxiety and childhood trauma and became suicidal again in December 2019 and onward through 2020. Instead of giving in to my depression and mental health concerns I plan to encourage others to get help and change their lives! ❤ Biggest hugs to you both.

I also lost a friend to mental illness last year around this time. We still haven't celebrated his life due to COVID. In a month it will be the 13th anniversary of my cousin's death. He would have been a father in a few short months. Sadly a good friend of mine never graduated high school and another friend never saw his book published. We mourn not only for the hole they leave behind, but for the things we will never know as far as what could have been. What we do know is the legacy they leave behind within each of us. And every time we are there for someone, they live through us. Every time we act on the empathy we have for others, they shine through us. Every memory is a gift, both the ones we created and the ones we will create, and we owe it to each other to be gifts to each other. I am so very sorry for this insurmountable loss. My heart goes out to the community I hold very dear to my heart. Together you will get through this. Sending love from afar.

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 🤗😍💐

It is amazing how far-reaching Lee McMillan's legacy is spreading. Well, so it should. She is an amazing woman. I still cannot speak of her in the past tense.

My heart is grieving for you and for her community of friends and followers. There should indeed be some way to stop the cyber bullying and to prosecute the offenders. It is no different that squaring off in the streets and beating someone down with a bat. They are the cowards, to hide behind a keyboard and strike out at others, especially the most vulnerable. God Bless you Lee. Your wisdom and sensitivity has been heard by many and is helping them. We will not let your message fade. There is an old Buddist blessing...May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be happy. May you live your live with ease. Lee, May it be so. Rest in peace. AMEN #speakupforlee

[@terrikopke3496]

I, like so many viewers, never met Lee face to face. I have watched many videos from various bloggers that included her. She was always the bright light. Only a few times could I see concern on her face and a quiet moment from her. I am a 70 year old female who now since I can no longer physically do the things you younger generation are able to I tend to live vicariously through your adventures. When I found out about Lee I was devastated that the bright light had been extinguished. I understand that we all sign a contract for our life with the higher spirits. I did not know about this until a few years ago. So when your time is up no matter how that will occur you go to heaven. Even if your a bad person. You either learn the lessons or your off to a new place. If I could have switched with her I would have in a heartbeat. Life is sometimes ephemeral. Cherish your time on this planet and those around you. Take care of the environment. Just be kind. It really takes very little effort.

So I do feel I did know her a little. Everything you said was so true, she wanted to help others even though she was going through a rough time herself. Being open and breaking down the barriers about mental health will help so many people.... its with such sadness that even with help and support of friends, family and professionals her demons were just too much to cope with and fright against. May you rest in peace Lee and be forever able to smile with no demons on your horizon. 🧡

Oh my darlings, you wonderful, sunny, caring Welsh wonders xx Am so sorry you've had such an emotional time. I'd seen your comments on Lee and Max's various social media pages and wondered how you were doing. I've been where Lee was more than once in my 60 years, but something stopped me, thankfully. It was a hard road back but I was lucky. My story has become different, positive and contented. It broke my heart that Lee couldn't see a way forward, despite the good things that were happening in her life. You were lucky to speak with her, to know her, to encourage and support her as she found a new path at the time. I'm also proud of you two and what you've started to do with others. It means alot to know that you're not alone when depression starts draining your life force. I know you've had a hard time too in the past, Aimee, and you know, as I did too, what your own mortality can mean. Lee's gift was to give everything to others and to be of service. I was proud of her at a distance and she was worth a thousand times more than her mind was telling her. Her journey should not have ended that way, but every person saved from here on in is her legacy. She's stardust now, sprinkling magic on her loved ones and our shared community. If only everyone would be kind, compassionate, and build a better future, rather than mindlessly destroy it, the world would be a far better place. Those poignant images of the daffodils in your video represent so much: your usually sunny dispositions, your home country, Spring heralding growth & renewal, and the Macmillan charity, of course. It will take a long while to get over the loss of Lee, but I hope we can remember her with love and smiles, and not always tears. Sending you lots of love and healing from Devon xx

Guys. I didn't know of Lee until I heard of her passing from you both. I started looking for her various online platforms, watching her videos and looking at her photos. The first thing that hit me was how happy she looked and how many adventures she had been on, then I came across videos about her mental health. The truth that shone through is that it doesn't matter how popular you are on social media, or how many miles you've travelled across the world. Mental health will follow you everywhere and it has devastating effects. I fell in love with you both because you don't just show the positive and happy moments, but you show the raw downsides of everything too. Life isn't all roses and rainbows for the people who inspire us, they are normal people. Thankfully our lives are mostly neutral or happy, bad shit doesn't happen so often that it outweighs the good. You have both been through so much over the years, documenting it all for the world to see. You are both shining examples of true life and an inspiration to "Rule Your Own World", a mantra that I realised before I even began to follow your lives. It's not always easy, but we can do our best to help each other when we're up, and hope others will be there when we're down. Love you both, stay strong and take care❤

To the people a holes that were doing it to Lee online that she gave on life need to think about what their words can do because you don't know what the consequences of what we post online. RIP Lee.

Anybody that knew her in real life or on KZbin has lost a very special person. You are missed.

[@cabaroke1996]

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

[@danielleharty269]

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 . 🐦

[@JorgeMorales-tw5ox]

I still miss Lee so much!!! 😔

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

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 🔆🧚🏼‍♂️✌🏽🌸🕊🪶🪔✨

[@treesworld13]

One thing I have been saying is... Being KIND is easier then being hateful... Just keep telling people any time you can.. if it changes just ONE person... Imagine what a difference you can make in that one person life.. so they can help the next person they meet... 🙏🏻❤️

[@Sjetton85]

Sorry for your loss but remember you gained loves, memories and many feelings that won't ever fade.

[@robmackins2111]

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.

First time I viewed ur vlog. It made me cry. I have also dealt w depression. Became overwhelming. I od'd on pills, spent a week in ICU 2006. I'm a woman, Vietnam vet. So many layers. Got put through full time on mental health unit for depression/PTSD and have many years of counseling continuing to this day. I was always a social animal, loved people. Skydiving, I helped pioneer some things, hiked scuba dived, artistic, chef, pastry chef, pharmacy tech. When I faltered I got deserted. My parents, sisters said what do I have to feel bad about, pull myself together, I have it good, I'm self indulgent. But I also went through these times alone then. No man at my side, making it alone and my parents decided to send my bipolar brother a one way ticket to live w me. They couldn't take the strain. Anyhow on and on. But I am forever grateful to the VA because I've learned to hold my ground and help is only a call away. But I completely understand the hopeless Lee felt. I've lived it. It's oppressive, it's real, and it's just there w you like a lead weight. Some come through, some don't. God bless Lee.

[@pennydemopoulos143]

Very sad, very young woman. My mother took her life…. There are no words for the grief…. I’m sorry for your loss😞

[@christycorn-tw2cu]

What hateful ppl will do. I'm late to ur channel and came across this. I too suffer from depression. These ppl have no clue how much cruel words can effect a person. Stories like these make me so angry. She seems so beautiful and God bless everyone who keep Lee alive everyday. 🙏

[@alinaflorinasavu2130]

saddest video. You are carrying her memory in a wonderful way

[@kellyf3217]

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 ♥️🕊

[@sammic974]

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.

Yes she was and all ways will be a beautifull soul i loved who she was

[@kristancorsiglia6756]

Thank you. As someone who suffers greatly from anxiety and depression, I can’t put in to words the impact that her death has had on me or that you, and others like you, talking about it has had. We need more support and understanding. Please continue to advocate for us. Knowing that someone who suffers as I do, who struggles every day to over come the suffering, has taken her life is a hard blow. It makes me worry that I too am not strong enough to beat this battle. She had such an incredible support system, yet in the end she succumbed. We need more and I don’t want to be another statistic. I want to get myself through this and then I want to help others. Lee’s death has made me realize that I don’t want to keep suffering in silence. I want to be proactive and I don’t feel alone in this.

[@juliecarpenter8295]

Love to you guys. I'll watch this later, so I can cry in peace. 😚💙✌️

[@jinglejacs]

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

[@filrabat1965]

I never knew Lee even existed until I ran across your Sami video. Lee sounds like she was and continues to be amazing and open-hearted. And yes, sensitive too, although I don't scorn but in fact appreciate highly sensitive people (unlike most of society). Lee, if you're there, know that I regret not even hearing of you before now. As for cyber-bullies, people who get thrills from hurting or degrading other people either are brainwashed by sociopathic values, if not sociopaths at the core.

[@tamara_h.]

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. ❤️

[@donnamass9576]

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.

[@tamara_h.]

@@donnamass9576 thank you! Hugs to you too! Oh, so sad... Feel hugged! ❤️

[@racheljoanfleming159]

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

[@tamara_h.]

@@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 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

[@ashogmhn2302]

Lee was a insperation to alot of people and will be truly missed far and wide.....

[@nickthomas181]

I sent a message to Lee early this year after watching her in an Emon and Bec episode where they were down themselves and Lee took over.I described her as a massive ball of energy with more bounce than Tiger (from Winnie the Poo) . Lee messaged me back and said she d not heard that description before but she liked it and was ok with it.I wasn't aware totally of her struggles with mental health(and why would I after all)I have struggled badly and continue to struggle with depression and anxiety. What I was witnessing was Lees amazing energy this can be a euphoric high which can be followed by a crushing low . Life is for living in the here and the now. We get but one life and this is not a rehearsal for the afterlife. I did not know Lee but she will be so terribly missed that much I know, God only knows what her family must be feeling they were featured in Emon and Bec and Lees quarantine vlog on return from Morroco. My heart goes out to her family and all her friends may the Lord bless them and keep them in his arms in this darkest of hours I sent the message to a van life support group I'm part of on Facebook(A closed group) and previously posted it to Cheska at Overlanding Sofia its a message Im proud of because it says and sums what I wanted to say and It breaks my heart she gone. I crashed into a deep depression shortly after her death it did affect me so. Each day I'm doing a little better every day now.

[@racheljoanfleming159]

Nick, you are in my prayers. Let the memory of her struggle and her joys carry you on the days when your load is too heavy. There are many out here who will help you through. God Bless you.

[@sammic974]

take it steady, one day at a time x

[@SOrona-hi6tn]

Me too!... i dont know lee personally but the minute i read she took her life . I felt a jolt .. kinda threw me back in my chair.. it was crushing.. especially because i had just finished the aemon and bec podcast lee did about a few days before.... she was a bright light and sometimes those people struggle the most... i wish it wasn't that way... I'm still sad..i prayed for her soul... i prayed for God to give her a beautiful safe place to rest in heaven.. i dont want her to suffer no more! 😞 Didn't know her other than her videos but i sure miss her! I think some of my friends and family think im crazy to be so affected by someone i don't even know... I tell them .. if you had seen her heard her ..you would understand! Such beautiful energy! ❤

[@jmk1962]

Stay strong and keep carrying on. That's what Lee would have wanted you to do. Help others and by doing that you can help yourself. Hugs to you xx

[@nickthomas181]

Thank you so much.x
