We are very good at wearing masks and showing people what we think they need to see! It saddens me when sufferers can no longer find the strength to keep battling the Black Dog of Depression😪. Thank you for this compassionate tribute Sue. Deb of Oz XXX.
That was a lovely tribute to a man who made a difference in people's lives. RIP, Shane. I hope you have found your peace at the Source and are whole again.
I unfortunately have never heard of Shane but your video made me weep. Not just cry, but weep. Not only for Shane but for millions of people all over the world including myself who battle depression on a daily basis. I have been fighting it for 29 years, it doesn't get easier but I hide away behind a mask covering it, talking to no one about it. Every day is a struggle. Shane looked and sounded like a wonderful man and I will definitely watch the documentary and read his books. RIP Shane and thank you Sue and GV for a lovely respectful video ❤
sending you my love and 'hugging' you via the ethernet. Don't be afraid Violet. There are many people who are waiting to help you. Talk. Talking it out can remove so much of the anguish and help to unravel that vile ball of shades of grey and black wool which is tangled into knots and filling all the crevices inside you. Hoping that you will find the courage to talk. Much love ~ Cobs. x❤
Sue, this is your most moving episode. Sensitively and thoughtfully crafted. My heart aches for your loss. His work carries on through you. Peace be with you, my friend.
What a beautiful tribute to what sounds like a beautiful soul of a man, God rest him. You never really recover from the suicide of a loved one. It never leaves you. Thank you for this beautiful tribute Sue 🙏xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥
That is true. The real grief is that they probably thought no one would miss them. No true. Not true at All. I paid to have Gramps stone put on because his daughters were ashamed of him for taking his life when he was dying of cancer:/
Such a sad loss of life depression is one of the worse thing to happen to anyone, thank you for sharing this man's story, very sad end for him along with the family and the friends he had left behind.
Thank you for a very moving and touching tribute to a gentlemen most of us had never heard of. A simple man with a complicated mind. There are so many like him. Thank you Sue…
Heartbreaking, beautiful, sacred, loved, only God knew what was broken in his soul.thanks Sue as always my lovely lady for a marvelous tribute and video.😢😢😢❤❤❤
I have been following you guys for so long and I can safely say, this is the best thing you have done Sue. This tribute is worthy and does justice to his life. Thank you for making and sharing.
Sue, I am given you and GV a big hug. I am sorry for many who are saddened by his loss. So many struggle with depression...it is a real battle. May he be at peace, and the perpetual light of peace envelope him. God bless.❤❤❤😢
A beautiful video about Shane... Well done Sue. I'm type two bipolar so I understand what it can do to your mental health.. Fantastic video yet again Sue. Thanks for sharing
So many people suffer from depression. I myself am one of them. I, thankfully, found help from a men's organisation here in Australia. They have helped me immensely, and I have always held them in high regard for their wirk that they do. Beyond Blue are an amazing group if counsellors who help thousands of men, and i was luckily, one of the thousands who helped me. Its just a shame that others suffering, dont find tue help they need, but when they do find help, its too late for them to come back.
@@SerenitySueGraveyards along with Beyond Blue helping me out, I also have my wife, who also helps me too, lets me talk to her about things too. I have so much to live for right now. And I also have helped others as well, and in doing that, it makes me feel wanted and needed in life. I have suffered relapses since losing my brother, my father and my sister, but having Beyond Blue and my wife, they both get me through the dark times.
Sue and GV that was truely a beautiful tribute to an amazing man. Its is so sad that his life came to such a desperate end. May his soul rest in peace. I am sure he is really happy that you paid trbute to him in such a loving way. Thank you❤❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I am sure it was. You could hear in your voice that you were heartsore. Your tribute to him was very special indeed.Sending you light and love❤
Whats sad is ive been there . I had no support from anyone. All they did was call me crazy and say i was negative and a downer. Most people really dont care . They will use what you tell them in confidence against you . I had no one . I only get through because i have God and He gives me the strength to keep going. Pills never helped me and talking about it certainly didnt. I can see why people end up doing this. People need to do better. What you say and how you treat people does matter and for some its a matter of life or death. We need to show more compassion and understanding. If we dont understand depression we need to educate ourselves. It may be a joke to some but its real . Such a sad video but thanks for addressing the matter and making awarness to all.
Dublin oh my distance ancestors McConnell l met a young man here from Ontario CANADA FROM DUBLIN he told me interesting things there and told me he was a distant cousin to me my grandfather was called Garfield McConnell. I just found that out l love your walks and you both are awesome ❤
What a heartbreaking loss for Shan’s family, for Dublin, and the rest of us. I hope with all of my heart that he has found the peace and the connection he spoke of and wanted. Your tribute to Shane’s memory is beautiful.
I didn't know Shane or know about him, so I thank you so much Sue, for bringing him, and his true loveliness, to the whole world. May he rest peacefully, and move onward, upward and forward, with his father. We are all very good at hiding our sorrow or misery. When someone asks 'how are you?'',, we simply answer by saying "fine thank you". But sometimes we're actually not 'fine'. We put on a mask and soldier on. I have much respect for this inwardly tortured man. May God bless and keep him in the palm of his hand. Keep your light shining brightly Sue. ~ Cobs. x
Hello Sue , beautiful video Sue I could hear the sadness in your voice . Glasnevin is amazing amazing I was there many years ago, I noticed at the start of your video Roger Casement , did you know that for a lot for years there was talk he was buried up in the North on the Antrim coast near Murlough Bay close to the Giants Causeway as that was his place of choice , there is still a monument there , My Father alway said he was there for a short time but removed and taken to Dublin. Thanks for adding the link 1 million Dubliners , hope you are both keeping well . Thank you Sue.
Very very sad... to be in a place with your mind that i guess no one will ever understand when a person gets to this point... very sad... stay safe from Aussie pete
I've been struggling most of my life with depression. 3 weeks ago was extremely dark for me. After thinking about it for a while i sought help, but it was scary close for me. There is help, even if it doesn't seem like, there is
Wow, very sad😢. I felt every word Serenity it's heartbreaking. You spoke with a lot of feeling and love for Shane thank you. Rest in peace Shane you're with your dad and your in a lovely place. ❤ God bless from New Zealand.
Thank you, I feel like I lost a friend, even though I never met him. It's ten years since he passed and only finding out was absolutely heartbreaking. I do believe he's at peace
This really shocked me Sue. This is so sad. He sounded like a wonderful person and so sccomplished. That you just found out about. I am so very sorry for you and Cathal. God bless this young man and his family. It never gets any easier does it? Oh my. ♥️☘️
Oh my dear friends 😢💔 my heart feels your grief. It's so hard when you find out that a friend has passed unawares. I had moved away shortly after high school for a few years. I moved back home visiting a cemetery where I have family buried and found one of my close class mates grave who had died on the day I moved out just a few years earlier, So I know this pain you feel. 😞 big hugs guys 🤗. Great story sue thank for sharing. ❤
Hello Serenity Sue. What a moving video. I have had five family members take their own lives. You never get over that. Thank you for sharing this. Peace Jean Crosby Nashville TN USA
I sawShane on this program.Before he passed you could see him reguraly on any program about this cemetery. Yes he suffered from acute depression. I could relate to him because I have the same condition plus MS. Being a Christian by being raised in the deep South and raised by two great parents. My pop was a solid patriot from his 5 years of combat service from WW2. This has strengthened me from doing what Shane did to himself as I considered the same outage. God Bless You Shane buddy. Your infuence was wide spread
It is so sad, and like you said so many people have been affected by depression. I myself have been right at the knife edge of taking my own life. It's a very sharp edge and the pain you feel as if nothing can help. But there are so many ways to get that help you just have to remember that no matter what there are people that care and love you. And as I usually say as always stay safe and most of all stay healthy! Remember you are loved, and help is but a call away.
Wow amazing story depression is awful thing as many of us know, it can be a struggle every day, thank you for this video he will never be forgotten, god bless both
Did the tour a couple of times but luckily had Shane for one of them. It was a proper treat he made the tour magical, he was full of historical knowledge and i was heart broken when i heard. The film one millon dubliners was brilliant and the ending was so sad 😢
😢so sad. RIP Shane🙏🏼🇮🇪 As someone who battles with depression i understand his plight, and that sometimes death seems the only answer. In those times i have to focus on the devastation i would cause to my child and grandchild, and keep fighting the 'black dog' with everything i can muster. Lovely tribute Sue 🫶🏼
Beautiful tribute Sue. May Shane R.I.P. I lost a cousin to suicide when I was seven. I was actually in the house when he took his own life. May all those who need help get it. ....and to those who never got the help they needed....R.I.P.
Lovely tribute to Shane thank you Sue and GV. So sad how he and so many others succumbed to ending their lives because of the silent killer, depression. Early this year I nearly lost my husband to depression. We were so blessed that Heavenly Father didn’t take him and sent my love back to us. So many people here in Australia that have passed to suicide just this year alone. 😢
such a moving video, thank you.. tragic and sad, He ended his pain in the place he felt the strongest connection, It became his happy place.. that sounds weird I know. My happy place is where my family are buried the black dog of depression waits outside. (I lost my Mother to depression she was 62 and a niece just last year 24 yrs of age).. I'm 72 and have been struggling for over 35 years with it..
Yes, he said this cemetery lifted hos spirit. I know that loss only too well and it's devastating. Please don't ever feel alone, life is hard but you deserve it. Sending love ❤️
"Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." - Yoda. Of that, I have no doubts at all. I've experienced WAY too much in my life to think otherwise.
Sue, during the depression, my mother's father took his life, financial problems, leaving my grandmother with 5 children to raise alone. 30 years later, his mother, took her life because she was becoming infirm and was worried she could no longer maintain the farm. She didn't want to be a burden to anyone. About 75 years later, despondent over ongoing covid restrictions, in his 80's, my uncle took his life. 3 generations. I was almost 4 when the call came about my greatgrandmother. Spent many years wondering if this was a family tradition, was I supposed to carry it on? My mother had lifetime struggles dealing with her father's death. Depression runs in families. Suicide affects families in manifold ways, started with whispers children do not process well without guidance. A friend took his life when cancer had almost completely destroyed his body. Some suicides are easier to understand than others, but all leave terrible legacies that the individuals in families struggle with throughout their lives. Impossible to fully know why a person resorts to such measures.
I have touched by suicide 2x , my cousin and my Best Friend. My cousin was quite ill with returned cancer so I understand and he forewarned... My Best Friend, I had no idea she was suicidal. She HID it well or perhaps I missed indications... Her family stated, "she was murderd". A couple of years later I called local police to see if investigations had found the ,"culprit". The clerk kindly told me to brace myself... she said, that my Best Friend had shot, "herself in the heart! " apparently the family was ashamed and were decietful or perhaps knew but were in denial... that doesn't matter. I do so much miss my Friend. I know she is at peace. I still love her and forgive her for leaving. I just hope for me, that I will see her again and feel the joy and love that our friendship knew. For now I will just have to wait...
I am so so sorry, I know it's still a stigma to some and they maybe feel ashamed. I too know the pain you feel. It can be overwhelming. Keep going, stay strong and know you will meet her again, speak her name and remember the good memories ❤❤
My son in law killed himself a week ago today. He walked up to an old cabin on the mountain behind his house and hung hisself. My daughter ( his wife) and baby (16 months old) and I were out of town visiting my other daughter. When she couldn’t get in touch with him, my daughter called a friend of theirs to go to their house and check on him. When he didn’t find him at home, he knew about the cabin so he walked the 2 miles up the mountain and found him. If you’ve never experienced a loss like that, I can’t describe it. It’s a struggle to see my daughter’s heart break, and to know that my granddaughter will never know her dad. Suicide may end the suffering for 1 person, but it causes the suffering of so many others that love them. It’s hard to understand the thought process of someone that does this to themselves. It’s hard not to think the person that does it is just being selfish. After all, there was no life insurance, no pre paid funeral, no paid off home. It leaves questions unanswered, and gaping wounds that may not heal.
I am a Medium. I was in a meditation group before Covid. I had no idea what was in store for me. I went into what was called breathless meditation, this is where you actually stop breathing. I had this happen to me twice. I went to a place that was dark. It was total darkness and no sound. I was a part of everything and everyone. It was bliss. I have no words to describe it. I have heard of one other person that experienced this. It happened to him when he was 9 years old. There was a terrible tragedy that happened in Kansas City, Mo. It was the Hyatt Regency Disaster of July 17, 1981. He and his mother were pinned under the walkways that collapsed on tea room dancers. There was a documentary lately at our local news station about the disaster. The last segment included the interview with the now 43 year old man. He asked his mother if they were going to die. She was honest and told him she didn't know, but was sure they would go to a better place. He went to the same place I went to during meditation. He said someone told him he could stay if he wanted. He was also told he could go back. He used the same ways to explain his surroundings. He also said, there were no words to describe where he had gone, or the feeling he felt there. So I am here to tell you, Shane is exactly where he wanted to go. He is a part of it all. God Bless Him.
In USA the mental health crisis number to call is 988. You do not need to be suicidal to call. I'm in therapy and have been told to call if I come close to breaking down.
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I lost a daughter to mental health and addiction issues almost 7 years ago. 988 here is special to me as I will share it as much as possible. She's buried in a small, maybe 400 people, "family" cemetery.
You never know the pain someone has within. To anyone who feels like you can’t go on, Please remember that people care about You!! Even perfect Strangers like, me! I truly care about You!!! We are here for You! Sue and GV, an Absolutely Beautiful Episode. To All who knew and Cared about Shane, Please accept my Sincere Condolences………..🪬💔🌹🧿♥️🧿🌹💔🪬
Thats what i believe to, we all return to 1 main thing. I always say things to my mother she thinks about and the other way around. That backs up my beliefs.
Not that u know of but I've punnes a comment at the top here of one million Dubliners you can watch and you'll find him in several documentaries on you tube too
This was so sad I've never heard of this guy and yet it made me cry he was so popular and very clever yet his demons got the better of him people don't understand Depression is an illness I hope he's where he wanted to be now ❤

Did the tour a couple of times but luckily had Shane for one of them. It was a proper treat he made the tour magical, he was full of historical knowledge and i was heart broken when i heard. The film one millon dubliners was brilliant and the ending was so sad 😢
You are very blessed to have had Shane for your tour ❤️
Very well done
Thanks so much ❤️
😢so sad. RIP Shane🙏🏼🇮🇪
As someone who battles with depression i understand his plight, and that sometimes death seems the only answer. In those times i have to focus on the devastation i would cause to my child and grandchild, and keep fighting the 'black dog' with everything i can muster.
Lovely tribute Sue 🫶🏼
Keep fighting Clare, you are loved ❤️
Beautiful tribute Sue. May Shane R.I.P. I lost a cousin to suicide when I was seven. I was actually in the house when he took his own life. May all those who need help get it. ....and to those who never got the help they needed....R.I.P.
Thank you Kris, it's extremely hard to move on after someone we love decides to leave, it's heartbreaking
Lovely tribute to Shane thank you Sue and GV. So sad how he and so many others succumbed to ending their lives because of the silent killer, depression.
Early this year I nearly lost my husband to depression. We were so blessed that Heavenly Father didn’t take him and sent my love back to us.
So many people here in Australia that have passed to suicide just this year alone. 😢
Thank you for sharing with us ❤️
So Sad 😞 RIP Shane thankyou sue for sharing ❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you ❤️
such a moving video, thank you.. tragic and sad, He ended his pain in the place he felt the strongest connection, It became his happy place.. that sounds weird I know. My happy place is where my family are buried the black dog of depression waits outside. (I lost my Mother to depression she was 62 and a niece just last year 24 yrs of age).. I'm 72 and have been struggling for over 35 years with it..
Yes, he said this cemetery lifted hos spirit. I know that loss only too well and it's devastating. Please don't ever feel alone, life is hard but you deserve it. Sending love ❤️
Thank you for sharing this story or a tortured soul. He is at rest now
He is..
I was on a tour of the cemetery with Shane as guide a few weeks before. He was great. Lord have mercy on him.
Thank you, ❤️
That was a lovely tribute rip shane
Thank you, may he rest in peace

Of that, I have no doubts at all. I've experienced WAY too much in my life to think otherwise.

It's a sad story. That seems like a very crowded cemetery there.
@@navydogsadventures3500 it is, I have a video before this of the cemetery
Such a sad ending for his life. My prayers are with you, Shane’s friends and his family.
Thanks Cheryl ❤️
O woow that was heartbreaking. Rip Shane, god love you .
Thank you for that sue. ❤
Thanks Sue, it's so sad
Sue, during the depression, my mother's father took his life, financial problems, leaving my grandmother with 5 children to raise alone. 30 years later, his mother, took her life because she was becoming infirm and was worried she could no longer maintain the farm. She didn't want to be a burden to anyone. About 75 years later, despondent over ongoing covid restrictions, in his 80's, my uncle took his life. 3 generations. I was almost 4 when the call came about my greatgrandmother. Spent many years wondering if this was a family tradition, was I supposed to carry it on? My mother had lifetime struggles dealing with her father's death. Depression runs in families. Suicide affects families in manifold ways, started with whispers children do not process well without guidance. A friend took his life when cancer had almost completely destroyed his body. Some suicides are easier to understand than others, but all leave terrible legacies that the individuals in families struggle with throughout their lives. Impossible to fully know why a person resorts to such measures.
That is so sad. Sending love
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Blessings of love upon your heart, from the Sacred Heart.
His Dad Eamon MacThomais was wonderful Republican and. historian,his documentary from the 1970s Dublin a personal view is still on TH-cam RIP Shane
I'll look it up, thank you
It's brilliant all old Dublin:)
I have touched by suicide 2x , my cousin and my Best Friend. My cousin was quite ill with returned cancer so I understand and he forewarned... My Best Friend, I had no idea she was suicidal. She HID it well or perhaps I missed indications... Her family stated,
"she was murderd". A couple of years later I called local police to see if investigations had found the ,"culprit". The clerk kindly told me to brace myself... she said, that my Best Friend had shot, "herself in the heart! " apparently the family was ashamed and were decietful or perhaps knew but were in denial... that doesn't matter. I do so much miss my Friend. I know she is at peace. I still love her and forgive her for leaving. I just hope for me, that I will see her again and feel the joy and love that our friendship knew. For now I will just have to wait...
I am so so sorry, I know it's still a stigma to some and they maybe feel ashamed. I too know the pain you feel. It can be overwhelming. Keep going, stay strong and know you will meet her again, speak her name and remember the good memories ❤❤
My son in law killed himself a week ago today. He walked up to an old cabin on the mountain behind his house and hung hisself. My daughter ( his wife) and baby (16 months old) and I were out of town visiting my other daughter. When she couldn’t get in touch with him, my daughter called a friend of theirs to go to their house and check on him. When he didn’t find him at home, he knew about the cabin so he walked the 2 miles up the mountain and found him. If you’ve never experienced a loss like that, I can’t describe it. It’s a struggle to see my daughter’s heart break, and to know that my granddaughter will never know her dad. Suicide may end the suffering for 1 person, but it causes the suffering of so many others that love them. It’s hard to understand the thought process of someone that does this to themselves. It’s hard not to think the person that does it is just being selfish. After all, there was no life insurance, no pre paid funeral, no paid off home. It leaves questions unanswered, and gaping wounds that may not heal.
I am so sorry, unfortunately I know this story only too well. It is devastating. Sending love and healing prayers to you all ❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards thank you. We are taking it one day at a time
I am a Medium. I was in a meditation group before Covid. I had no idea what was in store for me. I went into what was called breathless meditation, this is where you actually stop breathing. I had this happen to me twice. I went to a place that was dark. It was total darkness and no sound. I was a part of everything and everyone. It was bliss. I have no words to describe it. I have heard of one other person that experienced this. It happened to him when he was 9 years old. There was a terrible tragedy that happened in Kansas City, Mo. It was the Hyatt Regency Disaster of July 17, 1981. He and his mother were pinned under the walkways that collapsed on tea room dancers. There was a documentary lately at our local news station about the disaster. The last segment included the interview with the now 43 year old man. He asked his mother if they were going to die. She was honest and told him she didn't know, but was sure they would go to a better place. He went to the same place I went to during meditation. He said someone told him he could stay if he wanted. He was also told he could go back. He used the same ways to explain his surroundings. He also said, there were no words to describe where he had gone, or the feeling he felt there. So I am here to tell you, Shane is exactly where he wanted to go. He is a part of it all. God Bless Him.
Thanks Sylvia, it's heartbreaking but I believe he is where there is the purest peace
Rest in peace to a beautiful soul what a shame he couldn't get the relief he needed before this happen.
Thanks Cathy ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Your welcome
Yes rest in peace Shane 🙏🙏
Thank you ❤️
In USA the mental health crisis number to call is 988. You do not need to be suicidal to call. I'm in therapy and have been told to call if I come close to breaking down.
Thanks Carrie ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I lost a daughter to mental health and addiction issues almost 7 years ago. 988 here is special to me as I will share it as much as possible. She's buried in a small, maybe 400 people, "family" cemetery.
@carriebakerim5161 I'm so sorry for your loss

Very very nice alter yard and if a person takes their own life then they Choose their own destiny No 1 else does.
That's true but knowing lots of those who have done this, some recently, it is devastating to those who are left behind
Maybe Shane felt not alone here but happy and at rest.May Shane and his dad R.I.P together 🙏🙏🙏👍🇦🇺
