BBG News

Victoria Mary Clark, who was married to Shane MacGowan, recently shared the sad news about the demise of her dear father, Dave, only fifteen months following the death of The Pogues’ lead vocalist.

The 58-year-old Irish journalist shared devastating news on X, expressing difficulty in coming to terms with the unexpected passing of the individual. The reason for his death remained undisclosed.

In addition to sharing a touching photo with her father, Victoria honored his memory by acknowledging his “warm, humorous, and compassionate” character, referring to him as an “absolute gentleman.

she wrote: Yesterday, my beloved father Dave sadly died. It came as a surprise and I’m finding it extremely difficult to cope with the news.

He was an exceptionally well-mannered man, filled with warmth, humor, kindness, profound intelligence, and a fierce intellect. His affection for his family knew no bounds, and he held a deep love for acting and West Ham United FC. Truly, his heart overflowed with love.

In November 2023, aged 65, the renowned Irish rocker Shane passed away peacefully, surrounded by his wife and loved ones.

For several months, the singer was repeatedly admitted to Dublin’s St. Vincent’s Hospital due to a severe illness called viral encephalitis, which is potentially fatal and causes swelling in the brain.

In November, Victoria deeply mourned on the anniversary of her wedding with her deceased spouse.

She openly admitted feeling an intense longing for the lead singer of The Pogues, a yearning she never imagined she could have. Additionally, she expressed a sentiment that she finds no purpose or meaning in life at the moment.

The couple – who had a eight year age difference – began dating in 1986 and married in 2018. 

On Instagram, she shared a picture from their wedding day and wrote an emotional caption: ‘Today marks our wedding anniversary, and I find it incredibly difficult.’

I’m lying in bed, shedding tears with no joy or purpose in life seeming apparent. I deeply yearn for him, more than I ever imagined I could.

Although I’m aware that these feelings are temporary and I’ll have moments of happiness and gratitude once more, remembering all we experienced together.

And yet, I understand that Shane is content in a different realm, where he’s with his radiant mother, Therese.

Reflecting on my heartache, I mused: “It’s an odd realization, being human and feeling this intense pain, yet simultaneously recognizing the depth of my soul, its everlasting nature, and its immense power, brimming with love and radiance.

Occasionally, you might feel incredibly disconnected, as if love is far away. However, the pathway to reconnect with love is none other than love itself.

Offering guidance on navigating grief, she suggested: ‘If you’re feeling hurt, try speaking kindly to yourself, find ways to nurture and care for yourself, and continuously ask angels for aid in mending the ache in your heart and alleviating the weight, allowing light to enter instead.’

It’s perfectly okay to feel sad sometimes, as you are a unique blend of strength and sensitivity – a beautiful soul and a delicate human being, all in one.

Adapt to the situation at hand, giving yourself room to listen to the whispers of your inner self and your guardian spirits. Know that you are deeply cherished, whether you feel lonely or not, and especially when you believe yourself to be all alone.

Expressing gratitude, she closed by saying: ‘I’m eternally thankful for your presence in my life, my dear @shanemacgowanofficial. My love for you is boundless and enduring.’

In the year 2018, following eleven years of engagement and many decades together, Shane and Victoria tied the knot in Copenhagen.

Additionally, Victoria confessed that she experienced feelings of wanting to end her life following her husband’s passing, as she shared insights into her profound mourning journey.

In conversation with The Independent, Victoria openly discussed her profound sorrow, saying, “Indeed, there was immense emptiness and hopelessness. There were several instances when I seriously considered ending my life, yearning to leave this world and reunite with the one I’ve lost.

According to the report, Victoria reached out multiple times to the suicide prevention organization, The Samaritans, and received emotional support from her family during her distressing times. Victoria herself stated that she does not see a simple or straightforward path for getting over her grief.
