Remembering Amelia
All,
I have some sad news to share with you. Amelia, a friend of our community has passed. She was one of our early listeners, a psychologist, the creator of our internship program and admin, and someone who regularly went the extra mile.
The older I get the more important I see how going the extra mile matters. Amelia always went the extra mile. I know she went the extra mile for many of you. She did for me and for that I will always be thankful.
Amelias passing is another reminder of how fragile we are. This is especially true as we all navigate COVID-19. We see all too clearly how delicate this life can be.
Lets remember Amelia and grieve her passing together. If you have a positive memory or story, then please share it here.
Im also trying to find her familys info so I can send them flowers on behalf of our community. We lost a good friend. Lets cherish those we love and honor Amelia by going the extra mile for that person that might be struggling more than we know.
Update: We sent flowers to her mother and pointed to this thread to help her loved ones know Amelia's impact here. Thank you all for helping this be a testament to her time here on 7 Cups.
This is so tragic and unexpected. I will never forget the good work she did here, and so many people she helped. She was a friend that truly cared about people. Amelia is one of those rare people we cross paths with that make a real impact on us. An inspiration to many on here. Amelia made this community a better place. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this time. She was loved and respected by all. She will never be forgotten. May she rest in peace.
@Power well said Power. May she rest in peace.
@GlenM- I am truly shocked and heartbroken by this news. Amelia was such an incredible, beautiful, amazing person and most of all friend! I was a listener before she joined 7 cups but she was such a go-getter! I remember how I'd tease her about how quickly she climbed the leadership ladder! I was in awe of her passion and drive and love of this community. She loved helping people as much as I did and so many of us do! She was an amazing friend to me and so many here.
I will never forget you Amelia! I love you so much and thank you for being an incredible friend and person to me and our community. Although I would tease you that I could never keep up with all of your leadership positions, I truly admired you for everything you did and wanted to follow in your footsteps! Thank you for being such an incredible friend and role model to me and so many. I will never ever forget you my lovely, wonderful, beautiful, kind and inspiring friend!
*Love and Hugs*
Always, Magic💞
@GlenM This is unexpected and shocking news to hear today. It is heartbreaking. I knew her as one of the kindest, coolest and super friendly and supportive people on the site. Always up to help. I had a small encounter with her but she left an impression for long. It reminds me that you always remember people by how they made you feel. And, when I joined the site, she made me feel home.
She will always be in our beautiful memories.
May she rests in peace!!
Thank you for making this post @GlenM. To say this is tragic is an understatement, I am still trying to wrap my head around this. Amelia was truly one of the kindest and the most genuine people I ever had the pleasure of knowing. She was the one who reminded me to pace myself and to take self-care seriously, It was her who supported me as an Intern and because of her I am still involved in the Internship project, a project she created. As an admin she was busy but she always had the time to respond to everyone, she believed that people could change and she was willing to support them throughout the process.
She was open about her life and experiences, she truly cared about this community and each and every one of us. I will not forget the valuable things she taught me in my time of knowing her and I truly hope that she in a better place. May her soul rest in peace.
This news is truly heartbreaking. Amelia was extremely supportive and kindhearted. Their outstanding contributions to our community will always be valued and cherished. May their soul rest in peace. My heart goes out to their family and friends.
Thank you @GlenM!

So sad to hear about her passing. She was a great asset to 7 Cups and was incredibly helpful to me here during some very trying times.
My heartfelt condolences goes out to her family, relatives, friends and co-workers. May she rest in peace.
Amelia was a wonderful friend to me and always gave me the benefit of the doubt. I am tearful as we say goodbye to a loving friend of the community.
I am so shocked and saddened to hear this news. Amelia was one of the kindest and most hardworking people i have had the pleasure of meeting here, she always did go the extra mile for everyone and for this community. She was a wonderful part of my lcr team back in 2015 and helped to make 7 cups a safe and supportive environment for everyone. Her kind nature was infectious and pictures of Rocket were always a talking point.
Sending love out to the whole community. Life is fragile and precious and we all need to learn to be more gentle with one another
