Remembering BrilliantTurtle89
It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of our very dear @BrilliantTurtle89.
Turtle was an invaluable member of the community who embraced everyone she met with love and compassion, regardless of their background, culture, age, or length of time on the site. She treated everyone fairly and made them feel like they belonged to the community when she was around. She was a vibrant, caring, and compassionate soul who made the community a better and more caring place with her guiding presence. She taught us all how to be resilient and encouraged us to focus on finding solutions to problems instead of worrying about the problems themselves.
She demonstrated this through her listening, mentorship, and leadership here at 7Cups. Her work in the Group Chats was phenomenal, and she had a special place in her heart for teens and put in extra effort to support them. Sadly, this community has lost a piece of itself with the passing of Turtle.
Not only did Turtle leave a lasting impression on everyone on this site, she regularly would express how much she loved being a part of this community. From the very beginning, the warmth, support, and camaraderie she experienced uplifted her. Being surrounded by thoughtful and kind-hearted people made a profound impact on her. Each interaction, whether it’s a thoughtful discussion, a shared laugh, or a simple word of encouragement, reinforces how special this community was to her.
As we mourn the loss of Turtle, we also celebrate her remarkable life and the legacy she leaves behind. Her compassion, generosity, and dedication will continue to inspire us all. While we grieve, let us also remember the joy and positivity Turtle brought into our lives and strive to honor her memory by following in her footsteps.
We remember Turtle in her roles: ATL, Care Team Guide, Chatroom Mentor (adults & teens), Chat Support, Community Mentor, Group Moderator, Group Support Ambassador, Group Support Mentor, Listener Coach, Quality Mentor Leader, Teen Transition Mentor, and the Verifiers Team.
Our deepest condolences go out to Turtle's family and friends during this difficult time. May we all find comfort in the beautiful memories we shared with Turtle and in knowing that her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
@Heather225 What a beautiful soul and a wonderful person<3 Thank you sharing this heartfelt message.
It's been a while so I wanted to gather my thoughts first. Words don't hold any power on their own but it's the person saying them that gives them meaning & warmth and every interaction I've had with turtle was filled with so much warmth and compassion. Only a special kind of heart can hold so much love and care for others, to selflessly want to help and heal the world in whatever way possible. It's a loss I'm sure all those who have had the chance to meet turtle will feel deeply in their hearts. May their soul rest in peace <3
@Heather225 Turtle was such a beautiful person and she will be missed on all her roles, including Care Team 🩵
@Heather225
What awful news. I cannot describe in words what her family must be going through right now. My heart goes out to them especially her kids. She will be forever in our hearts and we will miss her immensely. She was such an amazing soul and a bright light in the 7Cups community.
Rest in Peace Turtle. You are loved ❤

Oh nu, did she have kids? 🥲
@azuladragon34
They're so awful news, I didn't expect she had kids and I can imagine what are they going through without her mother💔

When I first met Turtle back in 2017 she came into the LSR asking for help. We ended up in a conversation and I directed her on how to handle a chat. From there, a friendship was formed and we created a bond over the years. She was the first to know about my renal failure and was a listening ear for my worries about that. We shared our struggles together. She never once judged any of my choices or feelings nor did I hers. I loved hearing about her human and animal family when we were able to connect. I will forever cherish what we went through together and the memories we have. She was truly an amazing person.
I miss her lots
Soz i didnt realy no what to say yesterday i still cant believe it 😢😢 Turtle was 1 my first listners on cups n she always helped me with so much stuff even maths hw n problems at school n she always managed to make me smile somehow even when i was in the worst mood il miss turtle so much cups will never be the same again without her 😢 RIP Turtle 🐢
This is very shocking news. Turtle has been swimming around 7 Cups (as she would say) for so long now that I feel she's always been a part of my journey here. She was a light to everyone in the groups, for both listeners, users, and especially teens. I loved how she would speak about her little ones and mention bits of her day. She showed me resilience through some of her tough times and I was very much cheering for her, always. RIP Turtle and my best to the family -- I will hold on to Turtle's light and make sure I swim forwards with some cheer and cookies.

I remember Turtle as a beautiful, caring and such a bright person. Turtle brightened the atmosphere in TCR and in so many rooms and was so supportive and accepting of others, she accepted and supported me for me and for that I am so grateful to have met turtle. The teens side, has had so much fun with turtle and so many jokes and happy times. Its so sad to hear about turtle's passing. 💗 7cups shares beautiful and amazing memories of turtle and @brilliantTurtle89 will never be forgotten by the community. They brought happiness, and shined light wherever they went.
Rest well turtle. 💗 you will forever be in our hearts.
