Remembering BrilliantTurtle89

Heather225 June 28th

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 I am very shocked to hear this, it took me a while to get my thoughts together and type this but its still very overwhelming, Turtle was a gem, me and her had great conversations and i will miss it <3 I had no idea and i definitely wondered why she wasnt online these days. She was a great person, very funny and great sense of humour despite things in her life. I hope her family and her children find the strength. I loved turtle. Rest in peace <3

I saw this last night but didn’t know what to say exactly 🥺 I still don’t know what to say right now, it hurts so much 😔💜

@Heather225 It is really unfortunate news to hear about the passing of such a positive force here on cups. BrilliantTurtle always uplifted the LSR and left an inclusive foot print. Thank you for placing this post so people could celebrate her legacy and share in her memory. I have nothing, but high hopes for her families ability to come to terms with their loss. She will be missed.

Our conversations were always during my late nights and her early mornings. I always called her Mrs Turtle and asked about her little turtled every time I got a chance  

I cant believe you wont be here anymore Mrs Turtle. May your young family and friends find comfort in the wonderful person you are and will always be. 

And to our 7 cups family, stay together and find strength in our memories of time spent with her.

This came as such a shock. She has spent many years in service of 7 Cups. I saw her many times in teen rooms. She was kind and resilient.

My condolences to her family and friends. I can only imagine how challenging things are right now. You are in my thoughts.

What sad, sad news. I am sending my condolences, love, and gentle wings to wrap up her young family and keep them all safe. 

Dearest 🐢MammaT,💖

We joined the same year and instantly became good friends. We shared so much and supported each other in many projects. I will miss your wonderful stories, and will never forget the year your donkey became famous in the nativity play, we laughed so much!

Your touch here will be missed in so many ways, and by so many people. I am proud to have known you and shared time with you ✨🦋🐢✨

I still find it unbelievable.

Dear Turtle,

          I'm honestly at a loss of words even now.. The day I came back to cups and I get hit with an absolute tragedy.. You've made such an impact on me and so many other people on cups that your legacy is enshrined in us, I miss you loads and I just wish I could've spoken to you more. I was away from Cups for some reason and it hurts so deeply that I know that the distance between the last time I've talked to you will never stop increasing. I will be forever grateful for how much you've helped me, I still remember the times when you helped me get out of spiraling and I will never be able to thank you enough for that. I still remember how kind and nice you were to all of us and how fondly you chatted with us.. I may have also gotten a bit of inspiration from your shoe collection actually hehe

         It just stings so bad.. I wish I talked to you more Turtle, you meant a lot to many of us and myself too, I regret not coming back on to Cups earlier... I was too late. There's so much more I want to say but I just don't have it in me to articulate it.. I wish you were here to celebrate my birthday.. I swear I won't ever forget how much you helped and mean to me Turtle. Thank you so much for everything. I miss you so much and I have so much love and respect for you. 💙


          I wish everyone else can grieve in peace and remember their love for Turtle too.


Love,

Aqua💙

Heaven just got a bit sweeter for all of us upon her death.

I hope you find peace in the silence that once filled the chat with Turtle's bright charisma.
