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.

Rest in peace, Amelia. Life is a wonderful gift, and she really made the most of her gift by sharing it with all of us.
@GlenM Hello,Mr:Glen,that really seemed like a 'special friendship'.From what I hear from you and others,Ms:Amelia meant business when it came to being dedicated.As someone who has learned so much from 7cups,its undeniable that being a part of the early 7cups staff,Ms:Amelia's contribution was very important in 7cups growing.Without ppl like Her,7 cups may not have grown as much which means it would have been a site unknown to the world.Then I would never have been able to learn all I have so far.So I take this moment to 'Thank her' for all these things she did here.May Her soul rest in peace.........And I like the way you talked about 'how 7 cups users can honor Her work here';i.e by going the extra mile for those you serve.Thank you for appreciating Her work and for the 'sweet gesture' towards her family........
I sadly did not know Amelia very well but in my interactions with her— she was always kindhearted and knowledgeable. She was dedicated to 7Cups and ensuring a peaceful and purposeful atmosphere.
This caught me so offguard, I can't even imagine what her family must be going through. May peace surround her spirit and family, and everyone impacted by this deep loss.
@GlenM
That's a real punch to the gut. I had no idea. Amelia was my quality mentor when I was just getting started as an active listener and I worked with her in the internship. She was a real friend and I really miss her. This is making me really sad. Does anyone know what took her? She was so young.
@GlenM. Let her rest in peace and have a good place in heaven which she deserves for all the good she did! My condolences!
-For Amelias Family and listeners-
I lit a candle tonight and went outisde and prayed for all grieving. Not much but .. hope it helps.
@GlenMI have never met Amelia nor spoken to her, but this is very shocking. After reading your replies, I really wish I could re-do yesterday just to get an opportunity to talk with Amelia. It is sad hearing this, but I know that we can all get through this together!
Stay safe everyone and take care! :)
@GlenM I am sure that she will rest in peace because of all the great stuff she did on 7cups.
@GlenM
I am so sorry for your loss. She did wonderful things though that help out listeners and members. For that, I thank her and appreciate her.
