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.
Very sad news to hear , my huge condolences go out to the family 💓
Truly heartbreaking :( my condolences to her family

RIP Amelia
I am sad she passed away even though I never met her personally because nobody wants to find out someone has died.
@GlenM
My sincere condolences to her family!
@GlenM This is incredibly shocking and saddening to hear. I am absolutely lost for words. Amelia spent a lot of time caring for the community and trying to make 7cups an even better place to be. She was so kindhearted, friendly and approachable. Her presence and aura will be missed. My condolensces to everyone who may be affected by hearing of her passing.
@GlenM sorry to hear of Amelia's passing. She was a very dedicated person working in the hospital as well as working at 7cups. I did not know till much later on a chat she and I had, how much she really did in her life. She could have been a double for Wonder Woman they way she made things happen.
Amelia was always responding to my PMs, faster than any other staff member. It was amazing how fast she got back to me. And she always knew how to solve the problem without alot of fuss.
There was a kindness and generosity in how she responded to people that words alone fail to describe. Amelia was like a gardner that nurtured many leaders at 7cups. I know she helped my garden immensely. Thank you Amelia.
Amelia will be sorely missed by this community.

i don't think I ever got to meet Amelia but I see the comments here posted and my heart breaks for everything that this community has lost with one of its members. And though I might not be in the direct line I'm crying reading through, the impact that it's having here.
though we all know it's a really trying time between covid-19 and now a time of a lot of grief I want to also put a reminder that everyone here is important. And a lot of people here are breaking because of this announcement. But seeing others hurting doesn't mean that just because we are listeners we have to take a back burner. We are hurt and even amid time that others need us more, we can still say we are more important. Don't think for a second that the grief is less important than what anyone else may be going through because everyone else is also a vital key to the site. We are a community, we prove this again and again. So please, anyone that needs to grieve, don't do it alone. We are grieving together whether we directly lost a friend or just seeing the impact left behind.
I do grieve for the life that impacted so many here, and I understand this hurt. Condolences to the family and friends and anyone else that she made an impact on both here and in her personal life, we will never be able to replace her, she will always have a special place within us.
This is so heartbreaking to hear, and has taken me into a bit of a shock. I feel privileged to have been able to interact and know Amelia for the time I was on 7 Cups. I came into 7 Cups when she was already at her prime, she helped me with my first failed attempt at the internship, and encouraged me to try again once I felt I was ready. She welcomed me back into the teen side after I aged up and made sure I felt supported. She was an amazing person, and I could tell from the get go how much passion she had for helping people. I'm thinking of everyone she touched during her time on 7 Cups, and her family. I know I'm not alone in saying, she will be dearly missed

Godbless her heart! I send healing and prayers to her friends and family. This is too tragic...
@GlenM Terribly sad news and a shock to lose such a bright star.
The world is brighter for her having been here but dimmer from her loss. I hope Rocket is taken care of and will be okay too. Rest in peace Amelia my friend
