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.
@GlenM
May this beautiful soul rest in peace. 💓
@GlenM. I'm so sorry to hear this. Condolences to her family. I hope everyone is staying safe!
@GlenM - First, for you Glen, thank you for letting us know! I really do appreciate that.
It feels so strange to read your message just now/tonight. I was actually just talking with my counselor about Amelia briefly this afternoon! Yes, today! wow (sad eyes)
Amelia (aka RocketsMom) listened very well. I mean I know this is "only" online, but it was like if we were in person she was actually *actively* listening. Some people can listen, but they do so only with their ears. Some people listen with their ears AND their eyes. Some people listen like with their whole body, somehow (this is the hardest one for me to explain). But even though we were 'only' chatting 1-1 online, on 7cupsoftea.com ... she still listened to me very well. I am, and will be for a long time, very thankful for that.
Glen? I hope that you are able to find the correct contact information for her family. Please express our sympathies (with empathy) to her family. Even if just from me. I would like to tell them, thank you for lending your Sister, Daughter, Aunt, Mom, G'ma, wife(?), dear friend to us here at 7cups. I'm sure there were times when Amelia would be in a 1-1 chat or group chat and was being called by someone for supper, or help tie shoes, or 'here's my leash mom, outside now?' 
Take care of yous, dear family of Amelia! I wish I could offer more assistance, but I'm not even sure where y'all live! I do invite you to come to the Grief and Loss section of 7cups. If you write there, I'm sure someone/s of us will write with you. ((Sending just the right kind of *hugs* that you need in this moment)) ~ Platy
P.S. ((Puppy snuggles)) Love you too, Rocket! Be a good boy, ok? ((asks your extended family, then Platy gives you a treat)) Take care my canine friend! ((kisses kisses and a hug))
I didn't know her but I send my condolences to the family and her loved ones, no one deserves to die or lose someone.
May her soul rest in peace
Rest In Peace Amelia
@GlenM I didnt know her personally but I know this community.We all lost fakily by loosing her. May her soul rest in peace and I wish strenth for her loved ones to remember her in fondness and not grief.
@GlenM i'm really sorry, even tho I haven't met her, she seems to be someone really generous and kind knowing that she was in the community. May her soul rest in peace 😔🙏🏻
This is sad news indeed. I don't have any specific anecdotes to share, but when I first joined up as a Listener and was moderating the chatrooms (back when they originally opened), Amelia was someone I appreciated talking to and really looked up to. The world is a sadder and poorer place without her.
@GlenM
I, unfortunately, didn't have the privilege to know her... I only recently started becoming active in this community. Still, it breaks my heart knowing this. Amelia sounds like a wonderful person. Much love and strength to her family, friends and everyone in this community who knew her. May she Rest in Peace, and Power.
