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 A new member, but I can feel the immense positivity and kindness she brought to this community. I don't know her but I pray she rests in peace, and I pray for her family too. Sending all my love to her in Heaven.
@animellow Amen!
I'm just now seeing this after being gone for some time and I am heartbroken. Amelia was just such an inspiration to me on this site and just in life. She would always be present when I needed support or advice on how to deal with situations and I learned so much from her. She even went out of her way and jumped through a billion hoops to work with me personally in fulfilling my college community service requirements, for which I will forever be grateful.
Amelia was the first person I looked for coming back onto the site today and I'm devastated to see that she's passed, that was the furthest thing from my mind that could have happened to her. I will forever cherish the time I spent learning from her and everything she did for me.
Amelia, I hope you have the most peaceful rest. You have impacted so many lives, including mine. I can only hope to be half as compassionate and warmhearted as you. Thank you so much for everything and I'm so incredibly grateful to have known you. I sincerely wish I had stayed in touch more. You will forever be a role model to me.
@KawaiiKitty I'm really sorry, it's heartbreaking. I'm glad you can treasure the great memories you have with Amelia. Her legacy is living on and we will remember her.
Thanks for sharing!
@GlenM
My heart breaks for the community and myself. I knew her since she was my OG internship leader.
I just found out about this today.
I'm lost for words.
@GlenM Im late on this post but I just wanted to share my condolences. She was a beautiful person and helped me so much in my initial journey on 7 Cups. I hope shes in a better and happy place. Angel <3
We are blessed by her vison. She gave us a way to get help. Her work lives on and she still is contributing to touch lives. How many people can do such a thing? I know those who knew her personally will miss her..
Even relatively small acts of kindness and compassion can have a bigger impact on people's lives than most will ever know. I think we can only scratch the surface of knowing how many lives she changed for the better, but I can tell you it includes mine. Amelia has gone above and beyond what was expected many times and she was truly someone I looked up to. She will be deeply missed.
Rest in peace.
