Remembering musicalMagic
I have some sad news to share. MusicalMagic has passed. She was a vibrant, kind, and compassionate soul that filled 7 Cups with her own music. She taught us all how to better listen to others that are struggling; how to tune in and provide better support. This is especially true in her mentoring work.
I just read through her reviews and this one stood out to me:
Stayed around and gave me hug after hug to help me make it thru the night. Thanks Magic.
I love that quote because that captures her spirit to me. She stayed around, she didnt give up on people, she walked alongside them, and she helped them heal, grow, and sometimes flourish.
I was talking with the ambassadors about her passing this morning. Obs shared how she was always looking out and helping Obs each step of the way. Tazzie highlighted her encouraging work as a mentor and came up with the idea of honoring musicalMagic with a badge. This new badge will be made on Monday:
musicalMagic - For spreading kindness in the listener rooms.
Please share thoughts below to help us remember musicalMagic. We will also find a family contact so we can share these thoughts with them. If you have a contact, then please let me know.

Deepest condolences :( RIP.
Though I didn't know her, I knew of her. And everything I knew of her was nothing short of excellent. I passed her a few times whether in rooms or in forums or feed in the past, and she never had a bad word to say about anybody or anything. I could see that she was fierce, passionate and loving. I could sense her energy and love surrounding her, leaving wherever she went a happier place than before she entered it. Some people, you just know. And I'm not saying it because of what has tragically happened.
RIP MusicalMagic- you will be badly missed. ❤️
@GlenM
Oh my gosh . . .
@GlenM
Thank you! May their soul rest in peace. They were wonderfully supportive and I am sure musicalMagic 💞 will continue to live in our hearts.
Hope their family and friends find the strength to cope with this huge loss.
I have no words to express the deep melancholy this brings within this melon. musicalMagic was my friend, and an inspiration to everyone.

•Chat Tips by musicalMagic My Tips on all chats subjects
1-Whatever the topic might be, the basics always apply-you want to give them acceptance, validate their feelings, reflect back what you think they're saying, empathize, ask open ended questions and be non-judgmental! And you can always message a mentor for further help!
2-I also want to add I try to give them positive messages as in I'm so proud of you for reaching out to me or you're a very strong and courageous person! I really admire you and…
3-I think it also helps if possible and applicable to the situation, to be able to relate an experience in your life you've had so they understand that you understand what they are going through. I always say, I'm not you of course but I have some idea of what you're going through because I've been in a similar situation.
**We are not here to solve problems or fix people only to listen and give emotional support by listening, validating feelings, empathy and the techniques or tools of active listening which is explained in number one!**
**Be kind! I try to always be kind to everyone I chat with be it members, listeners or guests. Kindness is so very important as well as encouragement. You never know what someone is going through and being kind, caring, polite, respectful can help them a lot. 💞
