What would you do if your spouse had just six months left to live?

Grief is often a topic we avoid—until life forces it upon us. In this deeply moving episode of the Legacy of Love Podcast, host Sara Ecklein sits down with Amy Shaw, a mother of 10, widow, and author of Navigating Goodbye, who faced unimaginable loss and found strength through radical acceptance and faith.

In this episode, you will: 

• Learn how to embrace grief as a pathway to deeper connection and purposeful living
• Discover why involving children in hard conversations can be the most loving act
• Understand how openly discussing death can profoundly transform how we live and the legacy we leave behind

Press play to hear a courageous and soul-stirring conversation that will challenge how you love, grieve, and build your legacy.

About Amy Shaw:

Amy Shaw never set out to become an end-of-life concierge. But after years of living abroad and raising ten children—four biological and six adopted—her world shifted when her husband Brian was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Together, they made a radical choice: to celebrate his life rather than fear the end. That journey inspired Walk the Red, Amy’s signature program that empowers individuals and caregivers with a compassionate protocol for dying well.
