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.
