We all hope we won’t ever endure tragedy, but of course, none of us are shielded from experiencing loss and grief. When the unthinkable does happen, we don’t really know how we will act. We can only hope it will be with some sort of grace and dignity, which is exactly how Amy Eldon handled the unforeseen death of her brother.

She was just 19-years-old when her older sibling, Dan, died while on assignment as a photojournalist in Somalia. He was only 22. Shortly after his death, Amy and her mother, Kathy Eldon, sprung into action keeping Dan’s memory alive, while inspiring others with his generous heart and creative spirit.

This is her story!
