All surviving siblings have a different story. Chelsey and Clint were inseparable when they were kids. Most of the time they were by themselves because their father was in and out of the picture and their mother was a single mom, working two jobs to provide for them. Chelsey was about to graduate and was looking forward to having her brother at her graduation. When she received “the call”, she couldn’t believe her brother had died in a mountain climbing accident.

In this week's episode, Chelsey shares about her and Clint growing up, how she found out that he had been in a mountain climbing accident, her relationship with mom and dad after Clint passed, what she did to look for answers in her brother’s death, and how she sought out and offered support to other surviving siblings. She also shares what she has done to honor her brother Clint.
