Send us Fan MailIn this powerful and heartfelt conversation, I speak with Jason Tuttle, a devoted father who spent 15 years as the primary caregiver to his medically complex son, Zachary. After Zachary’s passing in 2020, Jason found himself navigating unimaginable grief—and discovered that writing letters to his son became a path toward healing.In this episode, Jason shares candid reflections on fatherhood, caregiving, and the emotional toll of losing a child. He opens up about what it means to grieve as a man in a culture that discourages male vulnerability, and how his writing evolved into a growing community and platform known as Letters to Zachary. We also talk about the therapeutic coloring book he created to help families discuss loss with children, and the profound impact of connection, even through strangers on the internet.This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who has experienced grief, or loves someone who has.
