Jason Tuttle
Grief Blogger and Author
As we are firmly now in the 2nd month of 2025, I wanted to introduce myself to you. I truly believe that I am helping to start a movement for men to open up about their emotions on grief and trauma through my vulnerable example. I would love to help create a much needed and positive mental health awareness for men.
I am a married father of two kids with multiple mental and physical disabilities (some rare). I was a Stay-at-Home Dad and medical caregiver for 12 years until my son suddenly and unexpectedly passed away from issues related to his needs on 01/28/22. Since the day my son passed, I created a website, FB blog, and community (Letters To Zachary) on grief that details my raw, unfiltered and open grief journey from a male's/father's perspective. It is a place where men can feel vulnerable enough to share their emotion, empower women to help the grieving men in their lives and see that is OK to share vulnerability through my example. My community is open to all grievers.
