THE TRUMAN PROJECT

My world is ending and yet the sun keeps rising. 

I lost my son to suicide on April 5, 2022. I want to create a space that provides an outlet for my grief but also an understanding ear for survivors of suicide and loss. I hope to find people to lean on as we navigate this horrible new life and provide a bit of support for whoever stops by.

HELLO

I started The Truman Project with the goal of offering readers a glimpse into my thoughts and what this life looks like. The writings are mostly my journal entries but sometimes helpful quotes. I just wanted a place I could post as much as I wanted without bogging down a social media feed. 
I hike the PNW and leave a rock with my son’s name on it on every trail. I think a lot of parents who have lost child just can’t imagine a world without their child in it. If you come across a Truman rock just say his name outloud. Maybe snap a picture of it and hashtag it with #TheTrumanProject so I can see he still leaves a mark in this world.
