About the BOOK

“Writing to him was the only way I knew to keep him.”

— Ryan Tate

The Deeply personal letters

Letters To

TOMMI

He did not lose a partner. He lost the person who made ordinary life feel like enough.

MORE ABOUT THE BOOK

Letters to Tommi began not as a book but as a lifeline. After Tommi died from a cardiac arrest in 2025, Ryan found himself in grief with no shape and no way through. Writing became the only place love had left to go. These letters are not a guide to grief. They are grief. Honest and unedited. You will meet Tommi through them. His warmth, his humour, blue notes found in pockets long after he had gone. You will understand, without being told, why losing him broke something that never closed.
