BU Alum Co-Authors Book on Grief and Loss
BU alum Dr. Pat McLeod (’09) was recently interviewed by Rabbi Yitzi Weiner as part of a series on “individuals and organizations making an important social impact” for Authority Magazine. Pat and his wife Tammy serve as chaplains at Harvard University. As part of this work, they organized the Mamelodi Initiative in the township of Mamelodi, South Africa, which “connects Harvard students with at-risk youth in a mentoring and educational program to prepare them for college.”
In addition to describing his campus ministry work, Pat also describes the story of his son’s severe traumatic brain injury–an experience of grief and loss on which he and Tammy reflect in their recent book Hit Hard: One Family’s Journey of Letting Go of What Was — and Learning to Live Well with What Is (Tyndale Momentum, 2019).
