https://harvardcoop.eventbrite.com Life hit Pat and Tammy McLeod hard
when their son Zach collapsed on a high school football field — he had
sustained a severe brain injury. Two emergency brain surgeries later,
Zach began waking up. Slowly the entire family woke up to the reality
that life would never again be the same. The fallout of his injury
would reshape their marriage, their family, their future and their
faith in ways they never saw coming. What would it take for them to
navigate the endless fallout of their son's life-transforming injury?
How could they reconcile their grief over the life Zach lost, with
gratitude for the life that remained? And how does a couple move
forward together in their search for hope, rather than letting
indefinable loss drive them apart? "Hit Hard" is the true story of the
McLeods' journey through ambiguous loss —both having and not having
their son. It's the story of a family who faced unexpected heartbreak,
a story that offers us all glimpses of how we can pick up the pieces,
redefine expectations, and find hope in the midst of unresolved pain.
Discussion, Q&amp;A, and signing of "Hit Hard: One Family's Journey of
Letting Go of What Was — and Learning to Live Well with What Is."
