A Hedgehog's Embrace: The Softness Beneath the Quills - Hardcover
Description
by Maysoun Ramadan (Author)
Even in our deeply interconnected world, caring from a distance can feel isolating. Comparing her feelings to a hedgehog, soft and vulnerable beneath its protective quills. Maysoun Ramadan shares her journey through loss across cultures, grieving across borders, and the strength she had found in self-compassion, connection, and the quiet endurance of hope.
In A Hedgehog's Embrace, we meet Maysoun as she rebuilds her life in Dubai, drawing inspiration from multiple cultures, while living far from the people she loves. Navigating the loss of both parents and a close friend, she reveals how grief reshapes us and how cultural expectations influence the way we mourn, love, and heal. She brings to light the quiet strength of caring from long distances, maintaining bonds, and honouring our own wellbeing.
More than a memoir of loss, this is a compassionate guide for expats and those who care from afar. Grief is a universal experience, yet it is lived with different dimensions when abroad. This book addresses how to turn pain into growth, embrace vulnerability, and find community beyond borders.
Even at a distance, love can deepen, hope can endure, and our truest selves can emerge.
