A Sprinkle of Dust: A Mother’s Struggle with Loss and Healing

I just want everyone to know that I published my memoir and it’s available in all bookstores.

I would like to thank my dear friends Ed & Martha Demerly, Nancy Owen Nelson, Joy Freidler, Alex Morgan, Glenn and Jane O’Kray, my husband Ernie, sister Samerah, my daughters, Rania and Dania, my son Adam, and Mazen’s precious wife Mona and his daughter Yasmine for their editorial support and most of all my agent and editor Kate Robinson. Without you, A Sprinkle of Dust 🙏would never have become a reality.

A Sprinkle of Dust: A Mother’s Struggle with Loss and Healing is the story of my struggle with the loss of my first born. For anyone who has experienced the tragic and unexpected loss of a son and father of three, my memoir is an excellent source of healing and comfort. It explores my life as I violate the unspoken taboos of my religion to embody the recognition of growth through the center of my suffering. It shows how a broken heart can be mended and how grief can turn into a serene sense of freedom through the power of divine and compelling forces. These forces lead to the reality that despite the universal undertone of pain and suffering, the bounded mind can be eloquently summoned to a new world of relief. I finally submit to my lot and give way to self-formation with some manipulations of my reflective voice as I move back and forth from the past and present. My journey through the rough and uneven paths of despair leads the dynamic shifts of my consciousness to normalcy. The search for meaning of the inexplicable mysteries of life is no longer complicated. My belief in a future reunion is hard-won as I learn to move beyond my wounds and defining sense of betrayal. The memoir is engaging and emotionally meditative.
