Hanaa Alabri’s book, Raising Me is a heartfelt exploration drawn from her personal experiences.
Synopsis
DO YOU LIVE ABROAD AND AWAY FROM YOUR LOVED ONES?
Bridge the gap of living between two worlds. Navigate the guilt of long-distance care for family and friends. Transform grief into love and hope while staying whole.
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. 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.
