Longing for Summer
In 2006, author Randah Ribhi Hamadeh lost her eighteen-year-old daughter, Samar, in a car accident. On the tenth anniversary of her passing, Hamadeh presents Longing for Summer, her fifth collection of poetry. These verses, written in response to grief, have helped her not only to endure her loss but also to comfort bereaved parents in dealing with their grief as well. The raw feelings expressed in Hamadehs poetry are those of a mother who acknowledges the death of her daughter while revealing the longing and love that death cannot change. She believes that the idea that time heals is a myththat instead it transforms the acute grief of a parent into chronic pain, persistent, permanent, and triggered into sharper agony by events that recall memories of the departed child. In her poems, she describes the wide range of emotions that accompany a mothers loss in the hope of offering validation and commiseration to other parents who have lost a child. This collection of sixty poems offers a heartfelt memorial to one womans daughter and comfort and sympathy to others who have experienced loss.

Summer Rays
The loss of a child is every parents worst nightmare. For Randah Ribhi Hamadeh this nightmare became a reality. The poems in Summer Rays offer consolation to any parent on a grief journey. It is a poetic diary of loss and communication with the eternal soul. Through her poems, all bereaved parents will identify with the heartfelt pleadings of a grieving parent and the connection with her lost child. Readers will find her poetry profound as she describes the familiar, excruciating pain of a grieving parent, in particular on the special occasions where the lost child is missed; birthdays, anniversaries, Mothers Day and New Years Day. They will also relate to her feelings of gratitude towards those who were supportive and frustration with those less understanding. Writings from the soul are cathartic not only for the authors but for all who share their unthinkable sorrow. As with any writing, when the writer takes up the pen, the muse will appear. In this case, the muse is Samar Ahmed Al Ansari, the authors deceased daughter.
