Houses of sorrow

The Houses of Grief by Mahmoud Ramadan Al-Samrani ... The hardest moments of loss are the path to recovery, the exit from the crisis, the crossing into habituation then monotony. It is true that death implants in us a tremendous grief, which takes root in the houses like a sprout, then enters to reach the details, the objects, the memory, the time. Hadiya and her mother are overcoming all this and starting an unknown journey, where is Faraj? No man with them. Two carried the burden of travel on their shoulders, and they did not come to a result. Hadiya realized that she was about to venture into a difficult sea, thoughts pouring in, and no exit in sight. Mohammed was absent, and these absences stirred bitter despair within her, she stretched until she felt he was lost in the surroundings, then her thoughts returned to the man, (someone is waiting!), that's what she said "Tiswahen" the wife of the Malāʾ Adnan during her last visit after his return from Baghdad, and she was hinting to Al-Mukhtar who had cut off from them, and he still dies of longing for her. Hope was not broken, patient like a camel. She looks at her mother and sees her always listless. She thinks about the fates that appear cloudy, lying in bed and calling sleep.
