To mark March 2021’s National Day of Reflection, “Hospital by the Hill” —which includes a foreword written by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex—is being released to support bereaved children and young people who lost loved ones to Covid-19.

Written by Chris Connaughton and illustrated by Fay Troote this book tells the story of a young person coming to terms with the loss of their mother, who had been working on the frontline at a hospital. This book is available for free for any young person or child in the UK who has lost a loved one during the Covid pandemic. 

We hope this story brings a little bit comfort and support through the hard and horrible times of bereavement helping open conversations around grief and nurturing memories of these loved ones lost.  

If you know of anybody who this book could help even just a little bit, they can apply for a free copy at https://www.hospitalbythehill.com. Please help keeping spreading the word.
