London (CNN) Prince Harry has revealed how the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, affected him in a new book to support grieving children and young people who have lost loved ones in the pandemic. To mark the UK's day of reflection next Tuesday on the anniversary of the first national lockdown, the Duke of Sussex has written the foreword for "Hospital by the Hill," a book project from the Hampshire child bereavement support charity, Simon Says. It follows the story of a young person coping with the death of their mother, who had been working in a local hospital on the frontline of the coronavirus crisis. "If you are reading this book, it's because you've lost your parent or a loved one, and while I wish I was able to hug you right now, I hope this story is able to provide you comfort in knowing that you're not alone," Harry's message begins. He then draws on his own experience with bereavement at a young age, and reflects on how it made him feel.
