Author Ric Hart is promoting one of his five children’s bereavement books this Christmas to raise funds for the Children’s Bereavement Centre in Newark.
Ric raised funds for the charity through his Christmas children’s book in 2022 and a charity cycling fundraiser, donating all the proceeds to the centre.
Ric, who lost his wife, Jade, hours after the birth of their son in 2018, is a solo parent to their son, Hugo.
“I’ve come so far as a widower, navigating through life amid major tragedy and trauma, with so much decision-making in such a short time over the past few years.
“And wow! What a rollercoaster, but I have grown stronger and learnt so much.”
Hugo & Daddy’s Christmas Adventures shares the journey of Hugo being read his book at night in bed by his father, where Hugo goes on an amazing journey with Santa on Christmas Eve, heading for the North Pole.
Ric added: “Christmas can be a very lonely time for so many, but reaching out, sharing your feelings with someone, or just talking, really helps.
“If you have a partner and family this Christmas, be very grateful, as life can be taken away just like that.”
Hugo & Daddy’s Christmas Adventures is available at Waterstones, priced £5.99, and is also available on Amazon and Blackwells.
