New York, NY, February 15, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “Why Is This So Hard? 7 Factors Affecting Your Personal Experience of Grief”: a helpful and comforting message of compassion for anyone dealing with death. “Why Is This So Hard? 7 Factors Affecting Your Personal Experience of Grief” is the creation of published author Kathy Renner, a native of North Dakota who later moved to Minnesota where she serves her community as a nurse practitioner. She is the proud mother of three resilient daughters.

Renner shares, “We’ve all been told, ‘There’s no right or wrong way to grieve. It’s different for everybody.’ But my gosh, it is very hard! The bounty of well-intended comments that are meant to comfort can feel more like salt in a wound, invalidating your anguish. Does the help you seek still come in the ‘traditional form?’ Does it feel like a compassionate pat on the arm coupled with, ‘It will get better, I promise?’ Does it seem like the enlightened ones are giving you sugarcoated tips on what you should do to get through this? You want to know why this pain feels like the end of you. You want to know, ‘Why this is happening to me in this way?’ Oftentimes, understanding the nuances of your unique situation offers a distinctive form of comfort. Learning a little bit about yourself can set you on a path to healing. My hope and prayer are that you find some solace for your hurting heart and some answers as to why this is so hard.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Kathy Renner’s new book encourages self-awareness as a tool to overcoming a profound loss.

Renner shares in hopes of aiding others in their journey of healing through the complex and often overwhelming bereavement process.

Consumers can purchase “Why Is This So Hard? 7 Factors Affecting Your Personal Experience of Grief” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Why Music Matters—Especially in Later Life

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.

Inside the Community Spirit

“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”

How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities

The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
