Grief is universal, but it's also as unique to each of us as the person we've lost. It can be overwhelming, exhausting, lonely, unreasonable, there when we least expect it and seemingly never-ending. Wherever you are with your grief and whoever you're grieving for, I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is here to support you. To tell you, until you believe it, that things will get easier.
When bestselling writer Clare Mackintosh lost her five-week-old son, she searched for help in books. All of them wanted to tell her what she should be feeling and when she should be feeling it, but the truth - as she soon found out - is that there are no neat, labelled stages for grief, or crash grief-diets to relieve us of our pain. What we need when we're grieving is time and understanding. I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is the book she needed then.
With 18 short assurances that are full of compassion - drawn from Clare's experiences of losing her son and her father - it's something you can turn to when you can barely concentrate, when you're looking for solace, when you're looking for hope, when you simply need to throw something across the floor, and when you need somebody to assure you, and to keep assuring you: I Promise it Won't Always Hurt Like This.
They say the camera never lies. But on this show, you can't trust anything you see.
Stranded in the Welsh mountains, seven reality show contestants have no idea what they've signed up for.
Each of these strangers has a secret. If another player can guess the truth, they won't just be eliminated - they'll be exposed live on air. The stakes are higher than they'd ever imagined, and they're trapped.
The disappearance of a contestant wasn't supposed to be part of the drama. Detective Ffion Morgan has to put aside what she's watched on screen, and find out who these people really are - knowing she can't trust any of them.
And when a murderer strikes, Ffion knows every one of her suspects has an alibi . . . and a secret worth killing for.

James Nesbitt, Maisie Williams and David Wilmot star in this comedy
drama written by brothers Brendan and Niall Heery. When Alice
(Kerry Condon) made the decision to leave childhood sweetheart Ray
(Wilmot) and take their daughter away in search of a better life
she never imagined that one day, twelve years later, he would be
knocking on their door. With Ray's father on his deathbed he
requests a meeting with the granddaughter he never knew so Ray
travels to Dublin to search for her. When he discovers that Alice's
better life included their former P.E. teacher Frank (Nesbitt) he
becomes determined to claim back the life that should have been
his.
When Sir Cyril Burt died in 1971, he was widely recognized as
Britain's most eminent educational psychologist whose studies of
gifted and delinquent children, contributions to the development of
factor analysis, and research on the inheritance of intelligence
brought widespread acclaim. Within five years of his death,
however, he was publicly denounced as a fraud who had fabricated
data to conclude that intelligence is genetically determined.
Examiners of the published data found serious inconsistencies that
raised questions about their authenticity; the case has divided the
scientific community ever since. Were the charges justified, or was
he a victim of critics fearful of validating such a politically
unacceptable scientific theory? This is an up-to-date and unbiased
analysis of one of the most notorious scandals in science, now more
timely and widely discussed than ever with the publication of The
Bell Curve, the best-selling polemic that raises arguments
comparable to Burt's. The distinguished contributors examine the
controversial areas of Burt's work and argue that his defenders
have sometimes, but by no means always, been correct, and that his
critics have often jumped to hasty conclusions. In their haste,
however, these critics have missed crucial evidence that is not
easily reconciled with Burt's total innocence, leaving the
perception that both cases are seriously flawed. An introductory
chapter lays the background to the case, followed by an examination
of Burt's work that relates to the controversy. The book concludes
with a chapter on Burt's character, other cases of apparent
scientific fraud, and the impact of Burt's alleged fabrications.
These findings have profound implications not only for the study of
psychology, but for the wider issues relating to integrity in
scientific research, and the impact of intelligence testing on
social policy.
