Hi, Ann. I'm so sorry for your losses. I'm praying for you and your friends' families. To renew a book, go to the link on Bookshare that says step 2. On that page, do a search for the word renew and press enter on that link. That's all you have to do. If your edit session has already expired, you can just re-download the book from step 1 as long as no one else has taken it.
