On the first one I would downgrade my stiff Q of hearts and raise to 3C. If we miss a game, so be it. The second one, I think 2D as a LR or better was very good. Partner can then bid 2H and you can bid 2N showing a limit raise with spades and clubs stopped. Opener should then bid 3D saying that she would pass a LR but that the hand likely plays better in a suit. The last hand is the most difficult and I generally solve it with a 1H bid and hope for the best after that. These hands are all difficult.
