The grinding is usually related to a worn starter in need of replacement. There may be burrs or broken teeth on the flywheel. You would need to inspect.
The hard start could be anything.When was the last tune-up? How are the filters? Has the engine light come on? If so were any codes retrieved?

The ignition coils are the usual culprit, they fail when hot, sometimes the module itself is bad, you need an Ignition specialist here, don't Shotgun (Replace parts till it runs)
