Caregiver advocate and author Dale Sherburne

 

NORWAY — Caregiver advocate, author, and speaker, Dale Sherburne will read from and talk about her book, Neither Wife nor Widow, at Norway Memorial Library on Thursday, June 25, at 6:30 p.m. She brings a lived-experience perspective shaped by more than 20 years spent caring for her husband following his early-onset dementia diagnosis. 

The book is a collection of personal stories that explore the emotional realities of caregiving for a loved one with dementia. Through dozens of conversational vignettes, the author bares her feelings with raw, unapologetic honesty. Stories range from humorous to touching to wrenching, and shed a previously unseen light into a caregiver’s mind. The caregiver heart will lighten knowing that “caregiver-land” has no room for judgment or guilt.
