COMING SOON!

Walking Each Other Home, the story of Sharon’s caregiving journey after her mom was struck with vascular dementia, will be released in April 2026 by BWL Publishing. Early readers have called it “beautifully written, heart wrenching, moving, and filled with humour and insights.”
With unflinching honesty, Sharon McInnes reveals not only the grief and stress involved in caring for her mother, but also the brilliant and unexpected rewards. I’m so grateful for her depiction of the beautiful parts of caregiving — shared intimacy, deep love, laughter and silliness even in the midst of tragedy. And I’m just as grateful for her frankness about rage, despair and cleaning up poop. Walking Each Other Home is a comfort and inspiration for anyone involved in the life-changing work of caregiving.
Sarah Leavitt, author of Something, Not Nothing: A Story of Grief and Love.
Sharon McInnes’ new book, Walking Each other Home, is filled with valuable information for family caregivers, as she shares the journey of caring for her mother with vascular dementia. It is also an entertaining and heart wrenching read that opens up not just the difficulties of family caregiving, but the humour and the deep and personal rewards.
