Bursack has a degree in English literature, has worked in libraries in the United States and Europe and is a Toastmasters trained public speaker. She speaks anywhere she is needed on the topic of her book, elder care in general, mental health of caregivers and starting over at 56. She's now 60, but was divorced at 56 after 25 years of limited freelance writing and maximum mothering and elder caregiving. Her first job, in 2001, with the newspaper, was selling subscriptions in grocery stores. She then was hired in the newspaper library as an assistant and eventually became head news researcher (librarian). During this time, she was pursing the idea of an elder care column. The newspaper launched her elder care column in November 2004. Bursack is a member of AARP, CAPS (Children of Aging Parents), the National Caregivers Advisory Panel, the National Family Caregivers Association and is on the advisory board of RSVP (The Retired Senior Volunteer Program). She is news researcher and elder care columnist for The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, flagship newspaper of FCC (Forum Communications Company) and a radio guest on local and national talk shows.
