Dirac-delta function HELP!

so how would you normalize a dirac function with a potential V(x)=-αδ(x+a)-αδ(x-a)
well...write a normalizable solution to time ind. Schrödinger eq. in the three regions?
PLEASE HELP ASAP!

The WF will be cosh in the middle, and exponential on either side.
The slope will have a discontinuity of -alpha at each delta.
Take it from there.
