2-15-24: ENCORE SHOW: More of Familly Caregiving, with Bobbie Diffee Gunn

It is a call back OSJ Radio Show … We had so many emails & phone calls to rerun the “… More on Family Caregiving” show and we thought during this sleet and snow week that this would be the perfect time to replay!

Family Caregiving is the hottest ticket and fastest growing entities all over the world to discuss. My mother (Bobbie Gray Diffee-Gunn) and I took care of my Father (Gordon Gunn) for 13 1/2 years, full-time 8 1/2 years and part-time for 5 1/2 years. He had Dementia which is under the umbrella ofAlzheimer’s. We have learned a trunk load full of information about Family Caregiving. We will be addressing this on the OSJ radio show (Freedom 96.9FM @ 9:05am this Saturday, 1/18/25)

After the holidays I received texts, email, and phone calls at the OSJ Magazine from adult children who are noticing issues with their parents like never before.

Tune into this expert conversation with my mom and I on the issues of Family Caregiving and resources that are available. We also learned some great tricks of the trade that will help you and your loved one on an easier path with Journey on Family Caregiving.

My mom and I are available for public speaking to any of your organizations or services on Family Caregiving. We’ve been speaking on this subject now for about five years. There’s absolutely no cost.

Listen in this Saturday @ 9:05am on FREEDOM 96.9FM Oklahoma’s Talk Radio!

Gordon Carl Gunn (my Daddy & Mom’s Beloved) was born in 1928 and married mom at the Penney Nazarene College where he was a fifth year senior and she was one of the new freshman coming in. They built a beautiful life together in Bethany and Ada, Oklahoma and then back to Bethany. In 2005 Gordon was diagnosed with dementia and we walked that road with him for 13 1/2 years. He passed at age 92 at the veterans center in Norman, Oklahoma.
