Showtiming is real. So much so, that many people with dementia are able to “fool” their family members, friends, and even their doctors into thinking that everything is OK for a very long time. I truly believe that this is why it is sometimes so difficult to get diagnosis. My mother was able to hide her symptoms for a long time, and my father covered up for her too, because he didn’t want their lives to change. I noticed the changes because I was around more often, but others refused to believe at first because my mother was so good at putting on a show during family visits, outings, etc. Only a full time caregiver knows the true score. Sending love and support to you both.

I know that "show boating" is a coping mechanism, but he's hilarious and he watches for your reaction. It's cute. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Prayers for you both and big hugs. (PS: He's losing a lot of "things". Bank card. Freedom of travel. And more. And he knows it's not going to get better. I'm a retired RN too Leslie. But I'm sure you realize that since you have a support group.) More prayes and more hugs! ❤🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

@@LIVINGWITHDEMENTIAPODCAST I have worked with families who sadly can't quite wrap their head around it. It's usually the children of an elderly person who doesn't live with them and see everything that goes on. ("What's the big deal? We drive him wherever he needs to go?" 🤷🏻‍♀️ For example). Thank you, again for showing your lives to us. It's very educational. No 2 people are alike and even though I have taken care of a lot of elderly dementia patients, it doesn't make me feel any better equipped to deal with my husband's undiagnosed, unnamed, dementia. He had an MRI which didn't indicate dementia changes, but as you so eloquently said in a car video, you can't know for sure until in autopsy. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The anger is what I'm having the worst time with. A man who never raised his voice at me nor ever talked down to me has made a complete flip. I have to go to what I've discovered as my safe place and cry. Far, far removed from the man I married but for better or worse and we promised each other to be there forever. As bad as it hurts there are still good times. And as long as he still calls me "SWEETIE", I know we'll be ok. Such a horrible thing to watch and deal with and what's to come.

I wish I had known about your channel when my sister and I were taking care of our Mom( who passed away in January 2022, 8 years post her Alzheimer's diagnosis) we were fortunate to have the help of CNA's towards the end of her illness, however, all of her services came to a screeching halt once the pandemic hit. And while we were lucky enough to work remotely, we became our Mom's full time, 24/7 caregiver. As her illness progressed, she became highly agitated, and was awake all night, and slept very little during the day. It was not an easy task, we had some really rough days and sleepless nights, however we took comfort in the fact that we did all that we could for her to make her comfortable and feel loved. Thank you for validating the feelings of caregivers.❤

I can relate to the frustration of people not seeing the bad stuff and thinking all is ok. That's hard! My hubby is losing more and more ability and needing me more yet there are so many things different than what I've seen others go through with their loved ones. We are blessed in that he is always cheerful and can laugh at himself, never gets angry, is very thoughtful and considerate of me and what i have to go through in taking over everything he used to do and to be having to help him with all his activities of daily living now. He still is able to understand that he needs the help, that he makes mistakes and can even joke about it and laugh. But it's true... he puts on his best around others and they have no idea how needy he is and why it is hard for us to go places.

Dear Leslie and Jason, your videos aRe such a help to me. My husband has the short term memory dementia. He is 87 YO I know there is no arguing with him. He doesn’t remember people, he doesn’t know where he is or directions. Last week he took off by himself and drove 100 miles. Being frantic, I called the police. Luckily he found his way back before the police found him. So many things you talk about are so familiar. I pray for patience, love and kindness. Don’t stop laughing, Leslie because then you cry. Bless you.

I feel like you have an expectation of how you present yourself to people, and we try our best to be who we have always been. It happens without a thought. I have gotten where I stay home or in the car more as my symptoms make me unable to be the Beth I have always known. I am hiding away, and you are on KZbin.

I have been following your channel for quite awhile now. I appreciate your willingness to be so candid about your current life and it’s ups and (increasingly) downs. Someone who has not lived with a person with dementia cannot know the sadness and frustrations you are experiencing. Although Jason jokes about going into his “showtime” mode during taping, and struggles with short-term memory, it is evident that he is an exceptionally smart man. That makes what you are dealing with so much harder-for you to live through, and for inexperienced viewers to grasp your new reality. A very good friend passed away 18 months ago after about five years of apparent dementia, although in retrospect, I’m sure it was longer. While her situation, onset of disease and diagnosis were different than Jason’s, it was still hard to watch and accept. Like Jason, she was an exceptionally intelligent and articulate executive, a well-respected natural planner and leader. It was very sad to watch the smartest person I have known, one of my best friends, caught in the world of dementia. Don’t let the comments from the uninformed use up what energy you both have at the end of the day. It isn’t worth it. You are doing the best you can with what you have. Take heart from the positive, useful responses you receive. Thoughts and prayers to you.

It’s also a reflection of how society has gotten so used to judging others they don’t know, not showing grace or class, especially the things they really know nothing about.

Are these being reposted/moved from the charming abode channel? Dementia sucks. Whatever version. I’m 5 years into caring for my 86 y/o mom with Alzheimer’s and now she’s been diagnosed with heart failure. She’s also at stage 5, but as anyone who cares for someone with dementia knows, it all fluctuates and there’s never a solid stage. It’s amazing y’all are doing these videos - it’s helpful to see both sides of this disease. And with deepest appreciation, thank you for sharing your vulnerability. ❤

Hi my dad has vascular dementia and I've been trying to work out when he first started showing odd symptoms and I've now realised from watching this that he had started buying odd things online at least a year before any memory problems surfaced. Although my dad is 90 so has been very lucky we thought his dementia had escalated really quickly but now I realise he has probably had it for a lot longer than we realised.

I love that you show him doing things and upbeat...as we can see there is quit the disconnect between the actual diagnosis and stigma....you are showing that during great change and decline ..activities are still importnat and we should respect the patient , family member etc . For those that comment nasty feedback ...they just truly dont understand , no matter what their aunt or whoever is experiencing . Stay strong, you two , sending love to you on the front lines of this horrible illness

i just had my assistant/helper watch your programs (w the cc: Spanish) so she can be aware of the situation in our home life. You both are helping to make the world a more understanding place. יוי

Praying 🙏 for you kids. Time and love are now. Tell each other every minute. I love you. Make memories this is your time together ❤️ 💛 ❤️ Spend time in Love, Hugs, I can not stress enough Now is your time together. Good , bad , happy, mad even sad. Remember both of you when you fell in love. That feeling couldn't wait to see each other be together. Do it again. Now is the time. This is from a 70 year old lady that just lost the love of my life. From LBD. I would love to see him again and kiss him. Hug him. You know what I am saying. Now is you kids time. Love and Hugs and Prayers for you kids. Patti Smith

I appreciate your willingness to share your journey. We appear to be at the beginning of our journey; my husband has mild cognitive impairment at this time, and I am already feeling the rollercoaster-it's still the kiddie one, but there are already so many up and downs. Thank you so much!

I am watching my sweet mama care for my dad as he walks this path of dementia. I am so proud of both of them and the love and respect they continue to share. It is hard to watch and live day in and day out but I would rather live with my current dad than without! God is always good better than chocolate cake!!!

My newborn grandson’s name is also Hudson. I was responsible for rolling out the Innovative Pool - dementia community packages program across south east Queensland Australia. I am a clinical psychologist & part of the admission process was conducting a functional assessment, depression scale, adaptive behaviour assessment & carer strain index. Every person is affected differently & at different stages in their dementia journey. Research shows that people who are highly educated cognition deteriorates less than a person who has less education. One of the participants in the innovative pool program, had a PHD in Fine Arts, she could still talk at length about topics that she taught & yet she couldn’t use the toilet or shower herself. The youngest person that we had on our program was 37. I thoroughly enjoy your videos ❤❤❤❤

I deleted all apps from a client's phone because of the confusion it caused for the client. It is very hard to watch and I commend you Leslie for trying to educate people about dementia. Bless you both for shaing.
