Jason must have been an extremely self-assured, kind, intelligent man before dementia. I say that because even with dementia, Jason still comes across as a person I would love to have as my friend. I was glad for this interview, but I also know that many times, Jason is not able to be as mentally clear as he was during this interview. This video will help both caregivers and people in various stages of dementia. You two are very, very special people. Diane

I, in no way, mean to diminish how horrible dementia and memory loss is on the the person who has it but I’d like to share something I observe daily with my mama who has it. She is absolutely the happiest person I know. Let me explain: Jason said you don’t know what you don’t know. She doesn’t know she’s no longer independent, that there’s anything wrong with her or with the world, she has no bills to pay, no stress about responsibilities, home repairs, etc. She works her puzzles, watches her shows, “does her housework” (what she THINKS is home keeping, is usually creating chaos and hiding things). She’s past the point of awareness that she has dementia but still cognitive enough to be able to enjoy what she loves. If she does realize she’s missing out on something, like traveling, it’s only for a moment. She lives completely in the present. As long as we keep her present moment happy, she’s happy. When I do make her angry, for instance at bath time, she forgets about it immediately. In her world. There’s no arguments, stress, trials, angry words, divorce, death,….simply bc she doesnt know what she doesn’t know. Jason, you summed it all up so simply. With my mom, this disease is no longer HER cross to bear. It’s mine. But she doesn’t know it. She’s happy and I’m glad.

This response helped me so much. My mother has dementia and I am struggling. But she is happy. She is happier and more agreeable than I’ve ever known her to be. Possibly the one (and only) positive of dementia.

Im so glad that this is the experience your mom has with dementia. It may also be that you are making that possible for her. I work in health care so I've seen both sides. Some like your mom who is totally oblivious to some who are so confused that its scary for them. Then still others who are very angry all the time. I also think it the personality of the person in general. I had one wife whos husband has dementia and that man is angry and uncooperative all the time. She said something that hit home for me. She said that he was a very strict man, he angered easily even in his early years he was a "my way or no way" kind of person. So of course now with dementia he still exhibits those characteristics. This would imply to me that your mother was probably a pretty happy person and in a way ignorance is bliss so to speak. I hope you are able and continue to be able to enjoy your time with her. God Bless.

It feels so unfair that someone like jason who has so much to offer the world has to have this disease. It is a testament to how much he trusts you Leslie that he will do these videos. Leslie, I know it doesn't feel like it sometimes. But you are doing a great job, and Jason is lucky to have you.

Thank you so much for this video. My husband had primary progressive aphasia for over six years. He was diagnosed for six years but we know he had it longer than that. Your video mirrors so many things that we went through. I joined a caregiver support group at a local church. That was helpful and helped me learn not to take some of the things that he was saying personally, and to know how to be extra cautious without letting him know that. Having a circle of friends and support team was extremely helpful. He would plateau and be OK and then he’d take a dive downhill. I had to learn to check things like doors and water faucets. I learned to not correct, and not to argue. Reminiscing together was therapeutic and looking at old pictures also. He loved being around the grandchildren. That gave him a lot of joy. Not feeling comfortable to travel was one of the hardest things for us. Thank you again for sharing your journey. I know it’s helping a lot of others who are going through the same thing at this time.

Thank you Jason for your willingness to answer questions. My husband has dementia and I have tried to get him to tell me how he feels, but he lets me know he doesn’t want to talk. I know it is difficult for him to think. It frustrates him when he is questioned. It amazed me how you can talk like you do. My husband is very quiet. He doesn’t want company, he just wants to watch tv. He can’t use the remote so I have to stay with him to get rid of ads. He gets mad at me if I’m not there when the ad starts. I loved that you were so good at talking and explaining how you feel. Thank you!

Wow, I am amazed at how well Jason can talk. My husband has a difficult time finishing a thought. I can't leave my husband alone. I'm too afraid to leave him. He falls so easily. I went up street today for 20 minutes and I was a wreck and my 7 year old grandson Hudson stayed with him. Thanks for doing this.

Jason is amazing! My husband has Primary Progressive Aphasia and doesn’t seem to function nearly as well as Jason can. My husband’s speech has been affected and it’s so hard to even hold a conversation with him. We are experiencing some of the same things though and I like hearing how you handle those situations. Thank you soooo much for these videos! They are very helpful!

Loved this. May be one of the best❤ I have found a counselor that works only with caregivers of dementia patients. Hoping this helps me deal with the angry outbursts! His 2 sons are taking him to the Grand Canyon for a few days on the railroad ride around the canyon. Flying with his sons from Charleston to Flagstaff. I’m so excited to have a girls weekend somewhere with my two daughters!

You guys are just an awesome couple. You are helping people even those caregivers who are not taking care of dementia patients as some of these things happen with other diseases. I feel like we are always working on what I call "our new normal" Sending hugs.

I understand this was a particular moment in time but listening to Jason I am in awe of his awareness, sense of humor and his analogy when he explains things. I do understand this is a particular moment in time when he is feeling good and up to an able to answer questions but it just goes to show type of person he was and is. And thank you Leslie although not a spouse which is a different situation I do understand what you're going through because I was my mom's caregiver. But I just wanted to thank you both for this video and send you both lots of love hugs and blessings❤❤❤❤❤ ....Linda

Jason! Would you consider doing a vlog about all of your exciting travel over the years? It would be so interesting and helpful to almost-empty-nesters, like my husband and me, who would like to travel but are clueless about where to go and how to plan! I think it’d be super fun for you and might help with missing the planning part of vacation. You are so funny, intelligent, and have such interesting stories! No disrespect to Leslie (I absolutely adore her and wish we were besties, lol 😊), but I am so entertained by your show-timing! Talk about witty! I totally understand though about how and why it’s happening. 😌 Great video, btw! Loved this interview format, and I could you guys did too! 🥰 Also fun to see the brewery background! 🍻

He is much more engaged by what he is proud of, projects, rather than focusing on the dementia so much..he looks so sad talking about it. I am heartbroken for him

Thanks for sharing Jason. I have someone who is in the beginning stages ! The things that you mentioned about the plates falling on a stick helps as the caregiver to walk away and let things settle ! 👍
