    In this video, we take a deep dive into the heartbreaking story of Jay Leno and his wife Mavis, who is battling advanced dementia. After 43 years of marriage, Jay has been appointed as the conservator of Mavis' estate, as her cognitive abilities continue to decline. Court documents reveal the extent of Mavis' condition, stating that she sometimes does not recognize Jay and experiences disorientation and confusion.
    Throughout the video, we explore the Lenos' long-lasting love story, from their unconventional beginnings to their decision not to have children and their unwavering support for one another. We also discuss the challenges they now face as Mavis' dementia progresses, and the legal steps Jay is taking to ensure her well-being and protect their assets.
    Dementia is a cruel and unrelenting condition that affects millions of families worldwide. As we follow Jay and Mavis' story, we are reminded of the importance of cherishing our loved ones, planning for the future, and supporting those who are caring for someone with dementia. Their journey is a testament to the power of love and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.
    While the road ahead is uncertain and undeniably difficult, Jay and Mavis Leno's story serves as an inspiration to us all. It encourages us to have open, honest conversations about aging and to put legal safeguards in place before a crisis strikes. Most importantly, it reminds us that love endures, even when memories fade.

    I know what Jay must be going through because my name is Jay and my wife had three separate strokes over 11 years …I took care of her until she had her last one which took her life and she went to be with my Lord Jesus. I’m hoping jay is a Christian …… it’s gonna take a lot of love to go through what he’s gonna have to go through… I live in an assisted living nursing home here in Bryant Arkansas and I know all about dementia …we have one whole section that of nothing but dementia patients and residents….it’s tough on everybody around them.. Watch love and prayer for the family

    When I started taking care of grandma, granddaddy would say she was a good wife. She knew us some days, but not others and her children became very upset that she forgot them. My father also had dementia for about seven years before he fell down the stairs at home and had to be put in the veterans hospital, which was specifically For people who had dementia in his section, they even had a special elevator so someone could not get to their floor without going upstairs taking the elevator back downstairs because my father tried to escape all the time and it was very sad, but I was glad that I got to be there in time of need.

    It's difficult. My 91 yo mother has dementia and it's progressively worse all the time. Sometimes I think she doesn't know who I am. And she acts like a child at times, misbehaving like a child. It's so frustrating to see the role reversal for when I was the child. I wish love to everyone out there that it goes through this.

    Jay from all accounts is handling Mavis's decline with great class and dignity. Dementia is horrible. You forget everything over time and eventually forget how to breathe and eat. It's tough. Decline just marches forward with some it is fast and some slower.

    A good friend of mine had a husband who had Dementia. She had to have him placed in a hospice. She visited him twice a week or more. He didn’t know who she was. She kept visiting him even when he could not talk or even move that good. She never looked at another man while her husband was still alive. “”Till Death Do Us Part.” He passed away, she took some time alone . Then she is out dating again. She waited until her husband was gone.

I told my brother at the time that Alzheimer’s is one the most evil diseases known to. The Leno’s are on my prayer list. May God have mercy.

      @hedleygrainge2864. I am wondering, whose privacy you were worried about not being respected? Mavis literally does not even recognize Jay anymore. And Jay is acting like a very loving husband dealing with a difficult situation. The fact that he is sharing his journey with the public shows that he is shining a light in a very dark place for a lot of people. I cannot imagine anyone disrespecting this couple and that is what would worry me about privacy. Mavis is not some dark secret that needs to be covered up.

    of 40 yrs with 9 children all
    at the time under 14 yrs old.
    Being the 2nd child. I helped
    with the care and well being.
    I always made sure she had
    fresh cooked food, nothing
    packaged. My Mom lived to be 92 ,yrs old. and her mind
    was in tack. I feel for Mr Leno,

    the continued well being of
    his wife.

    When I heard Mavis saying that marriage and motherhood was the way women got caught, I realized that she was a whole lot smarter than me at the same age. But it is a generational thing. I was raised to believe that woman’s whole life only started when she was able to get married and start having children and I bought into that.
