In case anyone didn’t catch it or is still confused; yes, the voices are from the real Green family. Joel’s dad is actually the developer of the game; Ryan Green. His wife, Amy Green, wrote for the game. And, if knowing that these are their voices and all their true emotions wasn’t gut wrenching enough, Joel’s voice is actually Joel. Ryan included sound from home videos of Joel. Every laugh. Every sob. Every word. Immortalized in a game all about his brave battle. It’s also good to mention that Ryan started this game while Joel was still alive, although Joel passed away when the game was only halfway finished.
I remember when I was younger there was a girl in my gym class who wore a wig. She would get picked on and the other kids would try to make her wig fall off. I remember asking her why she wore a wig and she said it was because she had cancer. I didn't know what cancer was so I shrugged it off as some hair disease. We became friends until I moved away. I will never know what happened to her. I hope she beat it. Edit: I came back to this video because my friend's step mom just found out she has breast cancer. And I forgot I commented about my friend from when I was a child. We were in 3rd or 4th grade. And it was a time in my life where I moved around a lot. I don't remember her name and I don't even remember the name of the school. So there is no way for me to know. Part of me wants to know and part of me doesn't. I will just hold on to the hope that she did beat her cancer and is happily living her young adult life to the fullest. Thank you everyone for you words of kindness. Cancer does not discriminate and can seem to appear out of nowhere. I wish you all health and happiness.
+Jane Doe When I was in primary school there was a kid in my class' big sister who got cancer I think. And she would come to school practically bald. And you saw her just walking around with really short hair. I think she beat it though. That was like. Year 6 or 7 for her though.
I'm in high school right now and in my high school there is many people that had cancer some battled it and won and some did not and one of my best friends was just told that he has stage 2 cancer thx for the video Sean
When I first watched this 4 years ago, I thought it was sad but I didn't cry. I had no idea that 3 years later my mom would be diagnosed with leukemia in March of 2019 after 10 years of struggling with blood related health issues. I was there every step as she went through treatment and seemingly it died down around May and we made it to the 6th floor of Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, which not many cancer patients make it to. There was so much hope. There was even a match to get a marrow transplant. Unfortunately the slow down didn't last and it came back full force around June, making her unable to have that transplant. It had gone too far now and we were told chemo wasn't going to work anymore. She asked for a DNR and that she have her last days be in the comfort of her own home in her own bed. I watched as my dad, who I've only seen cry once in my life, lose himself in another room so she wouldn't hear him cry. I watched as every month that went by after that my mom slowly withering away. She forced herself through her 60th birthday, through thanksgiving, through Christmas and finally New Years. New Years Eve was finally the day she could barely keep consciousness. The death rattle had already kicked in a week before that. At 12:45pm on January 1st, 2020 she passed away in her bed and my dad and sister watched with me as she gasped for her last breath and she was gone. I had never seen someone die before, but I knew I definitely hadn't wanted it to be family; especially my mom. Especially in the very home I still have to live in alone, her door always closed. Watching this now, I fully understand the frustrations and heartache and the hopelessness of watching someone you love be eaten away by cancer day by day. And I cried this time.
Jack: "Sorry for crying and knocking over the mic." Sean, you're human. That moment of self-reflection is the most human a person can be. No need to apologize for it. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you're doing okay.
@@hyperion1377 Years ago I lost my older brother to SCID. I was only 7 years old and so innocent, having no idea what was going on. I'm 16 now, and I can't imagine the pain my parents felt when he departed and said goodbye at the hospital. I was in the house, enjoying myself, oblivious. Sometimes I panic, because I believe I'm carrying that culprit gene, and I don't want the same thing to happen to my son/daughter when I become a dad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@hyperion1377 Thanks. I commented because that's what I would do as well: hug my son and comfort him until he stops. I just can't see someone go through that
As a father I could not imagine losing my son. Hes 9 months now. I love him more than life itself. I could not imagine losing him. His little laugh is so precious. Seeing him when he wakes up everyday and he smiles at me. He is the light of my life.
it was the chapter that hit me the hardest. I don’t understand how anyone could survive the emotional and physical pain that Joel, Amy, Ryan and their other sons had to experience.
You know.. I know this video is old, but I watched other people’s reactions, Jack’s was the most touching. He showed the most emotion without hesitating. That’s what I like about you, jack.
I watched this video when it came out but i keep coming back to it because its just so powerful and this is one of those videos that you dont want to forget about
Somehow I came back to this video 6 years later. The hospital scene at 36:00 is exactly how my uncle described his dad passing. He lives a couple of hours away, so he didn't visit super often. When he did though, he always felt like he was being crushed by the weight of the world because his dad got worse and worse. The last 4 or 5 days he drifted in and out of consciousness, his mind was so far gone that the only noticeable thing was that his body language changed whenever my uncle entered the room. There was some twinkle in his eyes, but he did not know how to talk anymore. The last week, they made him as comfortable as possible by playing piano music and projecting calming scenes (like a beach) on one of the walls.
It's similar to how it was the days before my 103 year old granny passed away last year. She was so tired and rarely woke up the last 3-4 days she was alive, but the last time I visited her about a day and a half before she passed away, she woke up for a bit to everyone's surprise. And she immediately looked at me, then my sister and then my mother all while having that twinkle of recognition in her eyes. Almost like she was smiling with them. It was oddly comforting and took some of the sadness away, because I knew that she knew she was surrounded by family.
Me too. I was a cancer survivor at 2 years old (now almost 18). His cries made me so broken that I skipped those parts. At least he's not suffering anymore.
Watched this when it came out and I remember skipping through it being all confused. I watched it again today, 1.5 years after my little brother was diagnosed with stage 4 hepatoblastoma at 11 years old, and a month after he was given 3 months to live. I feel like I’m watching it in slow motion, dissecting every word in that game. I love you, Benny, 100 years wouldn’t be enough with you.
Here in 2019. Rip Joel. We dont know you, we've never met you, but everyone who's watched this are sending love to you and your family. We've all shared tears with jack(more tears than it should've been) and we hope you're ok with God.
"Men don't cry" "Boys don't cry" "Grown ups don't cry ".... Those statements are the wrongest statements you will ever hear. Crying is emotion , emotion is human. If you didn't cry you are a robot.
Yeah that's the thing Some people when they see you cry the thing that i hate the most is when people say:"you're crying like a girl"or"stop crying you baby" Crying is normal it is what makes us human and it also helps relieve pain So never be shy to shed some tears
when i watched this 5 years ago i didnt realize how much this would hurt to watch. coming back to watch it all again in one sitting hurts. My Step Mother, Gina was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago and she finally beat it a few months ago. 3 YEARS of fighting and she beat it. I am still so very proud of her. Cancer is a real thing and its terrifying.
dude i found this video just now, despite it being up for years, and i can't help but wonder if i have never seen it because the universe was hiding it from me until i needed it. one of my closest friends got diagnosed with lung cancer a month ago and idk how i'm going to be able to handle it. she's been my lifeline for years and it's kinda hard i'm not gonna lie, knowing that i can't save her this time like i always try to. that's our thing, ya know? she helps me, i help her. she's younger than me, and i've always felt like i needed to protect her since her dad died. like a sister. and it's just.. it's hard. i doubt anyone will read this, but i just kind of wanted to rant. i cut my hair with her, and they made a wig for her out of it, which may sound creepy, but she said she likes having control over anything she can, which makes since. i mean, she's 12 with cancer, you barely get any control over things. idk, i just kinda needed to rant. if anyone actually took the time to read this, thanks and i love all of y'all. also, if anyone is going through the same/similar, you can always reach out to me. ig that's all i had to say : )
God this comment makes me so freaking sad and its 2 am I should not be balling but I hope you and your friend are doing well and here's an air hug *hug*
I ran out of tissues, that's a problem because this is so sad. I hope God will not think this is the right time for her to go. I will pray for you and her today
Mili Mitsuki awe I barely know you but it makes me want to cry for you, you know? When you don’t someone but you feel as though you’ve known them for a long time just because of a paragraph. Anyways I’m sorry you have to experience this, it must be hard for you.
As someone who has a sibling who had cancer, I could really relate to the first scene. I remember constantly asking my mom when my sister would talk. She was five, why wasn't she talking yet? She was seven, why wasn't she talking yet? She was nine, why wasn't she talking yet? The day I noticed her speaking in full sentences was the coolest day of my life. I though, this is the day. We're communicating, that's so fucking cool. And it made me realize, she could hear me, she understood what I was saying, but she just couldn't respond. Luckily, she made a full recovery and is a healthy kid today. I don't know what I would've felt if she didn't. It was a very complicated and frustrating moment of my life.
@@Kiiwii111mostly not being exposed to much conversation because of chemo, not being able to go to school, and what we later found out was also nonverbal autism :( she's talking a lot more now, but it was really confusing as a child because we never knew what was happening
A note of encouragement: As of 09/2019, Ryan and Amy are still married (often, couples that experience the death of a child go through divorce), the daughter that Amy mentions during the Doctor's visit is named Zoe ("life" in Greek), and it seems like the family is healing well together, and still have confidence that they'll see Joel in Heaven with Jesus. I'd like to encourage you to buy "That Dragon, Cancer," even if you don't play it. We don't often get to see something so deeply personal, and I think almost all of us were touched by the life and faith of Ryan, Amy, Joel, and the rest of their family.
My niece died of cancer years ago. She was 9 yrs old. I like to remember her smiling and running everywhere as she used to do in life. Greetings to heaven, Daphne.
The song at 33:20 I immediately recognized. It’s How Great Thou Art. A man wrote it after he lost his entire family on a ship that sank. I sing it at church sometimes
Ayiogojo564 not everything is related to the titanic. it was the SS ville du havre, and though he didn’t lose his entire family - his wife being the sole survivor - it was still very traumatic for him.
1:11:20 just that feeling of: your so sad you cant be sad anymore, your just mad, and then you cant be mad anymore. You're just tired. You're so tired. You just want things to be better.
When my mother was 19 she was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. She was so young and scared and they didn't think she would make it. She beat the cancer, and for now it hasn't come back, but that doesn't mean that it never will. She was never expected to be able to carry children but she had me, my sister, a unnamed miscarriage child, and then my little brother. I have always donated my hair when I get it cut so that anyone who wants or needs a wig can have one because my mother has always said how she felt lost without one through her treatments. I thought I was going to be okay with talking about it again until 2017 when my Grandpa passed away from stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to his lymph nodes and to his brain. I was so upset at the doctors and the world and everything because he had taught me to draw and helped me in the worst times. They hadn't caught his cancer until he was at his worst. I have always had a soft spot for cancer survivors and anyone who has had a family member who had/has cancer or something similar. I have never really gotten over it, but I know that he's probably in a better place now and is no longer in ant pain. When Sèan mentioned his Grandmother I broke down in tears, I know it may not have been cancer, but when my grandpa had died he forgot who I was as well and I had cried and ran away to my room. (We had at home hospice). I'm sorry for my little rant-ish thing. I just needed to write this somewhere and I guess, let people know that they aren't alone and I am here for them.
Your comment really reminds me of my grandpa Keith J Looney and he died to a infected wound in his leg at home in 2015 and when that happened I was hurt bad because I was not there when he passed away and I was not in his life much and I understand what you were going through and I loved my grandpa because he was scared but I wasn’t because I thought he would make it but he died and also it reminds me of me when I was younger because I had something called Insomnia when I was 6 and the hospital didn’t take long before they got me in a room with a oxygen mask and this was a Oakdale hospital and it was midnight but I was fine
Really sorry to hear that, hope you’re doing well. I’ll keep your dad and aunt in my prayers if that’s fine by you. Hopefully they’ll pull through and return to good health soon. All the best
This is hard to watch, especially for me. When I was only 4 years old, my Mom died in a car accident. I was sitting at the table at my grandparent's house, coloring a colouring book, when my grandpa came inside, and told me that my Mom died. In 2015, around father's day, my Dad started to develop a cough. Over the months it got worse, and he slowly started losing weight. He went to clinics many times, but they were convinced it was a rare cough that lasted a few months, and would go away by itself. He went to the Hospital a few times, after the clinics weren't helping. They ran CT scans and did bloodwork to try to find out what it is. By now his cough was so bad, he couldn't even speak. So he stayed in the Hospital for a few days. Every day we came to visit him. His cough slowly started going away. They found out it was nemonia (I don't know how to spell it) and started curing it quickly. On September 19, 2015, my Dad was diagnosed with Cancer, in his colon. On September 23, the doctors thought he was doing good enough to leave the hospital. We all celebrated my birthday, September 24, 2015. I turned 13 years old. On September 25, Dad's cough came back worse than before, and he was tooken back up to the Hospital by his friend. They found out that the Cancer spread to his lungs. We visited him in as much as we could. On September 28, he was talking again, making jokes, and laughing. It was as if everything was back to normal now. It was 10 o'clock pm and time for us to leave, I said "Bye Dad!" He relied "Bye Josh" and just before I stepped out of the room, I told him "I love you." and he said "I love you too." Those were the last words my Dad said to me. We went to see him the next day. We were told that he wasn't doing so good. His right lung shut down, and he was sleeping when we got there. Around 12:00 he woke up crying in pain, everyone jumped up and started talking to him at the same time. Things like "Don't worry we'll take care of the kids" and "what's wrong?" The nurses gave him stuff for his pain. He then fell back asleep. On September 29th, 1:00pm - 5 days after my birthday, my Dad died.
My dad has had nemonia once... It was so bad that he could barely talk and he was always asleep... He almost died... I was the one that called 911... I kind of saved his life because if he stayed at the house he wouldn't be here... Legit crying while righting this... I'm so sorry for both of your losses. I'll pray for you and your family...
Imagine hearing that you can’t save your child. You watch them get weaker and weaker and sicker and sicker and there’s literally nothing you can do but watch them slowly slip away.
I also feel bad for the doctors that tell these peple this a lot of doctors will mourn with the families of cases like this they will also cry too at ty he bed of the day when you know that's you cant save your child or you cant save the kid it breaks everyone
The pain,the sadness,the guilt knowing that you're the one that brought them to this cruel yet beautiful world just to make them suffer from something you cant save them from,for anyone who losts his/her loved one from the bottom of my heart... Im sorry for your loss.
I won’t pretend that I know how it feels to be a father, let alone lose your child. But I do know loss of those close to me, and I imagine that pain is elevated to an incomprehensible level when it’s your child.
When I watched this 5 years ago, I was far too young to understand the beautiful symbolism of this game. I was far too young to understand how impactful this game really is. And far too young to understand how ruthless cancer can be. Now in 2021 I sit watching this while bawling my eyes out. Now knowing how terrible cancer is. Now knowing what it’s like to have a loved one fighting. This game is truly beautiful and so ungodly impactful. I’m just so awestruck with how well they were able to capture emotions and how well they caught the watcher/players attention... on another note if anyone is going through a tough time right now, you have to know that you’re not alone. That you matter. And that no matter how small what you do effects the people around you. You are cared for. And if you ever need help, don’t be afraid to reach out. The first step is always the hardest but I strongly encourage it! You deserve to feel happy and to be at peace with yourself. Stay safe everyone! :)
I saw this. Feeling a pull to see this game again. It just seems time for everyone needing a emotional break. Everyone in the last year at least has been through a lot. Everyone is brave to keep going forward. Braver still to share their own stories and cry with others when they tell theirs.
42:12 I feel this scene is one of the most important scenes. It represents everyones veiw of the topic The doctor is stressed out because he doesn't want to seem nonhuman, but he has to tell the news The dad wants this all to be over, and is trying to find solutions The mom is really stressed and wants her son to stay, because if he died, she would fear everyone would judge her and insult her. Im not sure about the other lady though. The water, represents all the emotions, tears, and lies that are being fed into it. It represents all the stress and money. It represents everything.
The dad's dialogue makes me so sad. "He's just a bit delayed" "Who am I to him? Well, I'm dah-dah" "Pat his little cheek, Isaac! Look you made him jolly" "He's good at laughing!" and his calm tone like omg and his pure love for Joel and they way he discusses cancer to Isaac.... it's just so calming and sad
I love Sean's emotions in this. He's not playing like it's a game, more like Joel is someone e he knows and likes. He seems so genuinely happy when Joel laughs, and so heartbroken when he cries or when Joel says 'You're my friend, I love you' It's just amazing and I actually did cry, like, a lot The end just killed me.... This brave little boy, tired and just done with fighting, laying down his sword and shield... And just... resting
1. Jack would be an amazing father. I hope him and Wiishu is it? His girlfriend, I hope they create a happy life together. 2. God dammit. I promised myself I wouldn't cry but when I read the notes with Jack I just couldn't help it. 3. I'm sorry for your loss Jack and I hope it gets easier because it hasn't for me, which leads me into 4. I don't want to seem self centred or anything but I've lost three people to cancer. One was my dadi (paternal grandmother). She passed last year 2015. One month before her birthday. I miss her a lot. I wish I could tell her about my depression, my bisexuality, my problems. She would understand, she wouldn't judge me. Even though I'm muslim and bisexual. Even though she may not agree with it, she would be there for me. I need her because she's my strength. Without her, I'm afraid to tell anyone how I feel or who I like. Anybody else who has lost someone recently or at anytime in their life, I pray for you. I pray you heal. Stay strong because it's a tough world but you'll get through it. I know you will Xxx Your friend, Soufia
I think I am a human :3 I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you find happiness and hope soon. It can be hard to get through things but one day you will. It gets better.
Seeing how Jack talks to Joel even though he's just being seen through the game is heartbreaking, because there's obvious instinctual affection there, and the way the game is made really makes you attach to Joel, so it really hurts so much more when he passes
Most people likely don't care but my grandfather died in hospital not of cancer. Nobody really told me what it was but that it wasn't cancer. He was in hospital a few weeks before he passed away. He couldn't tell time anymore and when ever he saw me and my sister he said that is Was so nice of us to visit him before school. we told him that it was after school but we also said it was nice of him to really care. Before he had been in hospital he had problems not nobody knew about. Not even him. To me and my sister he was always so mean but it was just his problems. When he actually passed away my dad let me and my sister sleep in and wake up at our own time. When I did wake up my dad and my sister were in my room. I was laying there in question as they told me that my grandpa passed away. I turned around and layed back down crying. My dad and my sister left the room and we spend the day home. The next morning was a school day but my dad let us stay home again to the weekend. over the weekend we got told his funeral was next week. On Monday at school I didn't really talk much besides to when the teacher put me in a group otr to answer a question. At Home I just played video games and bad a few snacks but still didn't really talk. I was so upset when he left. I got back to talking to people the next day but I was still sad. But I also remembed no matter how bad he was he was always better than the grandpa I have now. For the few people who read this and cared thank you.
I have no clue if anyone still reads these comments but recently my friend who I've known for (by next month) a decade recently lost his auntie to cancer. A week afterwards his girlfriend broke up with him saying that he "changed". For a while I was all he talked to and one night I stayed up till early in the morning trying to stop his drug abuse. As of writing this comment its been 3 months since his auntie died. And now he's helping me with depression. If I should part with this earth a sad goodbye spare the ones who I love, don't have them cry
You'll find a way out I've had depression for a while but i know that it won't stay like this, It shows that your a true friend when you help someone else out with things thier dealing with, i wish you the best man.
ddgaming my friend tried to kill herself because literally NO ONE in the school or her home respected her exempt me and a few other of her friends. One day she told me she had tried to kill herself and she told me not to tell anyone but I did and she just had a meeting with the school counselor and her parents. It’s April vacation now and if she ever tried to kill herself there would be no way I would be able to stop her so I’m just praying for her that she doesn’t kill herself. That she can hold on. She’s my only friend and I don’t want to lose her.
Pine Drop Pye AJ Dude if you ever read this section again, I want you to know that you were the bigger person in that situation and I can guarantee that she's realised what you did. I know you won't lose her, you're lucky to have each other
Don't feel ashamed we all at a point wont to kill our self I haved wanted to kill my self for years because I couldn't stand it not having a father for 14 years in my life so I know it's hard
The part with Joel just wailing, unable to be comforted, just the amount of discomfort and possible pain he must be in, just the sound pains my heart so much that I can't keep from crying too. I want to hold him. I want to comfort him, but I can't. I can only sit and listen... and cry because I can't do anything to sooth him. It's sad that he passed, but at least he is no longer in pain. At least now, he is no longer suffering. My prayers go out to the Green family for their loss.
Probably no one will see this. But the part where sean talks about this grandma saying is sean going to visit us while he sat next to her, i know how heart wrecking it is. I never really got to meet my uncle, i have a step uncle instead. W went with my 18 year old nephew to the hospital 2 years ago. What sean said excactly happened to my nephew. He was wrecked. He has been dead for almost half a year now. I never got to meet him or see any pictures i remember. We comforted my nephew and niece as much as we could. But as any viewer, with seans grandma or joe, it's enough to make you cry. Edit after 5 months: I saw this comment again, and i just wanted to let everyone know that my niece and nephew are fine. My nephew has joined the Dutch military and has been traveling alot (before covid). My niece just got her drivers license, has a nice job and helps my aunt in her flower shop. Short: our Family is doing great! For more people who have lost any family member, i'm really sorry for you. I hope its better now or it will get better.
Dang...that happened to me too...my nanny asked me to drive her to the cabin...but she called me Stanley, her son who had been dead since he was 4 yrs old...I wish I could've just took her home...the last thing I said to her was I'm sorry nanny, but you have to stay here to live...I feel so horrible for it I wish I could've told her I loved her before she went on
I definitely know exactly what you mean ‘cause I lost my mom to cancer/ stroke on September 10, 2023 and my fur-baby Kristi Lee to a tumor in her mouth on May 12, 2023 and there was nothing I could do and I miss both of them so much and this year is my worst year of my life and I’m trying to keep myself strong.
If you’re reading this, I appreciate it. My grandma passed away due to cancer: She was important to me and it hurt bad. I love my friends who knew how it felt and helped me through it. The hardest moment during this journey was when my grandma could not talk at all. My cousin cried hard that night because she thought my grandma was mad at her, and my aunt who came to my room at 1:00 am to comfort my cousin. It was hard and my grandma got worse when we went on a road trip to Canada. It was very short but my mom was worried we would lose my grandma before we arrived. We unfortunately were not with her when she passed, but my grandpa was by her side and my newborn cousin. She was a very happy person. Whoever read this all, I appreciate you very much and you’re not alone if you’ve been through this.
Thanks. I have a family member that has cancer. I had a uncle who passed away from pancriotic cancer, his dog also died. I'm very emotional when it comes to things like this
I've been through something that has affected me for years now. When I was 9 me and my friend Pete were playing on his jungle Jim. He fell off the top and landed on his head. I thought he was dead but when we went to the hospital we found out he damged his school and his brain. He then got a mental disorder and was in a wheelchair. All of his friends left him but I was there. We always rode down the street with his chair. I loved him, he was my brother. I one day went to his house and his mom opened the door and hugged me. she pointed to the back of the room and his wheelchair was there, with flowers and a picture of me and him on it. I was 14 at the time, I'm 17 now and watching this reminded me of him. It was hard righting this while crying. I just miss him so much. If you read this and experienced something like this please share your story.
The dehydration chapter hurt so much to watch, but what made me ugly cry was Joel at the end...That's what his life is like in heaven...Pancakes and bubbles with Manju, forgetting all about the pain and suffering that cancer had caused him. And to this day, he's waiting for his family to join the picnic.
You have the purest, kindest, brightest heart with all the tenderness in the world, Sean. May god always shines upon you. May you never have to experience sadness or pain in your life. Wishing you all the best.
Khiem Ngo I know, I was just pointing something out. It must have been hard making this game. From what I heard, Joel was alive through the development of this, but ended up dying while his parents were halfway through with the game.
It's too unbearable for me to listen. It brings all the dark clouding memories for my fight against cancer. I would easily/gladly want to trade my survival just so I could hear Joel laugh again. Just why do I get the chance to live, but little brave Joel doesn't. This just ain't fair
Cancer doesn't discriminate, and that's probably the most damning, and scariest aspect about it. Literally anyone and anything could have cancer. Elders, middle age men and women, teens, and even...children.
I'm not a dad but I've aspired to be for a while, I can't imagine the pain that Joel's dad went through. Just the mental place where you'd do anything to make their pain stop but you can't help them. However, I'm so happy you're still here and I hope you live the fullest life possible.
Just understand that just because Joel didn't survive doesn't mean that you don't deserve to. You are wanted and you are loved just as Joel was. I'm sure that you're an incredible human being and I hope that you manage to accomplish everything that you want to. Cancer is shit and I'm glad that you've gotten through it. You deserve this, live for your sake. Much love ❤️
@@dexteritvy He did; I think in the credits it showed his birth and death dates. I'm commenting after but if I remember correctly his birthday was January and he passed in March. So he was 3 months into his fifth year.
the Dehydration scene is the hardest part to watch. wish i could do anything to lessen the pain they were feeling. nobody deserves to be hurt that much.
I've lost family members to Cancer. For me, when i got the call that my Grandfather had Cancer, I fell to my knees, i didn't cry, I didn't scream... i couldn't move. After about 10 minutes, The words finally became clear. I cried harder than I have ever cried, I hugged myself and Screamed and cursed Cancers name. After about a week we were able to see my grandfather, he looked so fragile... he looked like he could fall apart any second. Went to his bed side and told him all my dreams for the future, i wanted to have a big house, lots of money and have my dream car (A Honda Civic), he told me that he'd get that car for me, with a little bit of bribing. We laughed and he told me "Im going to watch you walk across that Highschool grad stage, Just like i saw your brother do" He promised and i said thank you, hugged him and went to the bathroom to cry. About a month later, sorrounded by the ones he loved, took his last breath. I'll never be able to here his laugh, or any of his Thousands of dad jokes he had. I learned something from this tho, Cancer has one job, to hurt you. But something people forget is that you win no matter what. If you take medical treatment that make it easier to live with cancer, you take some/all the pain away. If you get it removed and it never comes back (Or comes back after a while), it is gone so it can't hurt you And if you pass away because of it, you feel no pain, you are now free from the pain and the toll You win no matter what outcome happens to you.
I'm 11 now. This is my age when my grandma died. She had hernia for a few years. And she had so many surgeries and they still haven't found it until 2016. She was taken to the hospital for the last days of her life. I went in one day. She was strapped up to all the machines. I held her hand. She did nothing. I pulled back my hand and she held my hand tighter. I told her that I loved her she let go and I left. Next day was Christmas eve. I found a little Santa doll to give her. I told my mom to buy this to give it to her. Next day was Christmas. I went downstairs to see what my grandpa was doing. He was on the phone with the hospital. His eyes were watering. I asked what's wrong. He shook his head. Him and mom went to the hospital. When they got back mom was drenched in tears. She told me nan died. She had too low blood pressure for her to live. They cut her off the machine. And I never got to give her the Santa doll. Because she died on Christmas. Its hard not to write this without crying. I'm sorry for killing the mood for every one. Now I keep my Santa doll for my nans spirit. And I love her.
"and enveloped in my arms he feels safe. I’m holding him firmly, trying not to slip. Because if you hold tight enough, nothing will take him… right?” This is the most heart wrenching and honest thing I've ever heard. I have a 14yo son who had many medical problems in his early years. Your job as a parent is to protect. But when something comes along that you can't protect them from you feel helpless, worthless, lost. My heart goes out to this family and anyone else who's lost a child.
Thank you for being such an incredible parent. I'm a twin sister, and my brother and I were born 3 months early due to complications with him. I can't imagine what my parents went through. We're both fine now, 21 and going strong :) But parents like you and like my parents shock me with how loving and devoted they are. It's incredible.
I lost a sibling to cancer. Jack has really helped me through my shitty life. I’m going to tell my story, October of 2016 my older sibling had just been diagnosed with cancer. It was supposed to be curable. I thought it was all gonna be over, we were all gonna be happy, one morning, I had just arrived at school, and I was abruptly called to the office, I sat in the office for about an hour waiting for my grandparents to come pick me up. Then, a family friend came and picked me up instead, and drove me to my house, without a word. I got there, we were told to pack our stuff, and we started driving, I wasn’t told what was happening, I didn’t assume anything. We got to the hospital, I thought we were just going to visit him, as soon as I entered the area of the two rooms they had, I knew something was wrong, one room had blankets covering the windows, I was guided into the room next to it, almost all of my family was in the room, panic had set in, the nurse came in to the room, and had to tell me and my younger sibling, that my brother, my role-model, was going to die. I was in disbelief, it turns out that his cancer had gone haywire, spread through his entire body in a day or 2, I walked into the blanketed room, my mother was hugging him, crying. It was her birthday, it wasn’t supposed to happen like this. He was able to hold in there, just long enough for it to no longer be my mother’s birthday.
the dehydration part was so hard to hear. the crying, the screaming, it got to me like a knife to a heart because the feeling of not being able to take away the pain hurts so so badly. even take some for myself, ill endure the pain just so he won't have to, but you cant. in the end, you cant.
i might make it worse. But, those sounds, the sounds of the baby crying and yelling in pain. Yeah, those were real. They were recording from of Joel's time at the hospital. That knowledge, screwed me over.
I have to admit that I didn't want to watch this video. At the age of 10, I was diagnosed with Papillary Carcinoma Thyroid Cancer. This game brought out the things that still make me shake and cry to this day. The pain of not only the fighter/survivor, but of the family who sit there and fight with you. This game is TOO real. It's beauty not only unprecedented, but expressed through one of the most meaningful stories that I've ever seen. Thank you Sean, for bringing this game to 7.4 million eyes. Without you, many people wouldn't have experienced this beautiful, beautiful game.
My grandma died a few months after this video was posted, it was from cancer My grandpa died on lung cancer 1 week before my birthday Neither of them did I get to say "goodbye" to or "I love you." This video made me think of them
•ocean Blue• sorry for your losses bro, my nan died of cancer aswell 😭 I feel your pain too. But you have to move on bro. Keep on going in your life and never let anyone or anything stop your life. 👊
Idk if it's a coincidence... But I remember getting the notification for this video. My family was posting on Facebook, mourning the one month anniversary of granddad's passing away from lung cancer. This was uploaded exactly one month after he passed. I remember watching it, and sobbing. He didn't get the chance for any treatment. We hoped. We hoped. Yet one month after he was diagnosed (November 13th 2015), he passed. The last words from me was the day before he passed. His heart rate settled. He knew I was there. I said I loved him but couldn't say anything else R.I.P. December 15th, 2015
Pbotsfordslayer 5 I had a great grandfather that was a WWII vet. He passed away when I was little and I only remember small bits including the funeral.
i’m sorry for you and your family. i hope happiness comes to you soon, and i hope your granddad knows you love him, and that he’s in a better place now. sending you love💛
I’m very sorry for you when I was 5 my mom died of lung cancer my dad said she went on vacation a year later I asked when she comes back and he started crying and he told me I was 6 I didn’t really care because I didn’t get that she were gone forever so I didn’t mind when I was 8 i realized and I just balled all day for months apon months I’m crying now so I’m gonna stop here 😢 😔
Blake_TheNBHD my grandfather was an homeless man until my grandmother reunited with her father and took him in he died of bone cancer just when I was in kindergarten so around 2009 he was an such an amazing person he was pretty healthy and active especially for his age I really don't know what happened but yea R.I.P.❤❤❤
When Jack cried, I entirely lost it because when the person I look up to shows that invurnerability that I don't really see from him, I can't blame him though, it was a sad topic
I’m a tuff guy but I cried a little when Jack was telling his story about his grandmother, I can’t even imagine having a love one not even recognize you .
@@Donut-jo5mz i can relate. my granddad doesn’t have cancer but he has dementia, he didn’t remember who me and my family are, not even his wife or kids. a couple years ago it was my brothers birthday and him and his wife arrived. we we’re at panera to celebrate, he turned to my mom and asked where the birthday boy was. he was right beside him.
I was 14 when my mother died because of cancer. She was a warrior. She fought for like, 8 years. I was 6 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors found huge tumors in her brain. The only memory that I remember we're together is when I was like 4. She had 5 brain surgeries, chemotherapy and other treatments. I couldn't imagine how much it cost but it doesn't matter. I can still remember the day she passed away. I was holding her as she took her last breath. Although she lost her ability to speak, walk, see, think, I can feel that she was trying her best to recover. I can feel that she was fighting for me, Our family. It's been 7 months since she had passed away. I go back to this video every time I miss her and feel like I want to give up. This video always makes me feel better. I know that few people will read this because this is an old video but, I just want to tell you, no matter what your going through, you can make it. Do not give up. Always give your best when doing something. Whether it may be big or small. Just believe in yourself, tell yourself that you can do it! (sorry for my bad grammar)
I lost my grandma back in 2017 to breast cancer. She was, I want to say, 65 when she died, and that was still too soon for her to leave us. I can’t imagine what the Green’s went through, losing someone as precious as their young son. I was never close with my grandma, but it hurt every time I’d come home from the bus and see my mom walking out of her room with red eyes puffy, trying to act strong for me, even if she knew I knew she was just crying. I know this video is an older one, but I still connect to it. Sorry to hear about your grandma , jack.

The part with him screaming and crying actually killed me a little inside. I feel sick to my stomach now. Edit: for the morbidly curious, it starts at 1:12:13 and then gets worse and worse, starting at 1:14:48. You will feel anxious afterward. Don’t watch if you have legit serious anxiety problems
I was sobbing 😭 I felt horrible listening, I can't imagine how it must feel for a parent when your child is screaming and gasping for air because they're crying so much 😭😭
1:41:31 When Jack Cries, I cry. You’d feel connected with almost any UA-camr when they express or come through with their emotions, but Jack went into this game knowing absolutely nothing, he didn’t know the story was real, but he still treated it as if it was beforehand and the fact that he said he’ll remember the game specifically because it was emotional it was heavy and things he thought he could listen and relate to (even though he hasn’t lost anyone in that position like he said) because he gets it; those are symptoms of a great person. So are Pewds reactions too, I’d know those / these two obviously are great people even if the only video someone watched of them was this. this probably made no sense, i could go on and on but that would waste the time of watching other amazing videos like this from Jack, he has a good heart TL;DR = Watch Jack’s videos. Subscribe. SmaSh thaT liKe buttOn iN thE faCe, liKe a bOss. He’s an amazing dude. “Someone comes into this world with that suffering.. And You get to appreciate that little, small, person. Love them.. and then they’re taken away from you, so fast.”
I have cancer. I had chemotherapy and spent months in hospital you're videos got me through the loneliness and took my mind off everything. This one really hit home. Thank you sean for being there in not just mine but all of our times of despair and sadness. Thank you
i know what you mean. i was close to suicide. my life was terrible. then i found Jack's channel. i decided then that life was worth living if anyone can make me as happy as watching his happy wheels videos. thank you jack for helping me decide that i was going to live. thank you for being there even if you didn't know.
I can relate to this on a very deep level, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer when I was 4. I had a 30% chance of living, a lot of those scenes in the hospital and with the IV pumps hit something I’ve been blocking out for a really long time. I had cancer 17 years ago and I still don’t understand why I lived when so many of my friends didn’t...
I'm glad you made it through. I don't have any experience to really give you an explanation, but all I can say is there's a plan out there for all of us, some of us stray from that path and we end up in a spot we can't fight. All I honestly say is keep living, because sometimes thats all it is
When I watched this for the first time, I cried with Jack, even though I didnt understand how it felt to lose someone like that. However just back in November I lost my great grandmother to stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She was one of the sweetest people I knew, and now I'm rewatching this months later and remembering this. Not because of how sad it was to lose her, but because of how strong we've (my family and I) have had to be since her death. I miss her dearly, and I'll never forget her. Gram, I miss you, and I love you more than anything.
Man I remember watching this when it was first posted but it hits me way differently now. I lost my mum in 2021 to a terminal illness and that card section at the hospital just reminds me of the last time I got to see her. I didn't have the chance to say how much I loved her and I never got to say a proper goodbye. It still tears me apart inside.
38:35 same, my grandpa had Alzheimer's disease. I remember going to the home he was in and the moment I came in, he said "hey, you're (my sisters name) big sister, right?" And he gave me such a big hug. A few minutes later he started talking about whether I was still getting bullied or not....he was literally only remembering a few big parts of my life.....I didn't want to go there anymore, because I wanted to remember him like he was. Stubborn, just going his own way, caring, helping, everything about him. Then my parents went visiting him once and when they came back to me, they told me he was gone. To this day, I still believe he said goodbye to me, because, just minutes after he died, my foot got tingly, but my legs were steched out. I do believe that was him, because I always wanted to get tickled on my feet when I was little... Rip grandpa, miss you..😇❤❤❤
Nore Puts I'm so sorry for your loss. My granny was battling diabetes for such a long time. She got infection then she broke her hip. She suffered from hallucinations. Then finally she developed ganggrene she only ever said "help me" and I couldn't help her. I lived with her for many years. She died when I was ten. She was like a mom I never had. And then she just left.
When Jack talked about how his grandma forgot him I cried so much, the same thing happened to me when my granddad had Parkinsons... Went to visit him a few weeks before he died and he looked at me and asked who I was. My heart broke. Still cry thinking about it even if it's 4 years ago already 😭
I come back to watch this every now and then, especially when the anniversary of my great aunts passing comes by. In hospice with stage 4 cancer, can barely lift her head, and she would be asking us to contact her job to tell them that she would be better soon and would be going back as soon as she was out. Despite not completely understanding her situation but nonetheless she was motivated and hopeful til her last breath. This raw emotion. It's intense. It's overwhelming. But its necessary. And it helps me heal.
In case anyone didn’t catch it or is still confused; yes, the voices are from the real Green family. Joel’s dad is actually the developer of the game; Ryan Green. His wife, Amy Green, wrote for the game. And, if knowing that these are their voices and all their true emotions wasn’t gut wrenching enough, Joel’s voice is actually Joel. Ryan included sound from home videos of Joel. Every laugh. Every sob. Every word. Immortalized in a game all about his brave battle. It’s also good to mention that Ryan started this game while Joel was still alive, although Joel passed away when the game was only halfway finished.
Rose Esposito this hurts. hearing joels voice is so heartbreaking.
Oh my god my heart hurts
Oh shit he died rip little man hope he's still happy and playing up in heaven RIP Joel Green :(
That hurts. Way too much. Have a good day.
Holy shit... this somehow makes it feel so much worse.
I remember when I was younger there was a girl in my gym class who wore a wig. She would get picked on and the other kids would try to make her wig fall off. I remember asking her why she wore a wig and she said it was because she had cancer. I didn't know what cancer was so I shrugged it off as some hair disease. We became friends until I moved away. I will never know what happened to her. I hope she beat it.
Edit:
I came back to this video because my friend's step mom just found out she has breast cancer. And I forgot I commented about my friend from when I was a child. We were in 3rd or 4th grade. And it was a time in my life where I moved around a lot. I don't remember her name and I don't even remember the name of the school. So there is no way for me to know. Part of me wants to know and part of me doesn't. I will just hold on to the hope that she did beat her cancer and is happily living her young adult life to the fullest. Thank you everyone for you words of kindness. Cancer does not discriminate and can seem to appear out of nowhere. I wish you all health and happiness.
As well as i, doesnt matter if i don't know her. Humans stick up and hope for the best for eachother, sometimes that is...
maybe if you remember her name.. you could try to find her on Facebook.. I really hope she fought cancer..
im sure she did
+Jane Doe When I was in primary school there was a kid in my class' big sister who got cancer I think. And she would come to school practically bald. And you saw her just walking around with really short hair. I think she beat it though.
That was like. Year 6 or 7 for her though.
I'm in high school right now and in my high school there is many people that had cancer some battled it and won and some did not and one of my best friends was just told that he has stage 2 cancer thx for the video Sean
When I first watched this 4 years ago, I thought it was sad but I didn't cry.
I had no idea that 3 years later my mom would be diagnosed with leukemia in March of 2019 after 10 years of struggling with blood related health issues.
I was there every step as she went through treatment and seemingly it died down around May and we made it to the 6th floor of Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, which not many cancer patients make it to. There was so much hope. There was even a match to get a marrow transplant.
Unfortunately the slow down didn't last and it came back full force around June, making her unable to have that transplant. It had gone too far now and we were told chemo wasn't going to work anymore. She asked for a DNR and that she have her last days be in the comfort of her own home in her own bed.
I watched as my dad, who I've only seen cry once in my life, lose himself in another room so she wouldn't hear him cry. I watched as every month that went by after that my mom slowly withering away. She forced herself through her 60th birthday, through thanksgiving, through Christmas and finally New Years. New Years Eve was finally the day she could barely keep consciousness. The death rattle had already kicked in a week before that.
At 12:45pm on January 1st, 2020 she passed away in her bed and my dad and sister watched with me as she gasped for her last breath and she was gone. I had never seen someone die before, but I knew I definitely hadn't wanted it to be family; especially my mom. Especially in the very home I still have to live in alone, her door always closed.
Watching this now, I fully understand the frustrations and heartache and the hopelessness of watching someone you love be eaten away by cancer day by day. And I cried this time.
I hope your family, you, and your mom are doing well, all of y’all are strong.....bless you and your family
😥I hope you and your family are okay..
@Royal Twat I relate to that
Much love to you my brother
2020 is truly the worst year
Jack: "Sorry for crying and knocking over the mic."
Sean, you're human. That moment of self-reflection is the most human a person can be. No need to apologize for it. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you're doing okay.

As a father I could not imagine losing my son. Hes 9 months now. I love him more than life itself. I could not imagine losing him. His little laugh is so precious. Seeing him when he wakes up everyday and he smiles at me. He is the light of my life.
Congrats on being a father! I hope you never have to go through something like this.
Congratulations, I wish the best for you and your family. I hope that you'll never have to face something like this! :)

Good things never go old
Somehow I came back to this video 6 years later. The hospital scene at 36:00 is exactly how my uncle described his dad passing. He lives a couple of hours away, so he didn't visit super often. When he did though, he always felt like he was being crushed by the weight of the world because his dad got worse and worse. The last 4 or 5 days he drifted in and out of consciousness, his mind was so far gone that the only noticeable thing was that his body language changed whenever my uncle entered the room. There was some twinkle in his eyes, but he did not know how to talk anymore. The last week, they made him as comfortable as possible by playing piano music and projecting calming scenes (like a beach) on one of the walls.
EXTREMELY underrated comment. This man deserves MANY likes and MANY replies of support.
Amazing comment it’s so nice how you put the time and effort into this everyone who sees this should like this comment.
you must be on crack if you think im reading all of that
It's similar to how it was the days before my 103 year old granny passed away last year. She was so tired and rarely woke up the last 3-4 days she was alive, but the last time I visited her about a day and a half before she passed away, she woke up for a bit to everyone's surprise. And she immediately looked at me, then my sister and then my mother all while having that twinkle of recognition in her eyes. Almost like she was smiling with them. It was oddly comforting and took some of the sadness away, because I knew that she knew she was surrounded by family.
Who else cried with jack
Noah Cutter me

Noah Cutter me 😢😔😪😭🤧
this is the most emotional video I have ever experienced. I pray for everyone who has friends or family with cancer
It literally kills me hearing little kids cry
Me too. I was a cancer survivor at 2 years old (now almost 18). His cries made me so broken that I skipped those parts. At least he's not suffering anymore.
Me too. I just wanted to block it out and make it stop because it was tearing at all my instincts, but I watched it.
My heart feels like it's being ripped out of it's chest when I hear them cry. I have no idea why. It hurts so, so bad though.

I know this isnt really the place for jokes but if you take that out of context it sounds 😬
“When a man cries, it’s not because he’s weak, but because he’s been strong for too long.”
True
Or just because he's a human and it's ok to cry when you're sad

This one sentence made me cry
Bliss hey man it’s ok
Watched this when it came out and I remember skipping through it being all confused. I watched it again today, 1.5 years after my little brother was diagnosed with stage 4 hepatoblastoma at 11 years old, and a month after he was given 3 months to live. I feel like I’m watching it in slow motion, dissecting every word in that game.
I love you, Benny, 100 years wouldn’t be enough with you.
take care, man ❤

Those statements are the wrongest statements you will ever hear. Crying is emotion , emotion is human. If you didn't cry you are a robot.
But i cant cry, am i not human. I mean i feel sadness, but i cant cry. I physically cant cry, i dont know why

Crying is normal it is what makes us human and it also helps relieve pain
So never be shy to shed some tears

when i watched this 5 years ago i didnt realize how much this would hurt to watch. coming back to watch it all again in one sitting hurts.

dude i found this video just now, despite it being up for years, and i can't help but wonder if i have never seen it because the universe was hiding it from me until i needed it. one of my closest friends got diagnosed with lung cancer a month ago and idk how i'm going to be able to handle it. she's been my lifeline for years and it's kinda hard i'm not gonna lie, knowing that i can't save her this time like i always try to. that's our thing, ya know? she helps me, i help her. she's younger than me, and i've always felt like i needed to protect her since her dad died. like a sister. and it's just.. it's hard. i doubt anyone will read this, but i just kind of wanted to rant. i cut my hair with her, and they made a wig for her out of it, which may sound creepy, but she said she likes having control over anything she can, which makes since. i mean, she's 12 with cancer, you barely get any control over things. idk, i just kinda needed to rant. if anyone actually took the time to read this, thanks and i love all of y'all. also, if anyone is going through the same/similar, you can always reach out to me. ig that's all i had to say : )
God this comment makes me so freaking sad and its 2 am I should not be balling but I hope you and your friend are doing well and here's an air hug *hug*
I read it and I’m hoping she will make it
I ran out of tissues, that's a problem because this is so sad. I hope God will not think this is the right time for her to go. I will pray for you and her today
I don’t know what to say but I hope your friend is okay
Mili Mitsuki awe I barely know you but it makes me want to cry for you, you know? When you don’t someone but you feel as though you’ve known them for a long time just because of a paragraph. Anyways I’m sorry you have to experience this, it must be hard for you.
As someone who has a sibling who had cancer, I could really relate to the first scene. I remember constantly asking my mom when my sister would talk. She was five, why wasn't she talking yet? She was seven, why wasn't she talking yet? She was nine, why wasn't she talking yet?
The day I noticed her speaking in full sentences was the coolest day of my life. I though, this is the day. We're communicating, that's so fucking cool. And it made me realize, she could hear me, she understood what I was saying, but she just couldn't respond.
Luckily, she made a full recovery and is a healthy kid today. I don't know what I would've felt if she didn't. It was a very complicated and frustrating moment of my life.
that's so good to hear!
Honestly bro i love that. Made me cry a bit but goddamn am i happy for you!
If you don't mind me asking do you know what was causing her not to talk? I looked it up but to no avail...
@@Kiiwii111mostly not being exposed to much conversation because of chemo, not being able to go to school, and what we later found out was also nonverbal autism :( she's talking a lot more now, but it was really confusing as a child because we never knew what was happening
Honestly great to hear she won her fight. That is amazingly awesome.
A note of encouragement: As of 09/2019, Ryan and Amy are still married (often, couples that experience the death of a child go through divorce), the daughter that Amy mentions during the Doctor's visit is named Zoe ("life" in Greek), and it seems like the family is healing well together, and still have confidence that they'll see Joel in Heaven with Jesus.
I'd like to encourage you to buy "That Dragon, Cancer," even if you don't play it. We don't often get to see something so deeply personal, and I think almost all of us were touched by the life and faith of Ryan, Amy, Joel, and the rest of their family.
My niece died of cancer years ago. She was 9 yrs old. I like to remember her smiling and running everywhere as she used to do in life. Greetings to heaven, Daphne.
Damn, I'm so sorry. Rest in peace Daphne.
RIP Daphne ❤️
Rest in peace, Daphne. She sounded like a good kid.
The song at 33:20 I immediately recognized. It’s How Great Thou Art. A man wrote it after he lost his entire family on a ship that sank. I sing it at church sometimes
"It Is Well With My Soul" is the song you're thinking about.
Let me guess the ship was the titanic right?
Ayiogojo564 not everything is related to the titanic. it was the SS ville du havre, and though he didn’t lose his entire family - his wife being the sole survivor - it was still very traumatic for him.
@@mousebiteslover69 oh thats a depressing story, and thanks for correcting me
Kayleen Long same for mine😔 time is very valuable and precious
1:11:20 just that feeling of: your so sad you cant be sad anymore, your just mad, and then you cant be mad anymore. You're just tired. You're so tired. You just want things to be better.
I was thinking that, but more so around 46:29
I know your feels and WHY are you saying this with a Steven Universe reference and a picture of Tom from eddsworld
When my mother was 19 she was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. She was so young and scared and they didn't think she would make it. She beat the cancer, and for now it hasn't come back, but that doesn't mean that it never will. She was never expected to be able to carry children but she had me, my sister, a unnamed miscarriage child, and then my little brother. I have always donated my hair when I get it cut so that anyone who wants or needs a wig can have one because my mother has always said how she felt lost without one through her treatments. I thought I was going to be okay with talking about it again until 2017 when my Grandpa passed away from stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to his lymph nodes and to his brain. I was so upset at the doctors and the world and everything because he had taught me to draw and helped me in the worst times. They hadn't caught his cancer until he was at his worst. I have always had a soft spot for cancer survivors and anyone who has had a family member who had/has cancer or something similar. I have never really gotten over it, but I know that he's probably in a better place now and is no longer in ant pain. When Sèan mentioned his Grandmother I broke down in tears, I know it may not have been cancer, but when my grandpa had died he forgot who I was as well and I had cried and ran away to my room. (We had at home hospice).
I'm sorry for my little rant-ish thing. I just needed to write this somewhere and I guess, let people know that they aren't alone and I am here for them.
thank you for sharing, you're a very brave and kind soul
Your comment really reminds me of my grandpa Keith J Looney and he died to a infected wound in his leg at home in 2015 and when that happened I was hurt bad because I was not there when he passed away and I was not in his life much and I understand what you were going through and I loved my grandpa because he was scared but I wasn’t because I thought he would make it but he died and also it reminds me of me when I was younger because I had something called Insomnia when I was 6 and the hospital didn’t take long before they got me in a room with a oxygen mask and this was a Oakdale hospital and it was midnight but I was fine
@@vivianlooney my condolences 🙏🖤
@@wayward_clique9309 🖤 thank you for your understanding
Ok cool
My dad and my aunt were recently diagnosed with cancer. I haven’t watched this since it first came out, but I felt I needed to watch it again.
Really sorry to hear that, hope you’re doing well. I’ll keep your dad and aunt in my prayers if that’s fine by you. Hopefully they’ll pull through and return to good health soon. All the best
lost my loving father not too long ago, he fought cancer for 1 entire year! what a beast he was.. I dearly miss him.
It’s so sad because all of the pictures at the end, they looked so happy, Joel looked really happy, it shows how much the parents care.
This is hard to watch, especially for me. When I was only 4 years old, my Mom died in a car accident. I was sitting at the table at my grandparent's house, coloring a colouring book, when my grandpa came inside, and told me that my Mom died.
In 2015, around father's day, my Dad started to develop a cough. Over the months it got worse, and he slowly started losing weight. He went to clinics many times, but they were convinced it was a rare cough that lasted a few months, and would go away by itself.
He went to the Hospital a few times, after the clinics weren't helping. They ran CT scans and did bloodwork to try to find out what it is. By now his cough was so bad, he couldn't even speak. So he stayed in the Hospital for a few days.
Every day we came to visit him. His cough slowly started going away. They found out it was nemonia (I don't know how to spell it) and started curing it quickly.
On September 19, 2015, my Dad was diagnosed with Cancer, in his colon. On September 23, the doctors thought he was doing good enough to leave the hospital. We all celebrated my birthday, September 24, 2015. I turned 13 years old.
On September 25, Dad's cough came back worse than before, and he was tooken back up to the Hospital by his friend. They found out that the Cancer spread to his lungs. We visited him in as much as we could.
On September 28, he was talking again, making jokes, and laughing. It was as if everything was back to normal now. It was 10 o'clock pm and time for us to leave, I said "Bye Dad!" He relied "Bye Josh" and just before I stepped out of the room, I told him "I love you." and he said "I love you too."
Those were the last words my Dad said to me.
We went to see him the next day. We were told that he wasn't doing so good. His right lung shut down, and he was sleeping when we got there. Around 12:00 he woke up crying in pain, everyone jumped up and started talking to him at the same time. Things like "Don't worry we'll take care of the kids" and "what's wrong?" The nurses gave him stuff for his pain. He then fell back asleep.
On September 29th, 1:00pm - 5 days after my birthday, my Dad died.
man that is fucked up fist your mom and then your dad. shit like that makes me wanna change what i fell about my parents.
My dad has had nemonia once... It was so bad that he could barely talk and he was always asleep... He almost died... I was the one that called 911... I kind of saved his life because if he stayed at the house he wouldn't be here... Legit crying while righting this... I'm so sorry for both of your losses. I'll pray for you and your family...
D,,,,,,,X
I'm sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.
+Taylor Rule she not he
Imagine hearing that you can’t save your child. You watch them get weaker and weaker and sicker and sicker and there’s literally nothing you can do but watch them slowly slip away.
I also feel bad for the doctors that tell these peple this a lot of doctors will mourn with the families of cases like this they will also cry too at ty he bed of the day when you know that's you cant save your child or you cant save the kid it breaks everyone
No parent should have to bury their kids
The pain,the sadness,the guilt knowing that you're the one that brought them to this cruel yet beautiful world just to make them suffer from something you cant save them from,for anyone who losts his/her loved one from the bottom of my heart... Im sorry for your loss.
I won’t pretend that I know how it feels to be a father, let alone lose your child. But I do know loss of those close to me, and I imagine that pain is elevated to an incomprehensible level when it’s your child.
When I watched this 5 years ago, I was far too young to understand the beautiful symbolism of this game. I was far too young to understand how impactful this game really is. And far too young to understand how ruthless cancer can be. Now in 2021 I sit watching this while bawling my eyes out. Now knowing how terrible cancer is. Now knowing what it’s like to have a loved one fighting. This game is truly beautiful and so ungodly impactful. I’m just so awestruck with how well they were able to capture emotions and how well they caught the watcher/players attention... on another note if anyone is going through a tough time right now, you have to know that you’re not alone. That you matter. And that no matter how small what you do effects the people around you. You are cared for. And if you ever need help, don’t be afraid to reach out. The first step is always the hardest but I strongly encourage it! You deserve to feel happy and to be at peace with yourself. Stay safe everyone! :)
I saw this. Feeling a pull to see this game again. It just seems time for everyone needing a emotional break. Everyone in the last year at least has been through a lot. Everyone is brave to keep going forward. Braver still to share their own stories and cry with others when they tell theirs.
Same bro... same.
you must be on crack if you think im reading all of that
42:12
I feel this scene is one of the most important scenes. It represents everyones veiw of the topic
The doctor is stressed out because he doesn't want to seem nonhuman, but he has to tell the news
The dad wants this all to be over, and is trying to find solutions
The mom is really stressed and wants her son to stay, because if he died, she would fear everyone would judge her and insult her.
Im not sure about the other lady though.
The water, represents all the emotions, tears, and lies that are being fed into it. It represents all the stress and money. It represents everything.
The dad's dialogue makes me so sad.
"He's just a bit delayed"
"Who am I to him? Well, I'm dah-dah"
"Pat his little cheek, Isaac! Look you made him jolly"
"He's good at laughing!"
and his calm tone like omg and his pure love for Joel and they way he discusses cancer to Isaac.... it's just so calming and sad
Like no matter what scene is playing It just destroys me emotionally
I love Sean's emotions in this.
He's not playing like it's a game, more like Joel is someone e he knows and likes.
He seems so genuinely happy when Joel laughs, and so heartbroken when he cries or when Joel says 'You're my friend, I love you'
It's just amazing and I actually did cry, like, a lot
The end just killed me....
This brave little boy, tired and just done with fighting, laying down his sword and shield...
And just... resting
you’re gonna make me cry again...
@@magical.turtle.dragon6570 Sorry bud, just needed to get something off of my chest
@@hibaashraf6464 You're right, though
As someone who had cancer I never realized how draining it was for the people around ne
Wait so u beat it??!! Waaaaay late congrats 👏
@@duckkiie thx
I live a perfect life 🤪
As long as I'm alive it doesn't matter if only I existed it would be awesome
honestly , i had it when i was younger and it only hit me now how much it affected my friends and family close to me
Watching in 2019...
Different time. Same story. Same heartbreak.
Me to this is really sad 😭😭😭
Look at it now, I hate the 2500 people who disliked it.
LIKE GOD DAMN IT DUDE. HOW DO U DISLIKE A VID LIKE THIS, sheeesh..
Same
Same here..
???
It always breaks me when you say “he was real”, I would give up the world to hug Joel
Mills me too! 💔💔💔
Yeah its literally the only part that hits me, when he says "he was real" and you hear his voice break
Mills same here
I agree!
I wonder why did god take him away he was so young and small. His whole life ahead of him and god took it
1. Jack would be an amazing father. I hope him and Wiishu is it? His girlfriend, I hope they create a happy life together. 2. God dammit. I promised myself I wouldn't cry but when I read the notes with Jack I just couldn't help it. 3. I'm sorry for your loss Jack and I hope it gets easier because it hasn't for me, which leads me into 4. I don't want to seem self centred or anything but I've lost three people to cancer. One was my dadi (paternal grandmother). She passed last year 2015. One month before her birthday. I miss her a lot. I wish I could tell her about my depression, my bisexuality, my problems. She would understand, she wouldn't judge me. Even though I'm muslim and bisexual. Even though she may not agree with it, she would be there for me. I need her because she's my strength. Without her, I'm afraid to tell anyone how I feel or who I like.
Anybody else who has lost someone recently or at anytime in their life, I pray for you. I pray you heal. Stay strong because it's a tough world but you'll get through it. I know you will
Xxx
Your friend, Soufia
I think I am a human :3 I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you find happiness and hope soon. It can be hard to get through things but one day you will. It gets better.
I agree, jack is awesome
I'm Muslim too
I know what it feels to lose someone important to you
I'm sorry for your loss
I loved this but it's hartbreakin
😿 sad
Seeing how Jack talks to Joel even though he's just being seen through the game is heartbreaking, because there's obvious instinctual affection there, and the way the game is made really makes you attach to Joel, so it really hurts so much more when he passes
Most people likely don't care but my grandfather died in hospital not of cancer. Nobody really told me what it was but that it wasn't cancer. He was in hospital a few weeks before he passed away. He couldn't tell time anymore and when ever he saw me and my sister he said that is Was so nice of us to visit him before school. we told him that it was after school but we also said it was nice of him to really care. Before he had been in hospital he had problems not nobody knew about. Not even him. To me and my sister he was always so mean but it was just his problems. When he actually passed away my dad let me and my sister sleep in and wake up at our own time. When I did wake up my dad and my sister were in my room. I was laying there in question as they told me that my grandpa passed away. I turned around and layed back down crying. My dad and my sister left the room and we spend the day home. The next morning was a school day but my dad let us stay home again to the weekend. over the weekend we got told his funeral was next week. On Monday at school I didn't really talk much besides to when the teacher put me in a group otr to answer a question. At Home I just played video games and bad a few snacks but still didn't really talk. I was so upset when he left. I got back to talking to people the next day but I was still sad. But I also remembed no matter how bad he was he was always
better than the grandpa I have now.
For the few people who read this and cared thank you.
brianne rocks not true people do care I lost my grandma from cancer at 6 so cancer or not still hard
I'm sorry for you're loss
I'm so sorry
brianne rocks I feel so sorry for you and I read all of that because I cared
Awww babe. Im soo sorry for your loss. Hope you are doing fine, I love you.
I have no clue if anyone still reads these comments but recently my friend who I've known for (by next month) a decade recently lost his auntie to cancer. A week afterwards his girlfriend broke up with him saying that he "changed". For a while I was all he talked to and one night I stayed up till early in the morning trying to stop his drug abuse. As of writing this comment its been 3 months since his auntie died. And now he's helping me with depression. If I should part with this earth a sad goodbye spare the ones who I love, don't have them cry
You'll find a way out I've had depression for a while but i know that it won't stay like this, It shows that your a true friend when you help someone else out with things thier dealing with, i wish you the best man.
Dick Lord damn thanks you sound nicer than most so called friends thanks for being so nice
ddgaming my friend tried to kill herself because literally NO ONE in the school or her home respected her exempt me and a few other of her friends. One day she told me she had tried to kill herself and she told me not to tell anyone but I did and she just had a meeting with the school counselor and her parents. It’s April vacation now and if she ever tried to kill herself there would be no way I would be able to stop her so I’m just praying for her that she doesn’t kill herself. That she can hold on. She’s my only friend and I don’t want to lose her.
Pine Drop Pye AJ Dude if you ever read this section again, I want you to know that you were the bigger person in that situation and I can guarantee that she's realised what you did. I know you won't lose her, you're lucky to have each other
Don't feel ashamed we all at a point wont to kill our self I haved wanted to kill my self for years because I couldn't stand it not having a father for 14 years in my life so I know it's hard
i started crying litarly when he talked about his grandma
I cried 3 mins in...you're not alone
Everyone cried
69 likes
I don’t know why
But yea
Got me in my feels when he said that ;-;
Me to man
The part with Joel just wailing, unable to be comforted, just the amount of discomfort and possible pain he must be in, just the sound pains my heart so much that I can't keep from crying too. I want to hold him. I want to comfort him, but I can't. I can only sit and listen... and cry because I can't do anything to sooth him. It's sad that he passed, but at least he is no longer in pain. At least now, he is no longer suffering. My prayers go out to the Green family for their loss.
your heart is so pure, jack. you are an amazing person, please keep being yourself, always.
jack would be the best dad ever!
+MEVIbrothers ikr!
Damn straight, girl.
+MEVIbrothers definitely
Weightless that's a very very good message......
Probably no one will see this. But the part where sean talks about this grandma saying is sean going to visit us while he sat next to her, i know how heart wrecking it is. I never really got to meet my uncle, i have a step uncle instead. W
went with my 18 year old nephew to the hospital 2 years ago. What sean said excactly happened to my nephew. He was wrecked. He has been dead for almost half a year now. I never got to meet him or see any pictures i remember. We comforted my nephew and niece as much as we could. But as any viewer, with seans grandma or joe, it's enough to make you cry.
Edit after 5 months:
I saw this comment again, and i just wanted to let everyone know that my niece and nephew are fine. My nephew has joined the Dutch military and has been traveling alot (before covid). My niece just got her drivers license, has a nice job and helps my aunt in her flower shop.
Short: our Family is doing great!
For more people who have lost any family member, i'm really sorry for you. I hope its better now or it will get better.
Hinkuh I hope your doing okay buddy ⭐️
I read it..
Hinke I read it too
Dang...that happened to me too...my nanny asked me to drive her to the cabin...but she called me Stanley, her son who had been dead since he was 4 yrs old...I wish I could've just took her home...the last thing I said to her was I'm sorry nanny, but you have to stay here to live...I feel so horrible for it I wish I could've told her I loved her before she went on
Don’t worry, we saw it and hope you feel alright
who else feels like jack who be a amazing dad ?
HE would be my dream dad i love his vids
He does have great father-like qualities
I was thinking that too lol

I definitely know exactly what you mean ‘cause I lost my mom to cancer/ stroke on September 10, 2023 and my fur-baby Kristi Lee to a tumor in her mouth on May 12, 2023 and there was nothing I could do and I miss both of them so much and this year is my worst year of my life and I’m trying to keep myself strong.
If you’re reading this, I appreciate it. My grandma passed away due to cancer: She was important to me and it hurt bad. I love my friends who knew how it felt and helped me through it. The hardest moment during this journey was when my grandma could not talk at all. My cousin cried hard that night because she thought my grandma was mad at her, and my aunt who came to my room at 1:00 am to comfort my cousin. It was hard and my grandma got worse when we went on a road trip to Canada. It was very short but my mom was worried we would lose my grandma before we arrived. We unfortunately were not with her when she passed, but my grandpa was by her side and my newborn cousin. She was a very happy person. Whoever read this all, I appreciate you very much and you’re not alone if you’ve been through this.
I hope you're okay :(
Thanks man. I am going through the same thing
Tyler Mills Well I hope you both are okay!🥺
Thanks. I have a family member that has cancer. I had a uncle who passed away from pancriotic cancer, his dog also died. I'm very emotional when it comes to things like this
Tyler Mills I wish you all my luck and you’ll get through this! And it’s okay to feel emotional just remember to have hope and never give up!

I gone to far
I've been through something that has affected me for years now. When I was 9 me and my friend Pete were playing on his jungle Jim. He fell off the top and landed on his head. I thought he was dead but when we went to the hospital we found out he damged his school and his brain. He then got a mental disorder and was in a wheelchair. All of his friends left him but I was there. We always rode down the street with his chair. I loved him, he was my brother. I one day went to his house and his mom opened the door and hugged me. she pointed to the back of the room and his wheelchair was there, with flowers and a picture of me and him on it. I was 14 at the time, I'm 17 now and watching this reminded me of him. It was hard righting this while crying. I just miss him so much. If you read this and experienced something like this please share your story.
Skull* Sorry like I said it was hard typing that.
I'm really sorry. Just listening to a story can make me appreciate someone more.💖
I'm sorry for ur loss just reading ur comment it just made me so sad
yo dude sorry for your loss D':

The dehydration chapter hurt so much to watch, but what made me ugly cry was Joel at the end...That's what his life is like in heaven...Pancakes and bubbles with Manju, forgetting all about the pain and suffering that cancer had caused him. And to this day, he's waiting for his family to join the picnic.
It's even more sad when its based on a true story
monka S when they said that I broke into tears 😢

I wish it wasint real. poor boy has to suffer from it he should have a full life not a short one god bless you R.i.p
You have the purest, kindest, brightest heart with all the tenderness in the world, Sean. May god always shines upon you. May you never have to experience sadness or pain in your life. Wishing you all the best.

Judging from the credits, I am glad to say that neither of Joel’s parents committed suicide because they both wrote of their son’s journey.
I mean they did voice act in the game
@@naiknaik8812 for me,I don't think this is voice acting because I can feel this is their actual pain through this voice
Khiem Ngo I believe that all of the actual dialogue is recorded, as well as Joel’s cries and laughs. As for the inner thoughts, those are voice acted
@@mindlessmyriad it can be see as voice acting but their voice is actual pain, not just a make up drama
Khiem Ngo I know, I was just pointing something out. It must have been hard making this game. From what I heard, Joel was alive through the development of this, but ended up dying while his parents were halfway through with the game.
It's too unbearable for me to listen. It brings all the dark clouding memories for my fight against cancer. I would easily/gladly want to trade my survival just so I could hear Joel laugh again. Just why do I get the chance to live, but little brave Joel doesn't. This just ain't fair
You had cancer? If you did, It depresses me that nobody’s commenting on this.
Cancer doesn't discriminate, and that's probably the most damning, and scariest aspect about it. Literally anyone and anything could have cancer. Elders, middle age men and women, teens, and even...children.
I'm not a dad but I've aspired to be for a while, I can't imagine the pain that Joel's dad went through. Just the mental place where you'd do anything to make their pain stop but you can't help them. However, I'm so happy you're still here and I hope you live the fullest life possible.
Just understand that just because Joel didn't survive doesn't mean that you don't deserve to. You are wanted and you are loved just as Joel was. I'm sure that you're an incredible human being and I hope that you manage to accomplish everything that you want to. Cancer is shit and I'm glad that you've gotten through it. You deserve this, live for your sake. Much love ❤️
You deserve to be here, alive.

@@dexteritvy He did; I think in the credits it showed his birth and death dates. I'm commenting after but if I remember correctly his birthday was January and he passed in March. So he was 3 months into his fifth year.
the Dehydration scene is the hardest part to watch. wish i could do anything to lessen the pain they were feeling. nobody deserves to be hurt that much.
I've lost family members to Cancer. For me, when i got the call that my Grandfather had Cancer, I fell to my knees, i didn't cry, I didn't scream... i couldn't move. After about 10 minutes, The words finally became clear. I cried harder than I have ever cried, I hugged myself and Screamed and cursed Cancers name.
After about a week we were able to see my grandfather, he looked so fragile... he looked like he could fall apart any second. Went to his bed side and told him all my dreams for the future, i wanted to have a big house, lots of money and have my dream car (A Honda Civic), he told me that he'd get that car for me, with a little bit of bribing. We laughed and he told me "Im going to watch you walk across that Highschool grad stage, Just like i saw your brother do" He promised and i said thank you, hugged him and went to the bathroom to cry. About a month later, sorrounded by the ones he loved, took his last breath. I'll never be able to here his laugh, or any of his Thousands of dad jokes he had.
I learned something from this tho,
Cancer has one job, to hurt you. But something people forget is that you win no matter what.
If you take medical treatment that make it easier to live with cancer, you take some/all the pain away.
If you get it removed and it never comes back (Or comes back after a while), it is gone so it can't hurt you
And if you pass away because of it, you feel no pain, you are now free from the pain and the toll
You win no matter what outcome happens to you.
Same here
W grandpa,
also another thing
cancer dies with the patient, no one wins its a tie.
The line “I should be yelling. Why am I not yelling?” hit me way too hard
I'm 11 now. This is my age when my grandma died. She had hernia for a few years. And she had so many surgeries and they still haven't found it until 2016. She was taken to the hospital for the last days of her life. I went in one day. She was strapped up to all the machines. I held her hand. She did nothing. I pulled back my hand and she held my hand tighter. I told her that I loved her she let go and I left. Next day was Christmas eve. I found a little Santa doll to give her. I told my mom to buy this to give it to her. Next day was Christmas. I went downstairs to see what my grandpa was doing. He was on the phone with the hospital. His eyes were watering. I asked what's wrong. He shook his head. Him and mom went to the hospital. When they got back mom was drenched in tears. She told me nan died. She had too low blood pressure for her to live. They cut her off the machine. And I never got to give her the Santa doll. Because she died on Christmas. Its hard not to write this without crying. I'm sorry for killing the mood for every one. Now I keep my Santa doll for my nans spirit. And I love her.
the epic my nan died at Halloween. The worst time of the year to die. I'm here for you bro. Please don't be sad. Have fun and enjoy your life
I'm sorry for your loss of a very well loved epic nan
i am so sorry
dude your msg made me in tears like fuck man so sorry
the epic I'm obviously really emotional right now I've cried over a million comments
"and enveloped in my arms he feels safe. I’m holding him firmly, trying not to slip. Because if you hold tight enough, nothing will take him… right?”
This is the most heart wrenching and honest thing I've ever heard. I have a 14yo son who had many medical problems in his early years. Your job as a parent is to protect. But when something comes along that you can't protect them from you feel helpless, worthless, lost. My heart goes out to this family and anyone else who's lost a child.
Thank you for being such an incredible parent. I'm a twin sister, and my brother and I were born 3 months early due to complications with him. I can't imagine what my parents went through. We're both fine now, 21 and going strong :) But parents like you and like my parents shock me with how loving and devoted they are. It's incredible.
God, the difference between his mood between 0:00 and 1:38:05 is gigantic
I lost a sibling to cancer. Jack has really helped me through my shitty life. I’m going to tell my story, October of 2016 my older sibling had just been diagnosed with cancer. It was supposed to be curable. I thought it was all gonna be over, we were all gonna be happy, one morning, I had just arrived at school, and I was abruptly called to the office, I sat in the office for about an hour waiting for my grandparents to come pick me up. Then, a family friend came and picked me up instead, and drove me to my house, without a word. I got there, we were told to pack our stuff, and we started driving, I wasn’t told what was happening, I didn’t assume anything. We got to the hospital, I thought we were just going to visit him, as soon as I entered the area of the two rooms they had, I knew something was wrong, one room had blankets covering the windows, I was guided into the room next to it, almost all of my family was in the room, panic had set in, the nurse came in to the room, and had to tell me and my younger sibling, that my brother, my role-model, was going to die. I was in disbelief, it turns out that his cancer had gone haywire, spread through his entire body in a day or 2, I walked into the blanketed room, my mother was hugging him, crying. It was her birthday, it wasn’t supposed to happen like this. He was able to hold in there, just long enough for it to no longer be my mother’s birthday.
He sounds like a strong man, holding out for your Mum sounded like his final thank you and goodbye x
I’m so sorry
Wow sorry if I am being mean I hope I’m not but that is dark your brother in the hospital on your mom’s birthday I’m so sorry
@Royal Twat I feel bad for you, she must've been a kind hearted person
@Royal Twat ok. Sorry if I offended you
the dehydration part was so hard to hear. the crying, the screaming, it got to me like a knife to a heart because the feeling of not being able to take away the pain hurts so so badly. even take some for myself, ill endure the pain just so he won't have to, but you cant. in the end, you cant.
i might make it worse. But, those sounds, the sounds of the baby crying and yelling in pain. Yeah, those were real. They were recording from of Joel's time at the hospital. That knowledge, screwed me over.
I couldn't stop crying, I could feel the pain
@Sean Macguire I understand, I think it's just in this situation its sad.
@Sean Macguire now's not the time for haha's
Today’s the anniversary of Joels death, rest in peace buddy ❤️
Rest In Peace Joel 🙏🏻♥️
Rip Joel.... such a nice, happy child....
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rest in peace joel❤️
Hejfhd Endnfje Rest In Peace Joel. We will all miss you. You will be in our hearts
SPOILERS JUST SCROLLING THE COMMENTS
I have to admit that I didn't want to watch this video. At the age of 10, I was diagnosed with Papillary Carcinoma Thyroid Cancer. This game brought out the things that still make me shake and cry to this day. The pain of not only the fighter/survivor, but of the family who sit there and fight with you. This game is TOO real. It's beauty not only unprecedented, but expressed through one of the most meaningful stories that I've ever seen. Thank you Sean, for bringing this game to 7.4 million eyes. Without you, many people wouldn't have experienced this beautiful, beautiful game.
I was in tears when I heard the story about. Jack's grandma :-(
I agree :'(
this video is not sad at all
+Kaleb Sapien the story about Jack's grandma is sad
if you dont think this was sad then your heartless
+Kaleb Sapien this video is sad
My grandma died a few months after this video was posted, it was from cancer
My grandpa died on lung cancer 1 week before my birthday
Neither of them did I get to say "goodbye" to or "I love you."
This video made me think of them
•ocean Blue• sorry for your losses bro, my nan died of cancer aswell 😭 I feel your pain too. But you have to move on bro. Keep on going in your life and never let anyone or anything stop your life. 👊
•ocean Blue• sorry man I bet you grandma was really a nice person
I'm sorry for your losses their in a better place now
•ocean Blue• *gives hug* I'm truly sorry... I know how it feels. :'(
•ocean Blue• everyone will losw someone in life
Idk if it's a coincidence... But I remember getting the notification for this video. My family was posting on Facebook, mourning the one month anniversary of granddad's passing away from lung cancer. This was uploaded exactly one month after he passed. I remember watching it, and sobbing. He didn't get the chance for any treatment. We hoped. We hoped. Yet one month after he was diagnosed (November 13th 2015), he passed. The last words from me was the day before he passed. His heart rate settled. He knew I was there. I said I loved him but couldn't say anything else
R.I.P. December 15th, 2015
Pbotsfordslayer 5 I had a great grandfather that was a WWII vet. He passed away when I was little and I only remember small bits including the funeral.
i’m sorry for you and your family. i hope happiness comes to you soon, and i hope your granddad knows you love him, and that he’s in a better place now. sending you love💛
I’m very sorry for you when I was 5 my mom died of lung cancer my dad said she went on vacation a year later I asked when she comes back and he started crying and he told me I was 6 I didn’t really care because I didn’t get that she were gone forever so I didn’t mind when I was 8 i realized and I just balled all day for months apon months I’m crying now so I’m gonna stop here 😢 😔
Blake_TheNBHD my b-day is on nov 13
Blake_TheNBHD my grandfather was an homeless man until my grandmother reunited with her father and took him in he died of bone cancer just when I was in kindergarten so around 2009 he was an such an amazing person he was pretty healthy and active especially for his age I really don't know what happened but yea R.I.P.❤❤❤
38:18 this part is too emotional for jack to handle
SHUT UP
@@Zarro0o0o huh?
Yeah Shut Up
When he he started crying I just wanted to hug him so much.
Jayna Warrel me too
GIVE ME THE TIME IN THE VID
28:18
Jayna Warrel your right he just talked about some thing very personal oand he so happy dut its good that he talked about his feelings im so sorry jack
Jayna Warrel omg that was so amotinal
When Jack cried, I entirely lost it because when the person I look up to shows that invurnerability that I don't really see from him, I can't blame him though, it was a sad topic
I’m a tuff guy but I cried a little when Jack was telling his story about his grandmother, I can’t even imagine having a love one not even recognize you .
@@Donut-jo5mz i can relate. my granddad doesn’t have cancer but he has dementia, he didn’t remember who me and my family are, not even his wife or kids.
a couple years ago it was my brothers birthday and him and his wife arrived. we we’re at panera to celebrate, he turned to my mom and asked where the birthday boy was. he was right beside him.
@@dagbeet damn
@@dagbeet Thats...depressing. I wish the best for your father
I'm trying to hold it in because I'm about to go down for dinner with my family and be grateful they're all still here
I was 14 when my mother died because of cancer. She was a warrior. She fought for like, 8 years. I was 6 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors found huge tumors in her brain. The only memory that I remember we're together is when I was like 4. She had 5 brain surgeries, chemotherapy and other treatments. I couldn't imagine how much it cost but it doesn't matter. I can still remember the day she passed away. I was holding her as she took her last breath. Although she lost her ability to speak, walk, see, think, I can feel that she was trying her best to recover. I can feel that she was fighting for me, Our family. It's been 7 months since she had passed away.
I go back to this video every time I miss her and feel like I want to give up. This video always makes me feel better.
I know that few people will read this because this is an old video but, I just want to tell you, no matter what your going through, you can make it. Do not give up. Always give your best when doing something. Whether it may be big or small. Just believe in yourself, tell yourself that you can do it!
(sorry for my bad grammar)
@Zion Smith I am sorry to hear that too, our family is doing okay but it will never be the same again
Ok now this is undrrated
My mom passed too 1973-2011 I was 4 1/2 she was 36 I don’t remember much but she happier now and I am making her proud
My mom passed too 1973-2011 I was 4 1/2 she was 36 I don’t remember much but she happier now and I am making her proud
I lost my grandma back in 2017 to breast cancer. She was, I want to say, 65 when she died, and that was still too soon for her to leave us. I can’t imagine what the Green’s went through, losing someone as precious as their young son. I was never close with my grandma, but it hurt every time I’d come home from the bus and see my mom walking out of her room with red eyes puffy, trying to act strong for me, even if she knew I knew she was just crying. I know this video is an older one, but I still connect to it. Sorry to hear about your grandma , jack.
Jack should raise a son. A good son would be happy in Jack's house.
Except Billy. Screw Billy
LMAO
Also true
Curse you billy!
Lol
lol
*SCREW YOU BILLY*
Just watching him play with Joel makes me think that he would make the best parent.
Bro the way he would giggle with Joel i nearly cried
Agreed, he would make an amazing father figure 🥺
The Dragon, who drains love from the heart
The Dragon, who brings sadness to all
The Dragon, who sickens the strong
The Dragon, who takes away loved ones
The Dragon, a surreal reality that we must face

Lynn Gallant damn
Kill the dragon save the world
nice word i feel it

Im Sorry, shoulda added that in, nice verse :)
rewatching this after recently losing my mom to cancer makes this 1000x more heart breaking. i’ll always miss you mom.
The part with him screaming and crying actually killed me a little inside. I feel sick to my stomach now.
Edit: for the morbidly curious, it starts at 1:12:13 and then gets worse and worse, starting at 1:14:48. You will feel anxious afterward. Don’t watch if you have legit serious anxiety problems
I dont even want to know where they got that...
Stealthlock "screaming"? Really?
It sounded like he was in pain. So I started crying wondering if he was dying. It really scared me a lot. But I can relate it really scared me
I was sobbing 😭 I felt horrible listening, I can't imagine how it must feel for a parent when your child is screaming and gasping for air because they're crying so much 😭😭
I can't stop crying over that part
1:41:31 When Jack Cries, I cry. You’d feel connected with almost any UA-camr when they express or come through with their emotions, but Jack went into this game knowing absolutely nothing, he didn’t know the story was real, but he still treated it as if it was beforehand and the fact that he said he’ll remember the game specifically because it was emotional it was heavy and things he thought he could listen and relate to (even though he hasn’t lost anyone in that position like he said) because he gets it; those are symptoms of a great person.
So are Pewds reactions too, I’d know those / these two obviously are great people even if the only video someone watched of them was this.
this probably made no sense, i could go on and on but that would waste the time of watching other amazing videos like this from Jack, he has a good heart
TL;DR = Watch Jack’s videos. Subscribe. SmaSh thaT liKe buttOn iN thE faCe, liKe a bOss. He’s an amazing dude.
“Someone comes into this world with that suffering.. And You get to appreciate that little, small, person. Love them.. and then they’re taken away from you, so fast.”
Vanillaa Beann I agree with everything you said. Jack is a great person. And he has a big heart for people.
Ok
I rewatched the video cause it was very emotional but the game was really good
there was a youtuber that made fun of this game but it was a while back and forgot who
Cool
When Jack cried, I cried
When Jack laughed, I laughed
When Jack wanted to kick Evie's ass, I wanted to kick Evie's ass
Holy shit i completely forgot about evie
Saaaaaaame
True
That darn evie
And when jack DIES you probably will...
1:14:50 i can actually feel the pain in Joel's tears, its heartbreaking what cancer patients go through, let alone a baby. May Joel rest in peace.
I have cancer. I had chemotherapy and spent months in hospital you're videos got me through the loneliness and took my mind off everything. This one really hit home. Thank you sean for being there in not just mine but all of our times of despair and sadness. Thank you
+DJ Sim You're such a strong person. Having cancer must suck. A lot. But you are incredibly lucky and I hope you get rid of it. :'(
+Scarlett the Marshmallow thank u
i know what you mean. i was close to suicide. my life was terrible. then i found Jack's channel. i decided then that life was worth living if anyone can make me as happy as watching his happy wheels videos. thank you jack for helping me decide that i was going to live. thank you for being there even if you didn't know.
Well I hope u get well soon and live a happy life
+DJ Sim I pray for you
I can relate to this on a very deep level, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer when I was 4. I had a 30% chance of living, a lot of those scenes in the hospital and with the IV pumps hit something I’ve been blocking out for a really long time. I had cancer 17 years ago and I still don’t understand why I lived when so many of my friends didn’t...
I'm glad you made it through. I don't have any experience to really give you an explanation, but all I can say is there's a plan out there for all of us, some of us stray from that path and we end up in a spot we can't fight. All I honestly say is keep living, because sometimes thats all it is
I’m really sorry that must have been really hard but it just shows how strong you are, hope your ok and having a good day
Im glad you're here though
I'm so happy that you're still here👑👑❤️❤️
Yo bro u dropped this 👑
I can relate I'm 14 yrs old and I'm fighting cancer for the 3rd time. I'm still hoping things go well for the future.
Gws
I pray that you get better
you got this
final round
kick cancers ass!!!
I pray for you! I love you so much!
+Alexis Culver I will be praying for you hope you get better
When I watched this for the first time, I cried with Jack, even though I didnt understand how it felt to lose someone like that. However just back in November I lost my great grandmother to stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She was one of the sweetest people I knew, and now I'm rewatching this months later and remembering this. Not because of how sad it was to lose her, but because of how strong we've (my family and I) have had to be since her death. I miss her dearly, and I'll never forget her. Gram, I miss you, and I love you more than anything.
Jack:its about cancer so I'm gonna treat it with the respect it deserves
Also Jack:I like the potato shaped head
Baka
Yeah.. *sniffles*
Yeah leave the potato’s alone
Comedic relief? All I know is it wasn’t meant to be disrespectful at all. Other youtubers might disrespect it, but not jack
Jack has such a big heart ♥️

He would’ve been eleven in eight days💔
Are you saying you know his birthday?

he died at 5

he’s 11 now
Man I remember watching this when it was first posted but it hits me way differently now. I lost my mum in 2021 to a terminal illness and that card section at the hospital just reminds me of the last time I got to see her. I didn't have the chance to say how much I loved her and I never got to say a proper goodbye. It still tears me apart inside.
38:35 same, my grandpa had Alzheimer's disease. I remember going to the home he was in and the moment I came in, he said "hey, you're (my sisters name) big sister, right?" And he gave me such a big hug. A few minutes later he started talking about whether I was still getting bullied or not....he was literally only remembering a few big parts of my life.....I didn't want to go there anymore, because I wanted to remember him like he was. Stubborn, just going his own way, caring, helping, everything about him.
Then my parents went visiting him once and when they came back to me, they told me he was gone.
To this day, I still believe he said goodbye to me, because, just minutes after he died, my foot got tingly, but my legs were steched out.
I do believe that was him, because I always wanted to get tickled on my feet when I was little...
Rip grandpa, miss you..😇❤❤❤
Nore Puts I'm so sorry for your loss. My granny was battling diabetes for such a long time. She got infection then she broke her hip. She suffered from hallucinations. Then finally she developed ganggrene she only ever said "help me" and I couldn't help her. I lived with her for many years. She died when I was ten. She was like a mom I never had. And then she just left.
Lea Colon thank you and im sorry for your loss.....i know things like these are never easy to go through
I have never got to see my mom I have been living with my grandma since I was 1 year anniversary old and I know the feeling of losing someone
T^T
so sorry for your losses guys
When Jack talked about how his grandma forgot him I cried so much, the same thing happened to me when my granddad had Parkinsons... Went to visit him a few weeks before he died and he looked at me and asked who I was. My heart broke. Still cry thinking about it even if it's 4 years ago already 😭
i'm so sorry for your loss

I really wish I could copy and paste this but I won't mentally remember this without copying or screenshotting, so I'll do that
I come back to watch this every now and then, especially when the anniversary of my great aunts passing comes by. In hospice with stage 4 cancer, can barely lift her head, and she would be asking us to contact her job to tell them that she would be better soon and would be going back as soon as she was out. Despite not completely understanding her situation but nonetheless she was motivated and hopeful til her last breath.
This raw emotion. It's intense. It's overwhelming. But its necessary. And it helps me heal.
