Also in case anyone thinks I'm using this game as exploitation for views or my own gain, I will be donating to a cancer charity soon. I don't want it to feel like I played it just for the reaction, I was genuinely curious beforehand and moved by the end.

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.

[@P0rtalgate]

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

[@flybot98]

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.

[@rachellejanssen2655]

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.

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.

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.

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! :)

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

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.

[@PaxIesus]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@ddgaming3534]

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

[@Cringo03]

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.

[@anklegod3700]

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.

[@ddgaming3534]

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..😇❤❤❤

1:41:31 When Jack Cries, I cry. You’d feel connected with almost any KZbinr 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.

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.

[@TrashPancho]

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.

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

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)

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.

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'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.
