To those who don’t understand the last part of the video, it’s a direct reference to terminal lucidity within people with dementia. In the final moments of their life, they can often suddenly remember everything - and then die. Life is cruel.

Stage 1 - The house is as it should be. Your friends remain stable, everything is where it should be, even the dog go is happy Stage 2 - The house is greyed out in places, and some things aren’t present. The doggie is different. Stage 3 - More confusion, more missing-ness, different dog, and you take a quick moment to recognise even yourself. Stage 4/5/6 - Memory is unpresent anymore, the house is unfamiliar, it’s all gone. Finale - It all comes back to you for a moment, your friends, your achievements, your recognisability. And just as soon as it comes back, it fades away.

I will never understand how it must feel to have all your memories slowly, but always being taken away, then minutes before death, having the equivilent of the movie of your life finaly start up again.

[@LonnyH]

I've been working with a patient who had a stroke that has seemed to set his dementia into motion. I don't work directly in his memory care, but talking to him, he knew he was starting to forget things. He was a retired attorney. Very smart, well spoken, and had a calmness to him that showed he was used to being in control of things. He'd forget that he'd spoken to me the day prior, he couldn't get some simple words off the tip of his tongue, he'd misunderstand very simple instructions (how to press the call light). His memory therapy involved writing down what he did that day, and you can tell he really tried. Had pages full of stuff for each day. He regressed as the weeks went on. He couldn't find the word "pain" in his head to tell us he was hurting. He asked for my name 3 times in one conversation. He thought we were lying to him and always wanted everything to be approved by his wife first - but then he'd forget that we'd already spoken to her. And he loved to argue, but it was always nonsensical. He'd sit and think really hard about what he wanted to say, and then he'd cry when he couldn't get it. He had a spinal surgery and was given a morphine pump and quickly grew hooked on it. In 8 weeks he went from a respectable, established, retired professional to a man lost in his head, crying over literally losing his mind, screaming for pain medicine, and not being able to see the only person he trusts due to COVID restrictions. You see a lot of sad things working in hospitals, and you learn to wall yourself off from your emotions. Tbh I often found myself more annoyed than sympathetic toward him. But every once in a while, I have a case that gets to me. That one got to me a little.

[@bootysnatcher9263]

Oh god that sounds horrible

[@CODA96]

This is a horrifying thought, and the same thought that always travels through my mind. Your memory is where your soul/true self is located. If you forget yourself, you die. You are someone else now, it doesnt matter if you still have the same body. Your memory of your life is gone, its as if you are already dead. To be confronted with these horrifying cases day by day is why i could never work in a hospital, but i respect the people that can. On a more positive note: For receiving such a generous gift as your life, you always pay with death in the end. Even life costs a certain currency, and that is death. You just pay back what has been given to you, its all a fair process.

[@lilsmuggles7245]

That sounds awesome to work in that line of employment, though sometimes sad the mind and body can do very drastic things it baffles me

[@mysterioushawk2171]

I'm sorry to hear that, though not related but it sorta reminds me of myself. Not in this way but rather a nother. So I for long lacked empathy for people, more in the sense that their emotions truly didn't matter to me, more than anything I used to see stuff through analysing it and put values to it and on top of that being Bullied at school for my odd "clownish behaviour" didn't help either. It actually kinda made things worse on my part of trying to understand others more, stuff kept their pace until one day one of my friend came to me in. Hurry and said she wanted to talk to me, what she said will remain a secret as she so asked but I'll say that it probably was sensitive. She was crying to me about her problems and I was just there unfazed, I didn't know how to react I felt bad but didn't know how to show so I tried to give her reasons and solutions as to how her problems can be fixed ,it helped her but after that I was the one who was feeling lost. So I too know how it feels to be lost, it's wierd, sometimes you're happy then sad then angry and upset, overall just not well, in my case I was questioning my own self as to why can't I just empathize like others do, I always thought it was because of me being an introvert until one day I told my parents about it and then they took me to a phycologist, and after days of being tested I got diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Now I'm 18 and next year I'll be graduating from high school . The point is that hadn't it been for Y + X= Z I would never have become the person I am today, as I learned more and more about my condition I got introduced to a lot of things, one of them being drawing, and 2 years after I started drawing I got into multiple art competitions and other stuff, ( and a lot more ) . Though it may seem as though your job is hard but on the other hand you truly are doing people with problems a great solace, without people like I may have never become the person that I am today, All and all, it's all about give and take, we give support to take comfort or love in exchange for love. Work for improvement and improve for easier care. At least that's how I feel about it, it's like a reaction that needs to be fufiled in anyway there really is. And your task although stressful but quite essential for everyone, and I thank you for it. Thank you for your service and hopefully I wasn't mean in anyway😀 take care .

Watching this gave me such mix signals of fear, but also grief. I had a grandfather on my moms side. He was a great man, he volunteered to fight in Vietnam, and when he came back home, he was so hurt by what he saw, he turned to drinking, and would abuse my mom and my aunt (physically). I never knew he existed untill I was about 7. My mom was driving him to a new nursing home, and she also had to pick me up from a birthday party. I was a shy kid and I was always told to stay away from strangers. He would ask me questions about myself like I’d known him my whole life. A year and a half ago, I learned more about him, and I found out he’d been diagnosed with dementia. My mom even though she resented him, she still cared about him. And my dad never wanted me around him, but for a little while he would call us and we would say hi, and he would be the nicest man in the whole world. One day, my dad told us that he wanted us to get out of the house for a little while. He took us to Dave and busters, played some arcade games and had a blast. I came back home to see my mom pouring with tears. I hugged her and she told me, my grandpa Bruce had died. So much was going through my mind. She told me how they sang his favorite Irish song before he died. I wish I had gotten to know him better, I wish I knew my grandad. Now that I’m slightly older now, I like to think that, in those final few months, he didn’t remember the hate, and the grief he had to go through, and he was the man my mom had known for those few years. I now had recently found out that my non biological grandfather (who I consider to be my real grandad) has dementia. And I’m so afraid, and I’ve been trying so hard to get know him as well as I can. I love him too much and I’m scared he’s gonna be gone just like my grandpa Bruce. If you’ve just read this whole thing I’m sorry for just emotion dumping. This video made me just feel so much and I had to get it out. Thank you for this

We got her to a new home where she's getting the help she needs and deserves, even though I know there most likely isn't anything they can do. My only hope is that she remembers all her happy memories Edit: Thanks for all the kind replies everyone, it really means a lot 🙂

I never tought I would ever see such a serious topic portrayed so perfectly by minecraft, or any other game for that matter. My grandma suffered from dementia for 20 years until the day she passed. It was hard for the whole family, there was fighting and sacrifice she was completely oblivious of. It tore her kids apart from one another. I feel guilty sometimes, when she passed last year, I didn't say goodbye, I stood there by her bed just watching her and reflecting on how much the whole family had waited for that moment. I felt relief that she would finally rest, and relief that we all would rest too. I was tired of seeing her scream in horror whenever someone she didn't know got into her room, we heard those screams everyday, she was scared and confused and just wanted to go home to a place she recognized. I can't even begin to imagine how awful that must feel, And to struggle like that for over 10 years... She deserved more. But we also did. I don't miss her, she was never good to me but, I can only move towards forgiving her. Slowly, but one day I will. Dementia and alzheimer are bad. Really bad. For the family, for the patient, the caretakers. I really wouldn't wish that over anyone. Most people fear being a burden, and living with someone with dementia is the definition of a burden, as much as you love them, they stop being themselves after years, they're no longer the person you knew and loved, they're not there anymore. It's an empty vessel. Most people don't live long enough to get to that stage, but my grandma was unlucky, she lived year after year after year and suddenly her health plummeted and she was gone in a couple days. I'm sorry this got so dark, and probably someone else who has seen this first person will disagree with me about their experience. I just had to vent a little bit about my own experience. Also sorry it's so long If you even made it this fsr

Another 1 of them was labeled ‘the good old days’ and how it lead to a dull grey, meaning that he could not remember anything from the time when he felt the most alive... the time when he could still remember. The last one was labeled ‘tommorow’ which was led to nothing, symbolizing that he does not have anything to do the following day, or rather, he does not remember what he wanted to do the next day. And the last part where he was walking down the long hallway, it started with a dull grey colour with represents nothing and how it eventually built up to something. This ‘something’ shows how his dementia was eventually lifted from him and how the same flower the girl gave him at the start was potted in each pot and his achievements he accomplished during his ‘good old days’ but this hallway is eventually ended with a bed and a chest, which he would put his belongings in, showing the things he truly cared about, would not be carried with him to his afterlife, or in this case, his last sleep. When he passes out, we were able to see his last thoughts were about his friends, the few people who truly were able to brighten his day, even though it would for just that one day, he was grateful for them trying to provide him with the greatest comfort they could

[@mahh6009]

At first, when I saw this I didn't see that it was about dementia. I took it in an entirely separate way. It's odd, how 1 thing can have 2 separate meanings to 2 different people. I thought it was the loss of that "spark" of Minecraft, of childhood, of any sense of direction in your life. The slowly corroding and fading home of a once vibrant and wonderful present became a dull and passing past. How night was always another step closer, and how doors kept closing. The memories of that game and those people who filled your life with such joy are gone. The glory days are over. I genuinely teared up thinking this was the meaning. How everything was being lost and becoming a dull gray. I know when I think back I look at the days and memories past, memories I will never relive. I also look back at the years I think were robbed from me. The experiences I should've had, the growth that should've been much more colorful, but instead, I can't remember the past year and a half of my life. The years where I'm finally supposed to become myself. (I didn't want to make this about Rona, trust me, but while writing this I made the connection that it is for that very reason I've felt dull the past while.) I was supposed to travel with friends and keep making that infamous year the best in my life. Now I have college and adulthood looming over me. However, such as the end of this video, it all sort of comes back, you get out of it, I did. I look back at those years- both the ones growing up enjoying Minecraft, and the one I felt was robbed from me- with a sense of happiness. Happiness that I got what I did. Those late nights enjoying myself with people thousands of miles away, and those days of laughing at lunch, and singing the national anthem on a cold and rainy football game. I got to live those days, but they're over. Now I have new endeavors, now I'm living a new life. Freshman me from 2020 and Minecraft me from before then are gone, those kids lived their life and have moved on. Now it's my turn to carry on what they started.

You got this Matt, I know how it feels man. I went through my college through the whole pandemic and now I’ve suddenly been thrust into the work force. It feels like it moves really fast and came out of nowhere, I can’t help but look back and see all the old memories I’ll never experience again. From playing with my friends on the play ground to playing games with my friends after school while our moms talked, and ultimately just that glow of not having to worry about bills, work, my purpose as a person. For me I took it very much the same way, just that loss of childhood and coming to terms with that. The adult world is scary and there are days that I question if I’m ready for it and if I’m cut out for it. Its hard, it’s really hard, but even though all of those warm happy memories can’t be relived, they still walk with me and remind me that I can still enjoy life and things aren’t as grey as they seem.

Despite being an athiest I completely understand those who are religious, such as Christians. I mean, it'd be harder to fear your death if you believe that there will be a heaven, or something waiting for you, where you can meet your loved ones. Honestly I both love, and hate the idea of immortality. Blessed with living forever, but cursed with having to see countless people die infront of you, and no way to stop it other than isolating yourself.

I love how they have an end where the Character regains clarity and then the screen cuts. It’s an actual thing that happens with dementia patients. Before they die sometimes they will become much more aware and remember. It’s like a last hooray in their life.

I feel like this impacted so many of us deeply because of our familiarity with Minecraft itself. We've all seen it in some form or another, and many have played it. It actually felt familiar, and so did the loss of familiarity. Amazing video

it didn't hit me until the end in the enderchest where i get the reference it being the ENDerchest putting his last items/memories inside. also seeing the flower in the enderchest really shot a tear out, coz it hit me so hard realizing how he forgot the person that gave him that, and the end with all 3 of them standing there hurt a lot. i don't know if dementia actually gives you all your memories back in your last minutes/seconds, but i loved this either way.

This Scene doesn't follow the rules of thermodynamics. Every time he walks to the house he goes up a set of stairs. After going back outside he ends up back on the same level thereby destroying the gravitational potential energy.

Something that gets me, as someone who works with people with dementia in various stages, is the searching. Often they're searching for something. They have an "unmet need" and want to find a solution, but they don't know how to express it. Dementia doesn't just take memory. It takes speech, comprehension, and even vision. People in advanced stages often wander, asking for loved ones who are long gone ("when is my husband going to be here?" "Do you know where my mother is?"). After working there for a while, you become familiar to them. They may believe you're their child, grandchild, sometimes even spouse or parent. Not because you resemble the lost loved one, but because you're *there* and you're comparatively permanent and, in some capacity, familiar. It's painful, having someone many many times your age call you "mama" but you just roll with it. You answer their questions to the best of your ability, maybe get them to talk about their experiences or join the group activity. But these are temporary measures. They pacify for a short time. But these things are in an attempt to make living through this -iving through the end of their lives - more comfortable.

[@renoahsprings]

It sounds like your patients a kid again. They forget what knowledge they have earned with the passing years so they cling to the thing they had by them in the past, with the inability to see that the ones they love are long gone. The fact that they can’t differentiate between different people besides the fact that you the caretaker are there for them the most is very sad.

It took me a while to realize a lot of things, how the dogs collar changed colors as he walked through the doors: that all the xp he got represented what level of dementia he was in, how scary it was to lose everything by… you, yourself, in a month or week. The thought of losing my memories haunt me, I never rlly thought a world where you could travel endlessly can tear me up, that all the time I spent with everyone could just become meaningless. I’m not really scared of death because… it will happen, but dementia? That something else, a prison of memories that doesn’t make sense, a world that is full of questions but no answers. I’ve been pretty fearless, but… It’s scary, trapped in a loop that won’t end no matter what. It’s very very scary, I can’t even find words for it, terrifying, a never ending nightmare… I can’t imagine what people with dementia feels and see. I’m just out of words… I can go on and on about how terrifying it is but we all know that. A sad image of a hospital that is black and white, even your name simply, a life so full just gone, missing. How the first level is like the memories of the “good ol days” and… level 6? Like… A infinite ocean with a dark mist around blocking your view with big waves… but one exit that is… somewhere I guess. It’s probably worst than that but that’s my guess… this video portrays dementia greatly, I thought I was going to be a meme or smth lol… but I was wrong, very wrong.

This reminds me of the many thousands of forgotten and abandoned Minecraft worlds out there that were either never finished, or left to die. To me, Minecraft itself is like a burning memory: a haven of freedom and creativity that everyone will eventually leave behind, but a memory nonetheless.

[@TL_27]

Very well put. I feel the same way. I kept some of the old worlds I had played with friends. Go back to houses and places, where we had made memories. Certain things can bring back those memories. So then these are things you must cherish. ;)

There's was one thing in particular that I have never forgotten about way back in the days of 1.5.2 I still remember him. First thing I ever did was being him into the world. He was my pet wolf. His name was Rusty He ventured with me everywhere. Every new update and biome/world build we got to explore, I always took Rusty with me. But unfortunately, I stopped playing after 1.9 since I began losing interest and good computers that could run it. I lost all of my saves I never saw Rusty again. And I miss him dearly
