A video game to cope with grief | Amy Green
When Amy Green’s young son was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, she made up a bedtime story for his siblings to teach them about cancer. What resulted was a video game, “That Dragon, Cancer,” which takes players on a journey they can’t win. In this beautiful talk about coping with loss, Green brings joy and play to tragedy. “We made a game that’s hard to play,” she says, “because the hardest moments of our lives change us more than any goal we could ever accomplish.”

Me, watching this anxious and wired on caffeine, shivering and bawling my eyes out.
My dad lost my older brother before I was born. He was three and it was leukemia. The cure for it exists nowadays. Playing this game was the closest thing I think I’ll get to being able to see what my dad was going through.
It really sounds like a beautiful story about something horrible. It reminds me about how I sometimes feel like God and the devil are in a 10 dimensional game of chess, and the balance of good and evil of the entire universe is on the line of this game. It reminds me of when God show the devil the 10th dimension, which is the knowledge of the past, present, and the future and the devil still makes the same mistakes knowing he will lose in the end but tries anyway. Its really quite sad. And yes I understand these are 2 different playing fields. With the fields being your game in the battle between good and evil but in its essence that's kind of sort of what this is, a game like you said. And sometimes all we can do is have a little hope and a little faith that we can get even something small that is positive in between.
While of course ifont have a child cause im inly 18…but my cancer experience was the opposite my mother had cancer from the time i was born to the time she died when i was 16 i never played the game but i watched people play it i cried throughout the whole game because i can understand what it means to be in a hospital with someone day in and day out watching my mother go through the pain crying some nights…and i could do nothing about it…….i felt a connection to joel even if i never met him i loved joel and i love my mother and miss both
That Dragon, Cancer brought me here. To all those who say that all video games are bad, play this one.
Beautiful
I saw a walkthrough of this game years ago and it has never left the back of my mind since. This game was amazing, the design and the story is just great. Posting a comment like this makes me feel free now that I remember the title of the game that never deserves to be forgotten.
This is very nice and beautiful game
Yes gampler, let get you arrested hacker
So this is a PR for thier game
dank
Actually I can't understand that she explained how to play the game so I can't play with it
Just curious,has this game actually been used by professors in philosophy classes or anything like that? That sounds really interesting to me.
8:30 she should play telltale games
Games like this make up for violent rubbish like CoD or Fallout.
This is the one game I hope there won't be a sequal.
I watched someone play it i had to stop watching because i was crying too much
she has no self control and binge eats..she has the mind of a drug addict poor girl
yeah or just alcohol and cocaine, works for me and millions of others
I went and watched the entirety of Markoplier's playthrough of the game after seeing this
"The moments that really change our lives, they often come as a result of our hardship, and not our glory". Wow, had to write that one down.
I found this story heart breaking. The mother wanted to share their experience thru a video game program. I looked up the app in the app store on my IPhone. It's $4.99. What's up with that? What is this money being used for?
I find this to be bullshit!
How beautiful. What a wonderful gift to those dealing with grief. My belief is that from every bad thing transpires something great. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
This is a beautiful way to express grief on a productive way
没字幕 更听不懂了 心塞 wow
I find something fundamentally very disturbing about this very sad situation. but that is probably down to my own personal psychology. if it helps somebody then it's a good thing
in India it is a paid game
if it is good then it should be free
Everyone who has played this game will know where she was and how she felt..
And some people will STILL say playing video games are a waste of time -_-
I mean c'mon people see how these devs poured their life in this
3/10
wouldn´t buy
Good job for making others feel your pain.
I started crying two minutes in and haven't stopped since.
This is such a beautiful story I am in TEARS.
Damn, and I thought Nioh was hard…
Too many feels! 🙁
