So sorry for you loss, Jake. Got me crying here too. She sounds absolutely incredible and you were both very lucky to have each other. I hope you, your family and everyone who loves her can find comfort somewhere along the way. Best wishes ❤
Same here, it makes you think about yourself and your own mother for a moment and the limited time you have with your parents, you got to make the most out of it. I hope Jake will feel better soon and that he can get some comfort from making these videos again, he deserves it! Personally I think his channels are the most fun to watch, they are fun ( often hilarious ) to watch, very informative and demonstrated in such unique ways with the utter most highest quality. I am very glad and super excited for Jakey to be back on RUclips, I can not wait for his new videos. Stay strong Jake! What you have achieved in life is absolutely on the top of this world and over it, your mother will be very proud on you and for all that still has to come. You are amazing!
Wow… this is the first video of yours I have watched and it touched me deeply. I have had a similar upbringing of a super supportive single mother who has encouraged me to follow me dreams, also in filmmaking… I’m lucky enough to still have my mother and your story made me realize how lucky I am for that. Best wishes on your path forward Jake, I appreciate your vulnerability
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother, we've all lost people to these sort of out of the blue things, but I'm glad to hear that you spent the most of her last few months together, because unfortunately not a lot of people get that chance, and I'm DEFINITELY sure WITHOUT A DOUBT she will be proud of any accomplishments from here on out
My mom said the same thing--the 'it's not goodbye, it's see you later'. You saved goodbyes to finality, the end of a friendship or the death of a pet. She committed suicide when I was in middle school. It still weighs heavily on me, even over a decade since. Losing a parent is a truly hard thing, whether it's cancer, self inflicted, an accident, or something else. I appreciate you sharing with us these sentiments, and I'm sorry you're experiencing one of the worst pains a person can feel
I'm here, crying with you Jake. Your mom was clearly an absolutely radiant soul, I love those little bits of love you used to send to each other. Thank you for sharing those bits with us as well, over the years, I always found them to be so uplifting and kind. Sending you lots of love 🤍
So accord on that, that ending has felt always like a hug from the distance, always uplifting and pretty darn awsome. Thank you Jake for sharing with us this. We love you.
I'm tearing up now. I know Jake's mom loved him and probably wants to see him continue to do the things he love's to do. This is one thing I love to think about my dad, I know if he were here today that he'd love me for not going down any dark paths in life. He had cancer. I wish modern science could cure these things... Jake we love you and hang in there bro, keep on being you :)
Jake, I lost my mom 4, almost 5 years ago now. I don't want to say I'm sorry, because at least to me, when dozens of well meaning acquaintances came out of the woodwork to do so, it felt strangely hollow. What I do want to say is your mother must have been truly amazing to raise you to become the man you are. Kind, sincere, honest, empathetic, driven, and enduring. The first time I met you was at a crosswalk in Vidcon 7 or 8 years ago. You were crossing the street facing away from me and I was in my car about to turn into the convention center and I saw you and was so excited that I shouted your name and said I loved your content. You probably had a million other things to do but you stopped. You turned around, lit up and told me to hold on and ran over to high five me and thank me before being back on your way. I will always remember you for that. Losing a parent you love is one of the hardest things we ever have to go through in life. But her light, the good she put out in the world, lives on inextinguishable in you and in who you are. Your community isn't here to rush you to heal, to ask you to make more content during a hard time. Please be kind to yourself as she would be to you. May her memory be a blessing to you and to those who had the honor to know her, always.
this is so well said :') now may not be the time, but im always bad at this. saying im sorry has always felt hallow to me too but i dont know what else to say. for you, what would have helped you more?
@@pvic6959 I always recommend something along the lines of "Hey, I know you're understandably not going to be in the best headspace for a while but I'm here for you and I'm going to periodically check in to see how you are/what you need. What foods would you like for dinner? I can make or order you something. I wouldn't want to cook right now either"
@@Saternalia that makes total sense! i would do basically that but i never thought of that as part of the "im sorry" but more part of being the support. thanks!
Well said. When My dad died I absolutely hated people saying “sorry for your loss”. Honestly wanted them to pretend life was normal for 5 minutes so I didn’t have to think about it and try to scrape the barest morsel of joy from my day before going back to feeling depressed and numb
Oh Jake, I can only think how incredibly proud of you your mum must have been to see you thriving and to see you return so much of her love into the world. I'm so very sorry for your loss and pain. While selfishly I can't wait to see what you have in store next both here and on Vsauce it should go without saying to take all the time you need to make that return to videos right for you. Everyone in this comment section supports you dude and are sending all our love
My mom died of cancer when I was 9 I remember after that happened and I started living with my dad I watched RUclips a lot more. Vsauce 3 was a big part of my life back then and I'll always appreciate the happiness you made me feel while learning interesting things. Thanks for that Jake
Mine died from cancer when I was 7. It's hard. I always loved Vsause and Jake's sickness touched me. I am very happy he recovered. I hope he has a long life to honor her and make the world even better than he already has.
Hey Jake, please accept our sincere condolences. We've been missing you, and we now know you weren't around for a reason. Stay strong, you are one of the lighthouses to many people in this world.
Damn Jake. Got me crying at the office. Your mother sounds like an incredible person and you were so lucky to have each other. My heart hurts for you and your family having lost her so quickly.
i used to watch vsauce so long ago, years ago, and all of you have been posting less and just now i was watching an old vsauce vid and i remember you mentioning you had cancer and it made me think, "I have no idea what happened to him." So I came to this channel, wondering, and fearing if you had died. Maybe that was why I hadn't seen any posts, but no, you lived. I am so sorry for your loss, i am shaking, with tears running down my face.
So sorry for you loss Jake. I met you several years back at YT Space NY and you were beaming with joy because of how much the Curiosity Box had raised for Alzheimer's research. It really resonated with me to see how genuinely happy that made you, and it's amazing to see how far it's come now. You definitely make her proud!
This caught me so off-guard. Jake, I am truly sorry for your loss. Never forget that you are loved and have so many people that support you. I wish you all the best! ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss Jake. You have gotten me through so much in life by teaching me a love for creating. I’m sorry Cancer has taken so much from you. Sending all my love and support. ❤️
I simply don't understand how one of the kindest, most thoughtful and genuinely sincere content creators I've ever seen on RUclips could be beset by such an unfair amount of tragedy in his life. We're all thinking of you man, and we're always glad to hear from you. Don't push yourself too hard, but don't ever give up either. You've been here for us, and we'll all be here for you.
You got me in tears Jake and that "It's never goodbye..." really got me. So sorry to hear about your mother she sounds like she was a great person. I know exactly how you were/are feeling. My dad suddenly passed away last December 3 days before Christmas. He didn't like doctors and maybe he knew something was wrong with him but he found it hard sharing his emotions and never told us if there was, and he refused to go to see any doctors, no matter how much we all tried to get him to go. Another thing that made me think he may have been unwell as on day out of the blue, he asked me to go on a 50 mile road trip with him and he would have rarely asked me that, even as a child if I asked him. A week after he took me on the road trip was when he died. That morning he seemed fine, like nothing was wrong, then suddenly that evening he passed. My mom and I were with him when it happened and one of the last things he said was that he had everything he wanted and he was happy, so I guess that is what most of us want when the time comes. Christmas will never be the same now. Then in May this year, one of my uncles, my dads brother died, and again that wasn't easy to deal with at first, but less so than when my dad died as I didn't know him as well as my other uncles and aunts but still sad. It will take time, but things will get better. Over the past year I have been doing my family genealogy on both of my parents families and I have been working on keeping the memory of my dad and his side of the family alive for future generations so they will know what my dad was like and all the things he did and who is family were.
My Wife was diagnosed with ALL(Leukemia). Given its general survival rates and my pure ignorance of it at the time, combined with the insane intensive regimen (hybrid pediatric protocol), I had learned that death typically comes in around the first 6ish months of treatment. This is due to induction therapy being absurdly strong combined with knowing if they killed the cancer or not, next course of action, infection, among other things. After a month she almost died due to a bad reaction with one of the Chemo's, she got to a point she could barely speak because her lungs were so weak, she couldn't walk. I was so concerned she'd die when I wasn't there that I spent over 2 months in the hospital by her side every day. I run a business, so this devastated us financially, but I couldn't fathom the thought of her going when I wasn't there. Anyways, though the cancer, and more, the chemo, took allot from her, and she's still recovering, thankfully, she is in remission, and has around 70% of her life back, and besides some tweaks to her regimen that put her at higher risk, she's basically in the best case scenario to ensure it never comes back, the cancer responded exponentially well to treatment, and she's almost a full year in remission now. I wish I had a way to conclude this message, but, all I can say is, cancer sucks. Hang in there guys.
Man, that was one of the most heartfelt things I've heard in my life... the way you and your mom would remind each other of love is so cute, it hurts to see something so amazing go away like that. I'm sure we're all glad to see you again, and we can't wait to see what's next in that thinktank of yours. See you later, Jake!
Man, I've been following you since the early v-sauce days and you've always been one of the most genuine guys on here with your passion. Really sorry to hear about your mum lad, I didn't realise it could take someone that quickly. My mum's been diagnosed with the same, 3 weeks in hospital from her first chemo as she's got piss all immunity. I should step up seeing her, every moment is precious. The trip back to NY will ease it - take it easy bud
Lost my mom this year as well. She was full of vim and vinegar until she wasn't. I got to hold her hand as she passed, and I'm always thankful for that closure, and also that she was still able to laugh that morning. What I'm left with are all our unfinished conversations, where one or the other of us needed time to think about something, or to look something up. Since she passed, I'd stumble on a bit of trivia in my feed, and realize it was the capstone to a conversation from months or years before. I go ahead and finish our chat, always thankful for her wit and wordplay.
Congratulations for the first part. And my deepest condolence for your heavy lost. Parents are monuments in our lives. Thanks for sharing your deeply personal and touching story.
So glad to see you again, Jake. To be honest, Vsause3 has long been my favourite. The quality of your work speaks for itself, and I dream one day of maybe, hopefully meeting such a level of creative prowess. Thank you for the beautiful work you’ve put into the world… and of course, my condolences for your loss. From the sounds of it, the world lost another angel, this year.
I love that story about your outro. That's such a tender thing. My sympathies, Jake. My dad is about to go in for some intense chemo to treat a bone marrow cancer, and it's really freaked us all out. Turns out the body doesn't appreciate having all its bone marrow destroyed, and the stem cell transplant procedure is about a coin toss as to whether it takes or not...so my heart really goes out ot you, man.
I live in New York, and I love your channels, I am struggling to find an affordable place to live, and living out of a hotel room, but I always make time to watch You and the whole VSauce crew! Thanks for helping to create an educational platform on youtube, that is interesting and fun to watch!
You got me in tears. Your mother must have been truly truly amazing and she must have been extremely happy knowing she has such an amazing son (or 2!). I wish you all the best.
My mom died of cancer this year too. It was her second time around with it and I knew something was up last fall but my mom didn’t. Didn’t want to. I was lucky enough to get one last good Christmas with her, our favorite holiday. We finally went to her oncologist in March and she passed away in May. She was the smartest, strongest, most accepting woman I’ve ever known. I miss her every day. I’m told it never goes away, not that you would want it to. But it has gotten a little easier and I hope it does for you too.
Im so sorry for your loss dude You have been my role model growing up and i been watching you since i was 8, you don’t need to run back you youtube instantly take as long as you need i think me and most of the community will be here to Support you
i am so sorry about your mother she was an incredible person and she will always be watching over you. when you started crying i literally lost it, i felt your pain and i started crying as well, the vsause team has been apart of my childhood for many years and you all are like family to me i hope you know we all love you and cant wait to see what the future has in store for you! thank you so much jake.
I just cried. Jake, I'm so sorry to hear that. May she rest in peace. I couldn't attend my grandparents' funerals because of my immigration problems in the states. This week my dad got a surgery, I couldn't be there. He's fine now, but I feel helpless, unable to visit loved ones, but can't even imagine how you must have felt. We love you Jake, hang in there
Dude you are such a huge inspiration! Thank you for telling us about your journey and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I have been developing my first indie game for 4 years now and my brother passed away during development. My father’s Parkinson's skyrocketed when that happened and my brother left a bunch of legal problems for us. Everything is better now. My parents are doing great, the game is about to launch, and the team has become like a family to me. Your mum rocks and you rock just like her. Sending you warm vibes from Mexico man. You’ll get through this!
I honestly did not come here expecting I'm going to cry my eyes out at the end. Been following vsauce since I was in high school (that was more than 8 years ago) and you guys are the best. So happy for the curiosity box. So sorry for your loss
Damn my eyes... That really hit me 😔 My Mum died from cancer last year too. She was diagnosed with stage 4, it spread from her breast, to her liver, to her spine and to her brain. It was too late to give radiation or chemo and she passed away 3 weeks and 6 days after diagnosis... I really feel for you mate, it's not easy to get through something like that but over time, it does get easier :) Always remember the stories she told you, the stories from her past, her own personal memories. Even though her memories are gone now, they still live in you and you can keep her memories alive by telling others. Take care Jake 🫂
Well this one fucking hurt. I have lung cancer and my mother has MS and we take care of each other… our shared worst fear is one of us will go first and leave the other all alone. I don’t even know what I’d do without my mom… I’ve been fighting my cancer for over 20 years since I was a baby and she has kept me alive and then I had my best friend Buster the basset hound who was by my side through 15 years of surgeries and suffering and he died last year… My mom is truly the only thing I have left. I really do understand how you feel. I’m glad that you have good memories to hold onto and hopefully a long healthy life ahead of you! I wish you the best and I’ll try to stop crying now and think of what I’ll say if I ever meet your mom on the other side. She seems like a cool lady to know… Thanks for sharing. A good cathartic cry can help sometimes. See ya later!
I lost my father three months ago. There's really nothing to say when something like this happens. Just gotta take time with yourself and allow yourself to feel. Sending you love Jake!
Jake, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad very suddenly. Not to cancer, but to a motorcycle accident. The abrupt and unexpected loss of a parent is terrible, and I'm truly sorry for your pain and loss. The best comfort is that I found after losing my dad is that families are forever. I know we'll see our loved ones again, and it doesn't matter what you believe or what religion you follow, Families can be together forever, and God will give us the opportunity to choose our family. May you be blessed with comfort and peace.
I've been watching Vsauce since I was 17, 9 long years, and you've been my favorite Vsauce. Looking back I now realized that you guys help setup the foundation of all the things I am interested in or love, like math, philosophy, psychology, gaming and cinema, and I picked up a few mannerisms from all of y'all. I guess your outros made an impression on me cause I almost don't end my conversations with goodbyes/byes either, always with a 'Love ya' 'See ya' 'Talk to ya later' etc. Now that I understand how significant 'See you later' means, I'm gonna fully adopt this
God I feel for you so much right now. My mom was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, did her treatment and finished treatment a few years ago with all tumors taken out. Unfortunately we discovered this month that her breast cancer had progressed and moved to her spine, lungs, and possibly her brain and was at stage 4. The devastation knowing that it was back and that all this time we had thought she would be fine and all of a sudden wasn’t hit my family like a brick in a way that I’m sure your family felt when you got the news of your mother’s prognosis. Luckily for me my mom is still doing okay, but the sad truth is there’s nothing we can do but keep it from getting worse. Cancer sucks and I’m so sorry you weren’t able to have your mother around a bit longer. It makes me grateful that I still have time left to spend with my mom. I wish you the best and am glad you at least can look back on all the good memories you’ve had together
I lost my Mom 15 years ago. The hole will never be filled again, but the pain will slowly cease. Thank you and your Mom for your amazing videos, please keep it up and keep entertaining and teaching us interesting things! Much love from Germany!
hey jake, you're pretty darn awesome too. this video hit me rather hard, thanks for making it. my mom is fighting the fight as well. i cherish every day i get to see her. some days it's hard to contain myself but, oh well, life must go on, and naturally it does. i'm sorry you had so little time with her from the moment everyone found out, i can't imagine the shock. thank you for always wearing your heart on your sleeve in this wild, wild internet. you are a force of good and an inspiration to us all! the love we have been given stays forever with us.
Trust me I know how much it sucks to lose a parent but like you said remember the good times. I am autistic and luckily I have a mom like you described yours as and if you ever want to chat I would love to help you. Especially if you need computer repair information.
Did you check the cable? The cable might be kinked or damaged. If it is not that when you boot up your system go to device manager and look for any video card adapter updates.
The story about "goodbye" and "see you later" happened with me and my grandma almost verbatim. I was maybe 7 at the time. 28 years later and I never say the word. Much love, Jake.
The sadness we feel in the loss of someone, is a reflection of the love and joy they brought us over the years. She enjoyed everything you were, who you became and who you are now. Your life has changed a lot in the last year, it takes strong and humble person to admit that. It takes an even stronger person to share that. Thank you. You remind us all to show that extra love to our parents and those who truly love us. You sir, are inspirational
It's a rare thing to be able to share something so real and personal and real. To feel like you connected with someone and have genuine empathy for someone like you know then is touching. I'm sure all your followers feel for you and wish you the best. Glad to hear the good news and sorry to hear the bad. Take care
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Jake. I'd like to thank you for reminding me about how life can take a turn in the split of a second. I hope you and your family are okay ❤️ See you next video, you lovely gentleman.
Hey Jake, I'm so sorry for your loss! Doesn't mean much coming from random strangers but your mum sounds like an amazing lady. And you're amazing, the passion you have for the work you do and the people you inspire. Thanks for sharing. Stay strong.
I’m glad you’re coming along in dealing with the loss of your mother. Know that she is with you always and she would be so proud of how far you’ve come
I'm so sorry for your loss man. I can relate to how hard it is to miss someone so important to us to something we just discovered, as it was what happened to me when I was a kid with my grandfather. He was literally my best friend and my reference to pretty much everything, and when he got sick I really didn't know about it being cancer or anything, all I knew was "grandpa was sick but getting better". This was maybe July 2007 or somthing, I only really discovered about it being cancer maybe in December 2007, and he still looked "mostly fine" on the outside, everyone was hopeful with treatment, we spent the holidays with him and spent the new years on the hospital as he wasn't feeling very well. He got admitted a bit later and the last time I saw him was maybe on January 4th or 5th, I recall the hospital crew made an exception to allow me and my sister to visit his room and man it was rough. He was asleep, we could hear his breathing, but deep inside we could feel his soul wasn't there anymore. He passed on the 9th and I can't even express how I felt back then. I wish cancer didn't exist anymore, that it was something we could easily fix or prevent, so that nobody else would have to go through it or see their family going through it. Sending lots of good vibes to you, Jake!
Very sorry about your dear mom! My condolences to you. Going through the shock of a cancer diagnosis in my family now. It doesn't seem real and the news keeps getting worse..
I always loved you outros,i remember thinking that it is really unique,i never thought it would all connect to your mom,i was able to held my tears until you said that...May her memories be a blessing! ❤️
Jake, I hope you know that the time you and your brother put in before your mom passed is an absolute blessing to have. It meant the world to her, and as you know now and will continue to be reminded of for as long as you live, it will mean so much to you as well. So many relationships with family get muddled because life is hard and people make mistakes, and sometimes people can't be forgiven. But you were there for her, which is exactly what anyone in the world would wish for in her position. You're an amazing role model for sons who love their moms everywhere.
The end of this video really touched me in a way I didn't expect, my mom also went through cancer, tongue cancer. Did you know that was a thing? Me either. Thankfully she made it through but she very easily might not have. And I guess I never really processed that until now. So that really hit home for me, and I'm very sorry for your loss Jake, it sounds like your mom was quite a gal and she always will be my friend
I just lost my grandmother this passed June. I try to convince myself that everything is ok but It’s hard and it’s even harder to not have that final good bye. My heart goes out to you Jake.
Jake, I missed this when it came out but I love this video and I love your soul and I love your spirit. Long live. And so much love to your mom and your family.
My heart dropped when I heard about your mother. I'm so sorry to hear about all that hun. But I am sure she is very proud of you and watching you even now. She will still keep on watching you throughout everything you do. She just gets to see the videos before everyone else now cause she can watch them while your editing them with you.
Don’t ever be sorry for your grief. Your mom sounds like she was a wonderful person and that she was proud of you. You have touched more lives than you will ever know and have brightened millions with your content. My heart goes out to you. I lost my dad recently too, it was so sudden and I just remember feeling so utterly lost and empty (sometimes I still do, almost three years later). You don’t have to apologize for your sorrow. You just lost a huge chunk of your heart and to share that with the world and to come back to face your fans is such a huge and brave step. We love you. Don’t forget that. My dad had a very similar outro, but he liked to joke around a lot, so his was ‘Smell ya later’ lol.
So sorry for your loss, she was an amazing lady, and mother to you, take all the time you need to grieve, she'll always be close to you, the pain really never goes away, (yes speaking from experience I've lost both my parents) but it does get easier to handle. We believe in you too, in all your dreams hopes, and aspirations. On a side note congrats on selling your business and shooting it upwards to what you always seen where it belongs.
Jake, I'm so sorry. I know what you're going through. My mother died of stage four lung cancer on July 26th this year; it was her 62nd birthday. She'd never smoked, so it was an awful surprise for everyone. When she was diagnosed in the summer of 2019, we were hopeful; her cancer stagnated and even shrank slightly at one point, but a year later, she declined again. She went from walking and talking to wheeling around in a wheelchair with an oxygen concentrator. We should've realized her condition wasn't going to improve when the portable concentrator wasn't enough to keep her oxygen saturation above 90%. In her last month, she required two home oxygen concentrators, both at full tilt (around 10 liters of oxygen per minute each). In her last two weeks, she couldn't get out of bed. In her last few days, she couldn't sit up. In her final hours, she didn't have the energy to speak or open her eyes as she slowly drowned in her bed. It's a horrible thing that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. Our loved ones deteriorate before our eyes, and we're left with regret when they're gone. I hope you can maintain a positive outlook through this tribulation as I endeavor to do the same. - Dylan
I've been watching your videos since your channel started. You've grown so much over the years. So very sorry for your mom, but by god she's gotta be proud of you. You're just doing so well and it's fantastic seeing your face again. Keep hanging in there, Jake. We're all here supporting you every step of the way.
I have no words that could be enough. I'm so happy for you and heartbroken for you at the same time. We've missed your content, and I'm onboard for whatever comes next.
My father was in and out of the hospital with his cancer. He had been in remission and had been discharged. After a couple of years he went back, and started getting worse. Eventually he got better and was discharged again, awaiting another appointment. I got a call in mid-afternoon on Friday from my brother that he wasn't doing well and I should make an effort to come down to visit. I told him I'd be coming down that day but as I lived 5 hours away, he said no one would be awake to let me in when I arrived around 11p-12a. He passed overnight at 3am..... It's one of the biggest things I hate my brother for, and I can never forgive him for.
My dad died in pretty much the exact same way, starting with vision issues, brain tumour, body riddled with cancer. This is the first time in my life I feel grateful for getting more time with my dad before he passed. Now I’m sitting here bawling my eyes out while my toddler eats her dinner.
I’m very sorry for your loss, Jake. I lost my mother to lung cancer in October 2020. It was very sudden just like with your mother. It’s very painful to lose someone so close to you but please try to take it easy, Jake. Your mother’s love for you will be with you for the rest of your life.
My condolences Jake. I can't even imagine how you could be feeling but I do hope that you are able to get through this tough situation sooner than later. Have a wonderful rest of your day, week, month.
Truly touching and so sad to hear of your loss. My Mum passed away from stage 4 lung cancer last week and I’m still coming to terms with it. Thank you for sharing your story.
Regardless of everything and anything, you're still doing incredible and we're all proud of you. The ups and downs are what shape us and how we travel that rollercoaster, is what give us the insight and how to take on things in the future. I speak for all of us when I say that we're looking forward to everything you're going to create. Lastly, so sorry about your mom. Cherish the time and special moments you guys had together and celebrate the hell out of her. It's not goodbye.... No! It's never goodbye. It's see ya later!
Very sorry to hear about your mom Jake. She sounds like a real fighter and great woman. Congrats on all of the good news. This video was definitely emotional. She'd be proud
After some months in the lockdown, when the cases were exponentially risung, their was fear everywhere, I was preparing for the entrance exams at that time and got slipped into depression, at that time @jakerawr your videos were an escape for me and I am greatful I got across your channel instead of wasting my time on some meaningless thing, the knowledge I got from that escape was unmatchable with any series or show ever existed! When I finished your videos approx. In 6 months, I felt a void in me, an urge to acquire some knowledge, but the urge was to learn it from you, when you shared you RUclips exit, it kinda hurt and my quest for knowledge sort of dried out for sometime, then I kinda fell properly depression, but now hearing again from this you I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN AND TO LEARN FROM YOU AGAIN!
It's so hard to feel excited and sympathetic at the same time for someone. I can't wait to see what great things are in store from your productions, but I'm so sorry to hear what happened. I lost my mother just over a year ago from cancer as well. In my mind cancer never wins, because we know that the person's willingness to fight never goes away. So while the body may not have enough left to fight, the soul was never beaten. All the best to your future!
Congratulations on your big sale! 🥳. I’m happy that you were able to relieve your stress about maintaining the Curiosity Box and and Vsauce 3. I’m excited to see your future adventures in New York. I’m sorry to hear about your mothers passing. I give my greatest condolences. If there is anyway a long-standing fan can assist with, all 305 thousand fans are with you! See ya later! (You’re the most awesome!)
Agh jake this had me tearing up a tad, so sorry about your sudden and difficult loss. You’ve always brought such positivity and spark to everything you do and have always been my favourite personality on this platform and any online thing for that matter, keep up the good stuff, keep bringing her spark to your and our lives, we all love ya x
My mom died of stage 4 lung cancer too. I cried when you did. My mom was amazing too, most moms are. My dearest condolence Jake, she will never be gone as long as you keep the good stories up.
My friends mom had a severe heart attack about three years ago. She was perfectly fine, living life, meeting friends, helping out in the community, and so on, then this happened seemingly out of nowhere. It’s incredibly sad that this can just happen to any and everyone, and I’m so sorry it happened to you. Your mom sounds like an incredible person and I’m sure she’ll be remembered as such!
Jake, I'm sorry that you had to go through that. My sister died unexpectedly from a pulmonary embolism. It's never an easy thing to get through, but I want to thank you for sharing your story.
Your content and channel have been my favorite since I started frequenting youtube. Last June I lost my mother in a very similar way. I, and many others know what you had to go through. You have my utmost sympathies and condolences.
I'm crying and thankful for you sharing about where you are in your life. I just lost my mom as well to cancer that took over all of her body and it was just hard. Thankful for every moment that I had with her. Stay safe. And I'm so glad your back
This video hit me hard. I lost my mum in March, she was battling kidney failure for a decade, however it was COVID that took her. One day I was dropping off clothes at the hospital, expecting to see her in a week or so, the next she was gone. Nothing can prepare us for a loss like that, or for the grief that will stay with us. My mum was my best friend, and for a long time the only reason I stayed alive. I never know what to say when people say they're sorry for my loss, so I'll refrain from saying that, I'll just remind you (As I'm sure you'll always know) your mum was and would still be very proud of what you've achieved and the person you are. We don't know eachother, but feel free to reach out any time. I've found talking to someone who has gone from the same situation has helped me a lot over the last few months.
i know i'm just a person on the internet but i'm really sorry for your loss. the relationship with your mom is so amazing, and the fact that it stays with you until your own end. and the fact that i, basically a rando, can share a tiny fraction of your pain is kinda amazing if you think of it. humanity, man... i'm really happy your career goes on changing and challenging you. good luck :)
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Jake. Sending love to you and your family. I lost my dad last year to cancer. He was living abroad and I couldn't afford to go out to visit him. Watching him deteriorate with each video call was crushing. He started to lose his ability to form coherent sentences but before that we had some great conversations about movies and all the weird things happening at the time and putting the world to rights. He really fought and fought but sometimes cancer just doesn't care how hard you want to fight back. When it came to his funeral I and my family had to watch it over messenger call. It was a weird experience for us all and I never really got the closure ii felt I needed. I was lucky enough to get his remains ( a few days before the anniversary of his death ) and my brothers and I scattered him together in one of his favourite destinations. I still don't feel the closure I seek but I do feel like I've managed to find some peace with it. I don't know what stage of grieving you are in but I hope that you find the peace you are looking for and keep your mother close to your heart. She sounds like a wonderful person and you were both really fortunate to have each others support.
Hellooooooo! I've missed you.
Missed you too!!!! Your awesome
Hi, Jake.
He's back!
Missed you
Damn, about time glad you're back! You look marvelous, keep being awesome.
🙏🏻😢 Hang in there Jake!
@@Pssst.ByTheWay what??
@@lovestruckparadiso3466 the comment i commted on is now deleted. It said” head up man, she is strong, shell be back to health in no time”
Ill be removing mine too

he sold out
He got 12 million, like bruhho he doesn't need to do anything if he wanted to.
So sorry for you loss, Jake. Got me crying here too. She sounds absolutely incredible and you were both very lucky to have each other. I hope you, your family and everyone who loves her can find comfort somewhere along the way. Best wishes ❤
;(
I WANNA HUG THIS DUDE SO MUCH... I CRIED TOO... A LOT.
Same here, it makes you think about yourself and your own mother for a moment and the limited time you have with your parents, you got to make the most out of it. I hope Jake will feel better soon and that he can get some comfort from making these videos again, he deserves it! Personally I think his channels are the most fun to watch, they are fun ( often hilarious ) to watch, very informative and demonstrated in such unique ways with the utter most highest quality. I am very glad and super excited for Jakey to be back on RUclips, I can not wait for his new videos.
Stay strong Jake! What you have achieved in life is absolutely on the top of this world and over it, your mother will be very proud on you and for all that still has to come. You are amazing!
Wow… this is the first video of yours I have watched and it touched me deeply. I have had a similar upbringing of a super supportive single mother who has encouraged me to follow me dreams, also in filmmaking… I’m lucky enough to still have my mother and your story made me realize how lucky I am for that. Best wishes on your path forward Jake, I appreciate your vulnerability
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother, we've all lost people to these sort of out of the blue things, but I'm glad to hear that you spent the most of her last few months together, because unfortunately not a lot of people get that chance, and I'm DEFINITELY sure WITHOUT A DOUBT she will be proud of any accomplishments from here on out
My mom said the same thing--the 'it's not goodbye, it's see you later'. You saved goodbyes to finality, the end of a friendship or the death of a pet.
She committed suicide when I was in middle school. It still weighs heavily on me, even over a decade since. Losing a parent is a truly hard thing, whether it's cancer, self inflicted, an accident, or something else. I appreciate you sharing with us these sentiments, and I'm sorry you're experiencing one of the worst pains a person can feel
Sorry to hear about that. I hope you're okay
@@arbitarious it's been over a decade now, but every now and then it weighs on me. Thank you for the kind thoughts
I'm here, crying with you Jake. Your mom was clearly an absolutely radiant soul, I love those little bits of love you used to send to each other. Thank you for sharing those bits with us as well, over the years, I always found them to be so uplifting and kind. Sending you lots of love 🤍
I teared up too :(
So accord on that, that ending has felt always like a hug from the distance, always uplifting and pretty darn awsome. Thank you Jake for sharing with us this. We love you.
Couldn't have said it better myself
I'm tearing up now. I know Jake's mom loved him and probably wants to see him continue to do the things he love's to do. This is one thing I love to think about my dad, I know if he were here today that he'd love me for not going down any dark paths in life. He had cancer. I wish modern science could cure these things...
Jake we love you and hang in there bro, keep on being you :)
You’re mom seemed like a wonderful human being, and she raised an amazingly talented son. So sorry for your loss.
Jake, I lost my mom 4, almost 5 years ago now. I don't want to say I'm sorry, because at least to me, when dozens of well meaning acquaintances came out of the woodwork to do so, it felt strangely hollow.
What I do want to say is your mother must have been truly amazing to raise you to become the man you are. Kind, sincere, honest, empathetic, driven, and enduring. The first time I met you was at a crosswalk in Vidcon 7 or 8 years ago. You were crossing the street facing away from me and I was in my car about to turn into the convention center and I saw you and was so excited that I shouted your name and said I loved your content. You probably had a million other things to do but you stopped. You turned around, lit up and told me to hold on and ran over to high five me and thank me before being back on your way. I will always remember you for that.
Losing a parent you love is one of the hardest things we ever have to go through in life. But her light, the good she put out in the world, lives on inextinguishable in you and in who you are. Your community isn't here to rush you to heal, to ask you to make more content during a hard time. Please be kind to yourself as she would be to you.
May her memory be a blessing to you and to those who had the honor to know her, always.
Damn, Stephen. :')
this is so well said :')
now may not be the time, but im always bad at this. saying im sorry has always felt hallow to me too but i dont know what else to say. for you, what would have helped you more?
@@pvic6959 I always recommend something along the lines of "Hey, I know you're understandably not going to be in the best headspace for a while but I'm here for you and I'm going to periodically check in to see how you are/what you need. What foods would you like for dinner? I can make or order you something. I wouldn't want to cook right now either"
@@Saternalia that makes total sense! i would do basically that but i never thought of that as part of the "im sorry" but more part of being the support. thanks!
Well said. When My dad died I absolutely hated people saying “sorry for your loss”. Honestly wanted them to pretend life was normal for 5 minutes so I didn’t have to think about it and try to scrape the barest morsel of joy from my day before going back to feeling depressed and numb
Oh Jake, I can only think how incredibly proud of you your mum must have been to see you thriving and to see you return so much of her love into the world. I'm so very sorry for your loss and pain. While selfishly I can't wait to see what you have in store next both here and on Vsauce it should go without saying to take all the time you need to make that return to videos right for you. Everyone in this comment section supports you dude and are sending all our love
My mom died of cancer when I was 9 I remember after that happened and I started living with my dad I watched RUclips a lot more. Vsauce 3 was a big part of my life back then and I'll always appreciate the happiness you made me feel while learning interesting things. Thanks for that Jake
Mine died from cancer when I was 7. It's hard. I always loved Vsause and Jake's sickness touched me. I am very happy he recovered. I hope he has a long life to honor her and make the world even better than he already has.
Hey Jake, please accept our sincere condolences. We've been missing you, and we now know you weren't around for a reason. Stay strong, you are one of the lighthouses to many people in this world.
Damn Jake. Got me crying at the office. Your mother sounds like an incredible person and you were so lucky to have each other. My heart hurts for you and your family having lost her so quickly.
i used to watch vsauce so long ago, years ago, and all of you have been posting less and just now i was watching an old vsauce vid and i remember you mentioning you had cancer and it made me think, "I have no idea what happened to him." So I came to this channel, wondering, and fearing if you had died. Maybe that was why I hadn't seen any posts, but no, you lived. I am so sorry for your loss, i am shaking, with tears running down my face.
So sorry for you loss Jake. I met you several years back at YT Space NY and you were beaming with joy because of how much the Curiosity Box had raised for Alzheimer's research. It really resonated with me to see how genuinely happy that made you, and it's amazing to see how far it's come now. You definitely make her proud!
This caught me so off-guard.
Jake, I am truly sorry for your loss. Never forget that you are loved and have so many people that support you.
I wish you all the best! ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss Jake. You have gotten me through so much in life by teaching me a love for creating. I’m sorry Cancer has taken so much from you. Sending all my love and support. ❤️
I simply don't understand how one of the kindest, most thoughtful and genuinely sincere content creators I've ever seen on RUclips could be beset by such an unfair amount of tragedy in his life. We're all thinking of you man, and we're always glad to hear from you. Don't push yourself too hard, but don't ever give up either. You've been here for us, and we'll all be here for you.
You got me in tears Jake and that "It's never goodbye..." really got me. So sorry to hear about your mother she sounds like she was a great person. I know exactly how you were/are feeling. My dad suddenly passed away last December 3 days before Christmas. He didn't like doctors and maybe he knew something was wrong with him but he found it hard sharing his emotions and never told us if there was, and he refused to go to see any doctors, no matter how much we all tried to get him to go. Another thing that made me think he may have been unwell as on day out of the blue, he asked me to go on a 50 mile road trip with him and he would have rarely asked me that, even as a child if I asked him.
A week after he took me on the road trip was when he died. That morning he seemed fine, like nothing was wrong, then suddenly that evening he passed. My mom and I were with him when it happened and one of the last things he said was that he had everything he wanted and he was happy, so I guess that is what most of us want when the time comes. Christmas will never be the same now.
Then in May this year, one of my uncles, my dads brother died, and again that wasn't easy to deal with at first, but less so than when my dad died as I didn't know him as well as my other uncles and aunts but still sad. It will take time, but things will get better. Over the past year I have been doing my family genealogy on both of my parents families and I have been working on keeping the memory of my dad and his side of the family alive for future generations so they will know what my dad was like and all the things he did and who is family were.
My Wife was diagnosed with ALL(Leukemia).
Given its general survival rates and my pure ignorance of it at the time, combined with the insane intensive regimen (hybrid pediatric protocol), I had learned that death typically comes in around the first 6ish months of treatment.
This is due to induction therapy being absurdly strong combined with knowing if they killed the cancer or not, next course of action, infection, among other things.
After a month she almost died due to a bad reaction with one of the Chemo's, she got to a point she could barely speak because her lungs were so weak, she couldn't walk.
I was so concerned she'd die when I wasn't there that I spent over 2 months in the hospital by her side every day.
I run a business, so this devastated us financially, but I couldn't fathom the thought of her going when I wasn't there.
Anyways, though the cancer, and more, the chemo, took allot from her, and she's still recovering, thankfully, she is in remission, and has around 70% of her life back, and besides some tweaks to her regimen that put her at higher risk, she's basically in the best case scenario to ensure it never comes back, the cancer responded exponentially well to treatment, and she's almost a full year in remission now.
I wish I had a way to conclude this message, but, all I can say is, cancer sucks.
Hang in there guys.
im coming up on a year since losing my mom to cancer. sorry for your loss friend, i know how tough it is
Man, that was one of the most heartfelt things I've heard in my life... the way you and your mom would remind each other of love is so cute, it hurts to see something so amazing go away like that. I'm sure we're all glad to see you again, and we can't wait to see what's next in that thinktank of yours. See you later, Jake!
I'm so sorry for your loss. This hit me way harder than I thought it would. She sounds like she was an amazing woman.
Man, I've been following you since the early v-sauce days and you've always been one of the most genuine guys on here with your passion. Really sorry to hear about your mum lad, I didn't realise it could take someone that quickly. My mum's been diagnosed with the same, 3 weeks in hospital from her first chemo as she's got piss all immunity. I should step up seeing her, every moment is precious. The trip back to NY will ease it - take it easy bud
My condolences Jake, this was so touching to hear and I honestly can only imagine how great she must’ve been. Lots of love ❤️
Dude, I was terrified that you sold Vsauce3. But god, I’m so sorry to hear about your mom.
He doesn’t own vsauce3. Michael does.
@@chedisLoL michael owns us alll, and im ok with that :p
Lost my mom this year as well. She was full of vim and vinegar until she wasn't. I got to hold her hand as she passed, and I'm always thankful for that closure, and also that she was still able to laugh that morning. What I'm left with are all our unfinished conversations, where one or the other of us needed time to think about something, or to look something up. Since she passed, I'd stumble on a bit of trivia in my feed, and realize it was the capstone to a conversation from months or years before. I go ahead and finish our chat, always thankful for her wit and wordplay.
I am sorry for your loss Jake. Your mother sounds like she was an incredible person, thank you for telling us about her.
Congratulations for the first part.
And my deepest condolence for your heavy lost. Parents are monuments in our lives.
Thanks for sharing your deeply personal and touching story.
So glad to see you again, Jake. To be honest, Vsause3 has long been my favourite. The quality of your work speaks for itself, and I dream one day of maybe, hopefully meeting such a level of creative prowess. Thank you for the beautiful work you’ve put into the world… and of course, my condolences for your loss. From the sounds of it, the world lost another angel, this year.
I love that story about your outro. That's such a tender thing. My sympathies, Jake. My dad is about to go in for some intense chemo to treat a bone marrow cancer, and it's really freaked us all out. Turns out the body doesn't appreciate having all its bone marrow destroyed, and the stem cell transplant procedure is about a coin toss as to whether it takes or not...so my heart really goes out ot you, man.
I'm so sorry for your loss King, I hope you get through it and I'm sending all the love I can. Love your content ❤
I live in New York, and I love your channels, I am struggling to find an affordable place to live, and living out of a hotel room, but I always make time to watch You and the whole VSauce crew! Thanks for helping to create an educational platform on youtube, that is interesting and fun to watch!
You got me in tears.
Your mother must have been truly truly amazing and she must have been extremely happy knowing she has such an amazing son (or 2!).
I wish you all the best.
My mom died of cancer this year too. It was her second time around with it and I knew something was up last fall but my mom didn’t. Didn’t want to. I was lucky enough to get one last good Christmas with her, our favorite holiday. We finally went to her oncologist in March and she passed away in May. She was the smartest, strongest, most accepting woman I’ve ever known. I miss her every day. I’m told it never goes away, not that you would want it to. But it has gotten a little easier and I hope it does for you too.
Im so sorry for your loss dude
You have been my role model growing up and i been watching you since i was 8, you don’t need to run back you youtube instantly take as long as you need i think me and most of the community will be here to Support you
i am so sorry about your mother she was an incredible person and she will always be watching over you. when you started crying i literally lost it, i felt your pain and i started crying as well, the vsause team has been apart of my childhood for many years and you all are like family to me i hope you know we all love you and cant wait to see what the future has in store for you! thank you so much jake.
"If you're willing to listen" of course I am. I'm always willing.
I just cried. Jake, I'm so sorry to hear that. May she rest in peace.
I couldn't attend my grandparents' funerals because of my immigration problems in the states. This week my dad got a surgery, I couldn't be there. He's fine now, but I feel helpless, unable to visit loved ones, but can't even imagine how you must have felt.
We love you Jake, hang in there
Dude you are such a huge inspiration!
Thank you for telling us about your journey and allowing yourself to be vulnerable.
I have been developing my first indie game for 4 years now and my brother passed away during development.
My father’s Parkinson's skyrocketed when that happened and my brother left a bunch of legal problems for us.
Everything is better now. My parents are doing great, the game is about to launch, and the team has become like a family to me.
Your mum rocks and you rock just like her. Sending you warm vibes from Mexico man. You’ll get through this!
I honestly did not come here expecting I'm going to cry my eyes out at the end. Been following vsauce since I was in high school (that was more than 8 years ago) and you guys are the best. So happy for the curiosity box. So sorry for your loss
Damn my eyes... That really hit me 😔 My Mum died from cancer last year too. She was diagnosed with stage 4, it spread from her breast, to her liver, to her spine and to her brain. It was too late to give radiation or chemo and she passed away 3 weeks and 6 days after diagnosis... I really feel for you mate, it's not easy to get through something like that but over time, it does get easier :) Always remember the stories she told you, the stories from her past, her own personal memories. Even though her memories are gone now, they still live in you and you can keep her memories alive by telling others. Take care Jake 🫂
Oh man jake, i am so sorry for your loss... i feel with you. It feels good seeing you back doing videos and awesome content.
Thanks Jake, for the bad news section. The reminder about how quickly things can change… and to cherish those around you. Thank you.
Well this one fucking hurt.
I have lung cancer and my mother has MS and we take care of each other… our shared worst fear is one of us will go first and leave the other all alone.
I don’t even know what I’d do without my mom…
I’ve been fighting my cancer for over 20 years since I was a baby and she has kept me alive and then I had my best friend Buster the basset hound who was by my side through 15 years of surgeries and suffering and he died last year…
My mom is truly the only thing I have left.
I really do understand how you feel.
I’m glad that you have good memories to hold onto and hopefully a long healthy life ahead of you! I wish you the best and I’ll try to stop crying now and think of what I’ll say if I ever meet your mom on the other side. She seems like a cool lady to know…
Thanks for sharing.
A good cathartic cry can help sometimes.
See ya later!
I lost my father three months ago. There's really nothing to say when something like this happens. Just gotta take time with yourself and allow yourself to feel. Sending you love Jake!
Jake, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad very suddenly. Not to cancer, but to a motorcycle accident. The abrupt and unexpected loss of a parent is terrible, and I'm truly sorry for your pain and loss. The best comfort is that I found after losing my dad is that families are forever. I know we'll see our loved ones again, and it doesn't matter what you believe or what religion you follow, Families can be together forever, and God will give us the opportunity to choose our family. May you be blessed with comfort and peace.
I've been watching Vsauce since I was 17, 9 long years, and you've been my favorite Vsauce. Looking back I now realized that you guys help setup the foundation of all the things I am interested in or love, like math, philosophy, psychology, gaming and cinema, and I picked up a few mannerisms from all of y'all. I guess your outros made an impression on me cause I almost don't end my conversations with goodbyes/byes either, always with a 'Love ya' 'See ya' 'Talk to ya later' etc. Now that I understand how significant 'See you later' means, I'm gonna fully adopt this
God I feel for you so much right now.
My mom was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, did her treatment and finished treatment a few years ago with all tumors taken out.
Unfortunately we discovered this month that her breast cancer had progressed and moved to her spine, lungs, and possibly her brain and was at stage 4. The devastation knowing that it was back and that all this time we had thought she would be fine and all of a sudden wasn’t hit my family like a brick in a way that I’m sure your family felt when you got the news of your mother’s prognosis. Luckily for me my mom is still doing okay, but the sad truth is there’s nothing we can do but keep it from getting worse. Cancer sucks and I’m so sorry you weren’t able to have your mother around a bit longer. It makes me grateful that I still have time left to spend with my mom. I wish you the best and am glad you at least can look back on all the good memories you’ve had together
I lost my Mom 15 years ago. The hole will never be filled again, but the pain will slowly cease. Thank you and your Mom for your amazing videos, please keep it up and keep entertaining and teaching us interesting things! Much love from Germany!
hey jake, you're pretty darn awesome too. this video hit me rather hard, thanks for making it. my mom is fighting the fight as well. i cherish every day i get to see her. some days it's hard to contain myself but, oh well, life must go on, and naturally it does. i'm sorry you had so little time with her from the moment everyone found out, i can't imagine the shock. thank you for always wearing your heart on your sleeve in this wild, wild internet. you are a force of good and an inspiration to us all!
the love we have been given stays forever with us.
Trust me I know how much it sucks to lose a parent but like you said remember the good times. I am autistic and luckily I have a mom like you described yours as and if you ever want to chat I would love to help you. Especially if you need computer repair information.
What do I do if my monitor takes 12 minutes to take on after I press the button?
Did you check the cable? The cable might be kinked or damaged. If it is not that when you boot up your system go to device manager and look for any video card adapter updates.
@@gownerjones check your cable it might be kinked or damaged. If not go to device manager and check for video card updates.
@@theofficialgamerguy94 Hey, the cable is not damaged. I've tried a few different cables, too. And my video drivers are up to date. Any other ideas?
@@gownerjones I would take it to someone you know and have them check it out to see what is up.
The story about "goodbye" and "see you later" happened with me and my grandma almost verbatim. I was maybe 7 at the time. 28 years later and I never say the word. Much love, Jake.
The sadness we feel in the loss of someone, is a reflection of the love and joy they brought us over the years. She enjoyed everything you were, who you became and who you are now. Your life has changed a lot in the last year, it takes strong and humble person to admit that. It takes an even stronger person to share that. Thank you. You remind us all to show that extra love to our parents and those who truly love us. You sir, are inspirational
It's a rare thing to be able to share something so real and personal and real. To feel like you connected with someone and have genuine empathy for someone like you know then is touching. I'm sure all your followers feel for you and wish you the best. Glad to hear the good news and sorry to hear the bad. Take care
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Jake. I'd like to thank you for reminding me about how life can take a turn in the split of a second. I hope you and your family are okay ❤️ See you next video, you lovely gentleman.
Hey Jake, I'm so sorry for your loss! Doesn't mean much coming from random strangers but your mum sounds like an amazing lady. And you're amazing, the passion you have for the work you do and the people you inspire. Thanks for sharing. Stay strong.
I’m glad you’re coming along in dealing with the loss of your mother. Know that she is with you always and she would be so proud of how far you’ve come
I'm so sorry for your loss man. I can relate to how hard it is to miss someone so important to us to something we just discovered, as it was what happened to me when I was a kid with my grandfather. He was literally my best friend and my reference to pretty much everything, and when he got sick I really didn't know about it being cancer or anything, all I knew was "grandpa was sick but getting better". This was maybe July 2007 or somthing, I only really discovered about it being cancer maybe in December 2007, and he still looked "mostly fine" on the outside, everyone was hopeful with treatment, we spent the holidays with him and spent the new years on the hospital as he wasn't feeling very well. He got admitted a bit later and the last time I saw him was maybe on January 4th or 5th, I recall the hospital crew made an exception to allow me and my sister to visit his room and man it was rough. He was asleep, we could hear his breathing, but deep inside we could feel his soul wasn't there anymore. He passed on the 9th and I can't even express how I felt back then. I wish cancer didn't exist anymore, that it was something we could easily fix or prevent, so that nobody else would have to go through it or see their family going through it. Sending lots of good vibes to you, Jake!
Very sorry about your dear mom! My condolences to you. Going through the shock of a cancer diagnosis in my family now. It doesn't seem real and the news keeps getting worse..
I'm sure your Mom was an amazing person. Please accept my sincere condolences.
I always loved you outros,i remember thinking that it is really unique,i never thought it would all connect to your mom,i was able to held my tears until you said that...May her memories be a blessing! ❤️
Jake, I hope you know that the time you and your brother put in before your mom passed is an absolute blessing to have. It meant the world to her, and as you know now and will continue to be reminded of for as long as you live, it will mean so much to you as well. So many relationships with family get muddled because life is hard and people make mistakes, and sometimes people can't be forgiven. But you were there for her, which is exactly what anyone in the world would wish for in her position. You're an amazing role model for sons who love their moms everywhere.
The end of this video really touched me in a way I didn't expect, my mom also went through cancer, tongue cancer. Did you know that was a thing? Me either. Thankfully she made it through but she very easily might not have. And I guess I never really processed that until now. So that really hit home for me, and I'm very sorry for your loss Jake, it sounds like your mom was quite a gal and she always will be my friend
I just lost my grandmother this passed June. I try to convince myself that everything is ok but It’s hard and it’s even harder to not have that final good bye. My heart goes out to you Jake.
Jake, I missed this when it came out but I love this video and I love your soul and I love your spirit. Long live. And so much love to your mom and your family.
How has it been 6 years already! Wowzers time flies. Appreciate you Jake
My heart dropped when I heard about your mother. I'm so sorry to hear about all that hun. But I am sure she is very proud of you and watching you even now. She will still keep on watching you throughout everything you do. She just gets to see the videos before everyone else now cause she can watch them while your editing them with you.
You got me cryin in the club Jake :,( sending love and hugs and support for the loss of such a lovely person
Don’t ever be sorry for your grief. Your mom sounds like she was a wonderful person and that she was proud of you. You have touched more lives than you will ever know and have brightened millions with your content. My heart goes out to you. I lost my dad recently too, it was so sudden and I just remember feeling so utterly lost and empty (sometimes I still do, almost three years later). You don’t have to apologize for your sorrow. You just lost a huge chunk of your heart and to share that with the world and to come back to face your fans is such a huge and brave step. We love you. Don’t forget that.
My dad had a very similar outro, but he liked to joke around a lot, so his was ‘Smell ya later’ lol.
So sorry for your loss, she was an amazing lady, and mother to you, take all the time you need to grieve, she'll always be close to you, the pain really never goes away, (yes speaking from experience I've lost both my parents) but it does get easier to handle. We believe in you too, in all your dreams hopes, and aspirations. On a side note congrats on selling your business and shooting it upwards to what you always seen where it belongs.
love you Jake so glad you are back with all of us again
Jake, I'm so sorry. I know what you're going through. My mother died of stage four lung cancer on July 26th this year; it was her 62nd birthday. She'd never smoked, so it was an awful surprise for everyone. When she was diagnosed in the summer of 2019, we were hopeful; her cancer stagnated and even shrank slightly at one point, but a year later, she declined again. She went from walking and talking to wheeling around in a wheelchair with an oxygen concentrator. We should've realized her condition wasn't going to improve when the portable concentrator wasn't enough to keep her oxygen saturation above 90%. In her last month, she required two home oxygen concentrators, both at full tilt (around 10 liters of oxygen per minute each). In her last two weeks, she couldn't get out of bed. In her last few days, she couldn't sit up. In her final hours, she didn't have the energy to speak or open her eyes as she slowly drowned in her bed.
It's a horrible thing that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. Our loved ones deteriorate before our eyes, and we're left with regret when they're gone. I hope you can maintain a positive outlook through this tribulation as I endeavor to do the same.

I've been watching your videos since your channel started. You've grown so much over the years. So very sorry for your mom, but by god she's gotta be proud of you. You're just doing so well and it's fantastic seeing your face again. Keep hanging in there, Jake. We're all here supporting you every step of the way.
I have no words that could be enough. I'm so happy for you and heartbroken for you at the same time. We've missed your content, and I'm onboard for whatever comes next.
My father was in and out of the hospital with his cancer. He had been in remission and had been discharged. After a couple of years he went back, and started getting worse.
Eventually he got better and was discharged again, awaiting another appointment. I got a call in mid-afternoon on Friday from my brother that he wasn't doing well and I should make an effort to come down to visit. I told him I'd be coming down that day but as I lived 5 hours away, he said no one would be awake to let me in when I arrived around 11p-12a.
He passed overnight at 3am.....
It's one of the biggest things I hate my brother for, and I can never forgive him for.
I cried, and I usually don't, now you made me jump from my chair to hug my mom and tell her I love her like I always do. Thanks for that.
My dad died in pretty much the exact same way, starting with vision issues, brain tumour, body riddled with cancer. This is the first time in my life I feel grateful for getting more time with my dad before he passed.
Now I’m sitting here bawling my eyes out while my toddler eats her dinner.
I’m very sorry for your loss, Jake. I lost my mother to lung cancer in October 2020. It was very sudden just like with your mother. It’s very painful to lose someone so close to you but please try to take it easy, Jake. Your mother’s love for you will be with you for the rest of your life.
We've missed you, Jake. Glad to see you're still doing well despite an eventful life for good and bad. You're an inspiration!
My condolences Jake. I can't even imagine how you could be feeling but I do hope that you are able to get through this tough situation sooner than later. Have a wonderful rest of your day, week, month.
She truly sounds like an amazing mom and a person in general
Truly touching and so sad to hear of your loss. My Mum passed away from stage 4 lung cancer last week and I’m still coming to terms with it. Thank you for sharing your story.
Regardless of everything and anything, you're still doing incredible and we're all proud of you. The ups and downs are what shape us and how we travel that rollercoaster, is what give us the insight and how to take on things in the future. I speak for all of us when I say that we're looking forward to everything you're going to create. Lastly, so sorry about your mom. Cherish the time and special moments you guys had together and celebrate the hell out of her. It's not goodbye.... No! It's never goodbye. It's see ya later!
Very sorry to hear about your mom Jake. She sounds like a real fighter and great woman.
Congrats on all of the good news. This video was definitely emotional. She'd be proud
After some months in the lockdown, when the cases were exponentially risung, their was fear everywhere, I was preparing for the entrance exams at that time and got slipped into depression, at that time @jakerawr your videos were an escape for me and I am greatful I got across your channel instead of wasting my time on some meaningless thing, the knowledge I got from that escape was unmatchable with any series or show ever existed!
When I finished your videos approx. In 6 months, I felt a void in me, an urge to acquire some knowledge, but the urge was to learn it from you, when you shared you RUclips exit, it kinda hurt and my quest for knowledge sort of dried out for sometime, then I kinda fell properly depression, but now hearing again from this you I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN AND TO LEARN FROM YOU AGAIN!
It's so hard to feel excited and sympathetic at the same time for someone. I can't wait to see what great things are in store from your productions, but I'm so sorry to hear what happened. I lost my mother just over a year ago from cancer as well. In my mind cancer never wins, because we know that the person's willingness to fight never goes away. So while the body may not have enough left to fight, the soul was never beaten.
All the best to your future!
Congratulations on your big sale! 🥳. I’m happy that you were able to relieve your stress about maintaining the Curiosity Box and and Vsauce 3. I’m excited to see your future adventures in New York.
I’m sorry to hear about your mothers passing. I give my greatest condolences. If there is anyway a long-standing fan can assist with, all 305 thousand fans are with you!
See ya later! (You’re the most awesome!)
Agh jake this had me tearing up a tad, so sorry about your sudden and difficult loss. You’ve always brought such positivity and spark to everything you do and have always been my favourite personality on this platform and any online thing for that matter, keep up the good stuff, keep bringing her spark to your and our lives, we all love ya x
She’s right. It literally is “see you later”. Keeping you on my mind. We know you’ll continue to make her proud. Peace and love.
My mom died of stage 4 lung cancer too. I cried when you did. My mom was amazing too, most moms are. My dearest condolence Jake, she will never be gone as long as you keep the good stories up.
My friends mom had a severe heart attack about three years ago. She was perfectly fine, living life, meeting friends, helping out in the community, and so on, then this happened seemingly out of nowhere. It’s incredibly sad that this can just happen to any and everyone, and I’m so sorry it happened to you. Your mom sounds like an incredible person and I’m sure she’ll be remembered as such!
Jake, I'm sorry that you had to go through that. My sister died unexpectedly from a pulmonary embolism. It's never an easy thing to get through, but I want to thank you for sharing your story.
Your content and channel have been my favorite since I started frequenting youtube. Last June I lost my mother in a very similar way. I, and many others know what you had to go through. You have my utmost sympathies and condolences.
My mom passed this year, its not that I am happy nor sad. Just null. Sorr for your loss though
Really happy to hear of your successes, and so sorry for your loss! You are an incredible human!
Your mom would be so proud of you today. I am sorry for your loss, I feel for you, and I hope the pain eases
I'm crying and thankful for you sharing about where you are in your life. I just lost my mom as well to cancer that took over all of her body and it was just hard. Thankful for every moment that I had with her.
Stay safe. And I'm so glad your back
This video hit me hard. I lost my mum in March, she was battling kidney failure for a decade, however it was COVID that took her. One day I was dropping off clothes at the hospital, expecting to see her in a week or so, the next she was gone.
Nothing can prepare us for a loss like that, or for the grief that will stay with us. My mum was my best friend, and for a long time the only reason I stayed alive.
I never know what to say when people say they're sorry for my loss, so I'll refrain from saying that, I'll just remind you (As I'm sure you'll always know) your mum was and would still be very proud of what you've achieved and the person you are.
We don't know eachother, but feel free to reach out any time. I've found talking to someone who has gone from the same situation has helped me a lot over the last few months.
i know i'm just a person on the internet but i'm really sorry for your loss. the relationship with your mom is so amazing, and the fact that it stays with you until your own end. and the fact that i, basically a rando, can share a tiny fraction of your pain is kinda amazing if you think of it. humanity, man...
i'm really happy your career goes on changing and challenging you. good luck :)
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Jake. Sending love to you and your family. I lost my dad last year to cancer. He was living abroad and I couldn't afford to go out to visit him. Watching him deteriorate with each video call was crushing. He started to lose his ability to form coherent sentences but before that we had some great conversations about movies and all the weird things happening at the time and putting the world to rights.
He really fought and fought but sometimes cancer just doesn't care how hard you want to fight back. When it came to his funeral I and my family had to watch it over messenger call. It was a weird experience for us all and I never really got the closure ii felt I needed. I was lucky enough to get his remains ( a few days before the anniversary of his death ) and my brothers and I scattered him together in one of his favourite destinations.
I still don't feel the closure I seek but I do feel like I've managed to find some peace with it. I don't know what stage of grieving you are in but I hope that you find the peace you are looking for and keep your mother close to your heart. She sounds like a wonderful person and you were both really fortunate to have each others support.
