#Stories about children with sickness (#小さな命をみつめて)
Yomiuri TV has been dedicating our efforts to cover stories about children with sickness. We hope that our efforts contribute to a better environment for those children as well as to further the awareness of child medicine in Japan. We have created English subtitles to reach more people in the world. We hope to continue to be a helping hand for the children with sicknesses and their families to enhance their quality of life. Acknowledgment should be given to the two translators; Mr. Takehiro Hashimoto and Mr. Sean Bradley for their dedication.
when Aoi said "mom, you're cute"
that broke me...
I don’t need her to say anything for me to feel happy for my life
Same here😭
Frrr , that's when my tears started to wet my face..luv you Aoi..you're a wonderful kid 🤧❤️
Same
Gurl i can't stop crying 💔💔💔
This little girl passed away knowing she was loved deeply...may this little angel Rest In Peace
Bless your lives RIP bubba. 😇🙏😇
Parece que se ríen de ella, pobre niña la madre no veo que respete su dignidad . Un saludo desde china, conozco bien la cultura y la mamá tan contenta con sus varones.
RIP Little Angel
Rest In Peace Aoi
In prayers
"Aoi passed away. She never woke up again."
Damn, short sentence but it hit the hardest.
💔💔💔
So hard.
I am so glad she went downhill very quickly and died very quickly... basically she fell asleep in the aquarium and never woke up.. thats the best i could hope for for all children who are sick with no cure..
Yes. But I am confused, did she pass the night of the aquarium trip or sometime later?
@@Emmie_24 Probably, her brother told her to wake up and she had her eyes closed so she maxbe passed away in the aquarium
“Mum you’re cute”. Still manages to say these words to her mum looking so much in pain. What a lovely girl and beautiful family. Amazing hospice care and staffs. Rip little 👼
mum youre cute and dad, i have nothing to say to u🤣
Yes Aoi so cute she left this world and stayed another world that called god feet heaven you stay with peace there baby
I am crying so hard if it was my kid, she is so innocent she had to live to experience the life, damn why children die it's just unfair.
Seeing the father cry when he just hoped that his daughter could be awake to enjoy the aquarium really got to me. Rest In Peace sweet Aoi.
كم هو محزن الفقد
الآن هي في الجنه مكان أفضل من الدنيا
فالترقد روحها بالسلام
Also, while taking the picture outside, he was broken, his look says it all.
@@lau.e.3316 he knew
Rest In Peace Aoi. Sending love and strength to her family and dear ones. ❤️
I was okay until that moment.
they’re the best parents ever, not breaking down in front of her nor showing her their sadness, rest in peace cutie.
Agreed
Bingo
That's right
Nothing wrong if they did. Sheesh
So they are the best parents because they hide their feelings?? 🤦🏻♀️
I cried so hard when the little brother was asking his sister to wake up to enjoy the aquarium… I can’t imagine the pain this family must have felt.
Yh
What a beautiful, sweet and caring family. And brave also. They endured a terribile pain but they stayed strong and loving. May they have the best future. May Aoi rest in peace
I am crying too, its so heart aching
Yelling to the ear.... not "asking"...😢
As an excited child would @@TheSmardu
"Mama, you're cute."
You are too, Aoi.
You came like a little angel, and left like one.
That was so adorable.
Yes I was looking at her. She is so cute
"Aoi passed away. She never woke up again."
I knew this will happen. I expected it, but seeing the empty bed and thinking how happy Aoi could have been if she was cured. It hurts seeing her brother saying, "Wake up Aoi." This video is enough to make a grown man cry.
Her brother was trying to tell her to look at the penguins. So sad 😭
I felt pretty sad but didnt cry
So sad
I know i knew it would happen but not that sudden with just an empty bed that once was hers
Reminds me of grave of the fireflies
"Wake up Aoi"
"She never woke up again."
I can't imagine how parents feel when their child passes away before them. Atleast Aoi is not suffering anymore. God bless her and her family.
😪😪😪😪😪😪
Her tears just before then, I think she knew. What a beautiful sweet girl.
She went to paradise, the poor little girl looks so tired of life, God rest her soul
She knew. They always know.
She made it to where she wanted to go too. She saw the aquarium. 😭💜
I lost my husband to this brain cancer 7 months ago. Seeing such a sweet little girl suffering from it was heartbreaking. She was loved and will be sorely missed. She touched the heart of everyone watching. RIP Aoi.
🙏🏼❤😢❤🙏🏼
rip to your husband too
Lost my boyfriend to covid two years ago today at 36. Sending hugs.
Condolences for the loss of your husband.
❤
What a story from this beautiful family. For 4 months they each gave 100% for their daughter, their sibling. No complaints, no “I can’t do this”. They all put her first defining the definition of a “family”. I am humbled by this display of love and humanity. I would hope more children’s hospice centers are considered around the world.
The Japanese are a people I admire for their willpower. They have greater self-control than any other I know…
We could all learn some things from them…
When she "fell asleep" she looked so still with that tear in her eye. I was like, "is she.." and then the end came. It must have hurt so horribly when her mother came back home from the outing just to realize Aoi hadn't been sleeping and she couldn't hear her brother asking her to wake up or her mom telling her to look at the penguins
So did she pass at the Aquariam? I thought she passed the next day?
@@SamanthaD89 I believe she was "imminent" during the Aquarium visit, not actually "deceased."
STOP 💔
at 11:06 you can see her chest still somewhat move so I have hopes she was still just sleeping at that moment
@@kayleighdrevis5252 It's called "agonal breaths." It's when the heart is slowly coming to a stop. While the heart is slowing down you will have periodic breathing like one breath every 2 to 3 minutes and it further decreases over the course of several hours til it comes to a complete stop. Heartbreakingly so she was already dead when they took her on the family trip.
Why suddenly all of us got this as a recommendation, I can't stop crying watching this
I know right
Yeah it’s so sad that she there was no cure and that she couldn’t live for that long
😭😭😭😭😭
I'm litterally crying from the first minute😭 why it is recommended for meee😭
I also just bumped into this recommendation and can't stop crying after 😭
11:12, you can see the father tried his best to smile but it seemed hard for him since he knew the time was coming.
I was told by my senior, he said the happiest moment for a father is seeing his children sleep well and the cycle-breath of his children makes him smile. My thoughts and pray for him, and I know this daughter is resting in peace and happy for the cherished moment with her family before she left.
The fact that the mom was happy to spend time with her daughter "safely" while she was dying/almost dead really breaks my heart, not to mention the fathers face in the photo, he just looks heartbroken. RIP aoi 💔
Can we all just appreciate that a place like this exists.... optimal care and comfort for children and their family. Beautiful.
I'm so sorry for the loss

Thats sad if you don't have this in your country. Most should.
Didn't say why her head and face swallowed!?
@@sirunikunushik7735 The swelling was from all the medications Aoi needed to take
@@brickhouse7401 Thank you for your information. I was wondering why her head and face were so swollen too. Thank you.
She endured and held out until summer break, to experience her one final wish: Taking a trip to the aquarium with her family. What a strong soul Aoi had.
Oh God, this got me crying so hard 😭😭😭😭
This is like omg I'm crying
I was diagnosed with Leukaemia back in 2012 around the same time as Aoi here which makes this story hit harder than usual. I’ve been in remission since but it breaks my heart that this girl never made it….May she rest in peace ❤️❤️❤️😢
Adult's leukaemia is wayyyy different!
@@TheSmardu Dumbest reply I've ever read...Did you even get the point of my comment?
It's so heartbreaking. There's no greater pain than losing a child. Condolences to the entire family.
I am more sad about how the girl felt, she was in pain and nobody could help her, so sad
@@dmitrykim3096 Everybody could but nobody would. Even a cat or a dog is entitled to euthanasia after terminally ill or injured but all mankind can ever get is "stay strong" and "hang in there".
How positive is this 😆
@@johnching5240There are voluntary suicides (typically by injection) to end suffering available in various countries. But I think many people just don’t think of their pet as truly a family member so they can’t/don’t want to pay the costs to save the animal or to keep the animal alive.
I've noticed that children hide their emotions just like their Parents when they're dying. The Parents don't want to upset the child, but the child knows full- well that their death will be a difficult time. Aoi fought hard just to go to the Aquarium. Probably not for herself, but for her Family.
the most heartbreaking comment😢
I volunteered as an hospital clown. it was a kids hospital. the worst part wasn't watching kids be sick (most of them can't grasp the reality) but the suffering parents that have to pretend to their kids everything was ok.
Yes, i noticed the same. It was hard to Watch. You can notice a tiny little tear on her eye. Poor angel,may you rest in peace.
Absolutely. I’ve seen enough videos like this (not that I seek them out, but I get curious when I come across it) where the kids are so fully aware of their condition. They are so mature and calm, but still maintain that sense of childhood innocence. To us, we see what could have been a future for them, but to them, they have no clue. They are able to grasp that they are sick, they are in pain, and they may not see their family again one day. Death isn’t what they fear, it’s not being able to see their parents that does. Ugh, cancer is awful, but childhood cancer is a whole other beast. I wish these kids didn’t have to suffer.
@@loretohidalgo3533 If a person be happy they be more strong. Thank you. You made them feel better too
the poor parents, the dad looked so hopeless inside and the mom holding her tears back… this is too much for me, life is so unfair sometimes
All of the time.
Don't kid yourself. The universe is not soft and cuddly. It's sharp, freezing, rough, abrasive, toxic and burning. Life is nothing but struggle, pain and disappointment. Like death, it's inevitable.
We're supposed to enjoy the positive things that life on Earth offers: beauty, love, joy, flowers, the northern lights, the smell of a cactus blossom, soft puppies and cherish every positive moment we can for a reason. They are not the norm.
If they were, we would cherish fire and pain instead.
@@YouDontKnowAsMuchAsYouThinkUDo I believe you're looking at things a bit too negatively. We absolutely should cherish every positive moment we have, but we don't need to let the negative consume us. You told the OP "don't kid yourself", but why do you think they were doing that and then felt the need to emphasize the unfair? There's nothing wrong or delusional about focusing on the positive. We need more of that actually.
It’s funny to me

I feel a little ashamed of myself when I complain about my problems. They are nothing, nothing compared to the heartache this family had to endure. But they endured it beautifully for their daughter. RIP little one and blessings to the family.❤
Same here 😢 This was so sad I cried and felt guilty I am complaining of the problems I’m currently facing and felt sorry for myself. I’m so glad at least I’m healthy.
I don’t have and will never want to have kid. But this story tearing my heart in pieces, feeling like losing my own little angel girl. And DEEP RESPECT to Japanese people, they have this incredible capabilities to deal things in such graceful and elegant behaviours, even in front of death. One of the most educated and civilised human groups ever on earth. ❤ to Japan
Same I know I Will never have kids for the same reasons because I love Them too Much and wouldnt want Them to suffer like I suffered during my life .. plus I think There is so Much people on Earth Who need help . Adoption is a Much better choice
When at the aquarium, you could see a small tear in Aoi’s eye. Maybe she knew it was her time and that she’d have to leave her family, but at least they spent a beautiful last day together. Dearest Aoi, you were so strong and fought so hard, I hope wherever you are now you are happy and healthy.
She have family with her. Lot love
I literary cried while reading this 😭
@@reginaldchristopher9918 maybe, you never know
@@reginaldchristopher9918 did you even get through the first minute. She has cancer and the swollen face is from the side effects of the medication
I hear the song "The best day" playing in my mind...💔
I'm crying, the little tear at her eyes at the aquarium, she knew this was her last moment with the people she loved
Rest in peace little angel, you were strong and fought like a warrior! I'm so sorry for the family loss, they were wonderful parents and brothers to her
I saw it..
Yes, saw a year in her eye...how grateful we as parents are for healthy children. May Aoi rest in peace
😔😔
Sadd
Look up Andrew Wommack's "A Better Way To Pray".😇
Damn. Right in the feels. 11pm, it's my summer holiday and I'm crying.
Rest in peace, Aoi.
"look at the penguins, they're sliding!"
It broke me completely. her mom was doing her best to cheer her up and to calm the suffering, but you could feel how difficult it was for her daughter to stay alive.. Devastating😭💔
I think it's beautiful that she did that for her daughter. In case Aoi was struggling to keep her eyes open or was half asleep, she could at least hear her mom describing everything. Either way, I hope she still enjoyed that trip to the aquarium. May her little soul rest in peace.
Heartbreaking. Cancer sucks especially when it's a child who has to fight it. Aoi's parents gave her the best send off she could ask for when they took her to her favorite place. That hospice also made her last days more meaningful.
It wasn't meant to be, you should understand.
It wouldn't be right and wouldn't feel right to keep fighting nature forever.
@@zeuna bruh shut uppppppp.
Cancer is so common we have to know if we have real cancer or not and we fear it
what a bummer
“ Aoi passed away.She never woke up again “ that hits hard.
when she even complimented her mom by saying, "Mum, you're cute." I was weeping.
Being a father to a daughter whom i love more than i can even think about loving anything or anyone else on this earth, i felt like a stabbing pain in my heart for this little girl.
as a father of one beautiful daughter, it's so hard not to cry watching this. i couldn't even comprehend the father's feeling watching aoi all those years. i might've gone too just from the stress.
Never thought the suffering of someone 1000s of miles away from me could make me sob like a toddler. I can't stop crying. Such a brave little girl, such loving parents, such protective brothers. My love to you all! My love to you all!
😪💔 The death of a Love one hits home and really hurts us all as humans , the death of a complete stranger also makes me deeply sad and hurts me too but the Death of a Innocent child that doesn't deserve Cancer at all shatters me beyond what I can handle ,it is so cruel and painful seeing kids suffer and that is why it is so painful. 😭
Still relatable as humans.
same. Let it out. 🥰
Life is so cruel...love to you and us still here.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
When Aoi said "Mom, you're cute" I all of a sudden broke down in tears. It was heartbreaking to see the family go through this. I hope Aoi enjoys her afterlife and isn't in her pain anymore. Rest in peace, Aoi. 💞🕊🌹
What's the time frame
@@Kluane09 12:57
She did well, rest in peace Aoi
😪💔 This was so sad to see, I pray for the family to find the strength beyond what us normal to keep going through this life without their little girl.
Rip 🤧😔💖
Aoi is such a strong beautiful innocent girl I hope her soul can rest now peacefully and her family can live peacefully ❤️ I’m happy her family could ATLEAST spend 4 months with her🥹
I can't stop crying. I'm actually very glad Aoi brothers knew the condition and situation. All those drawing made me in tears. So sorry for your loss.
RIP baby angel.
I can't imagine being a nurse or doctor in a children's hospice... That would be so hard... To see children die all the time. Especially if you make special connections with them. I have a deep and profound respect for them.
Right I couldn't do it. I've been crying the whole time watching this. I can't imagine working there. ♥️😭 I feel like people who are in this line of work have some type of disconnect or they have a heart of gold. Like there's no in-between.
The guilt, the sadness... I can't
I love children and would work there in a heartbreak so that I could assist them with care and comfort in their end days.
Me too😔
i worked for a decade before in dialysis patients they are literally terminal in treatment without transplant especially without financial assistance hearing them go down selling all their family's house and possessions just to have dialysis well we all go down that journey just at a different time.
I'm so proud to the parents who can keep smiling to this situation. Aoi's smile in the end was so sweet. Rest in peace, Aoi.
That’s the Japanese spirit…they’re strong people.
Because they have many children
@@devaprasath7776 bruh..
May her soul rest in peace 💜
Very strong parents ❤️
I had to tear up at the dad giving her forehead kisses and started crying but "ippai, ippai ganbarimashita" written on her photo at the end made me bawl 😢 She had to endure so much, hope she rests well.
This video broke me… seeing Aoi’s strength give me so much more strength. She was such a brave soul. Bless her and her family. Rest in peace Aoi-chan, you are very inspiring to a lot of people in the world. ❤
The most painful part about this is that she seemed like such a sweet kid, and it felt unfair seeing such a young, precious life get taken away. I could only hope that her last moments were nothing but peaceful and content, and that she knew how loved she was. Her parents were so strong for managing a smile in front of her. I'm practically just a stranger and I'm here crying ten years worth of tears for the little girl, just imagining how hard it must have been for her. Everyone was so strong. Rest well, Aoi.
God wanted her pure soul back :)
Well we see this many times with people who are hurt and can't do anything.
Like they just think alot.
Repent to Jesus Christ
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19 NIV
hh
I felt regret for everything I and humanity has done to cause this. If it wasn't for all we would't be in this path that lead to death. But God has granted us the desicion in this short life to choose life again. Sadly we see the consequence of our sin, our bad doing in this horrible ways, our fault, we are to blame, but God has a plan to restitute it all that the devil has taken away in the sacrifice of His own flesh, His only Son, Jesus, He gave everything so we could be with Him, alive again, we need to hold on to that, we need to remain faithful this time and he will see our hearts that he gave us and be with Him again when His Kingdom come, death has no power over those who have chosen life, over those that repent and have choose Jesus. The tree of life, the only Way.
To mourn is good, there is nothing that this world can give. Only God gives hope.
@@drone_photography42 don’t make everything about religion. Horrible comment 👎

She was absolutely precious. My condolences to her family, I cannot imagine how they feel.
My heart shattered when her little brother said “wake up Aoi” and a minute later they/we find out she passed away. The silence with the empty bed and they subtitles saying “Aoi passed away” killed me. She seemed so strong and big hearted. R.I.P Aoi, I hope you can watch as many penguins as you want in heaven.
@@lisafoos8976
In my opinion she passed shortly after in the hospital.
xae,
Mine too. When they said she slept the whole day before my heart was lifted that she would enjoy one of her favorite places.
I didn't see her eyes open at any time. So yeah, when little brother said wake-up I felt shattered as well. Plus dad wiping his tears with a towel because he was so heart broken as well that she couldn't open her eyes.
The title of video? I knew what would happen yet still cried.
Peace & Love,
Missy
but she passed away peacefully💟
@@lisafoos8976 it says she passed the very next day. So nice she was able to spend her last waking days surrounded by her loving family. I’m sure that’s all she could have wanted in her last dying days. Rip beautiful angel 👼🏻
@@lisafoos8976 I'm in awe of parents of children who die from cancer. It's a cruel disease which often kills slowly and painfully. These parents loved their little girl so much. They ensured she received the best treatment to the end, whilst attempting to keep their boys happy.
I can’t stop crying. She had so much life ahead of her and it was taken away.. I’m sure she knew it was time when she wanted to go out to the aquarium. My heart goes out to the family. She is with god now able to run around happily. She was a beautiful child. Rest In Peace.. amen.
Same here. This is so unfair. I feel for this family.
Yeah....❤
I can’t stop the tears 💔
If everything happens for a reason its really tough to understand things like this.
Such a beautiful child is with God now.
I'm humbled to see the love and relationship in their family. Tears rolling down. She is an Angel 😍
Wow that little girl looked so happy and cute before she got sick...poor little girl her and her parents were strong!
when Aoi said: mama, your cute. It was the sweetest thing ever. She’s now resting in heaven :)
That moment broke me. I just went limp and started wailing. Happiness be with sweet Aoi 🌻
@@BattleNuggetz same 😭😭😭😭😭
Well, it makes the living feel better to believe in myths such as heaven - so that’s what matters in heartbreaking situations like this. Lovely family. Brave, sweet little girl.
@@windwoman3549 First off, you're generalizing the Earth's entire population, including yourself (since you're amongst the living)when you type things like that. Second, instead of insulting someone's beliefs when it's causing no harm to you is uncalled for. Your last two statements would have been just fine. We are just happy this child is no longer living a life of suffering, same as you. That's common ground.
@@BattleNuggetz
Put videos into a public arena like TH-cam, and no reasonable person could possibly expect only one type of comment. There is always the option to “turn comments off” if the uploader isn’t prepared for a range and/or volume of opinions.
Frankly, it seems that you chose to ignore the overall meaning of my comment & instead chose to be offended - saying I “insulted” the family. That was not my intent WHATSOEVER - therefore, I will not apologize.
I am befuddled by your contention that I “generalized” people. How so? At 58, I’ve been around for a while. I’m fairly well-traveled, intelligent, and a decent observer. People either DO believe in supernatural forces (a “higher power”), they waffle (“I’m not religious, I’m ‘spiritual.’”, agnostics), or they make it clear that they DON’T believe in god(s), ghosts, & magic. What else is there? I’m in the last category. I’ve never been a believer, thus I refer to myself as a “natural atheist.” I didn’t DEconvert because I wasn’t converted in the first place. Insult? * lol * If I had a dime for every time I’ve been out-&-out insulted for being an atheist, I’d have a lot more money than I do now!
Lastly - I’m sure my opinion doesn’t matter to the family, why would it? Their faith seems to be very solid to me. As far as I’m aware, one’s belief in a “higher power” isn’t contingent on it’s popularity with humans . . . is it?
I’m crying man when the brother told her to wake up to see the penguins it just hit me, she was such a sweet girl
seeing children suffer is the worst thing i can imagine.
She is the strongest person I have ever seen in my life
I can't even begin to imagine working in a children's hospice. R.I.P.
I can't even imagine the pain that the parents endured when they had to accept the harsh reality of Aoi's final days yet continued to be cheerful in front of her. There's so much love in that family and I hope they are doing well.
Oh, TH-cam, why did you decided to show this to me.. It is such a heartbreaking story, I'm crying now... I can't even imagine the pain in the hearts of the parents and the strenght of this little Angel, who had to struggle, being just a little kid...
Thank you for this hospice, for supporting this family! Aoi spent her life being loved by her dearest people, who could support and comfort her... Rest in peace, little Angel.
It must not be like this, children must not die.
Heart breaking 🙏
th-cam.com/users/shortsaqo2tB0FCcY?feature=share
🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, the parents made sure to put a smile face behind the sadness so they could cheer her up. What more broke me was when she wanted to go to her favourite place as if she knew something was gonna come up-
RIP little angel. May her family get strength!!!!
@@disgurstingshat10 that`s true, when a child is in trouble, it always wants to see smiling and self-confident parents, because this makes a kid feel safe and not be scared... And that`s such hard work for a parent to keep on smiling when the heart is being torn into million pieces every moment... Such strong people, I can only admire them, they did everything they could for their daughter!
She was loved by her parents and siblings. This is the most important thing. The family was with her till the end and even after that they are fondly talking about her. Now this is a gift!!! She is a gifted gal!
yeah shes so gifted to die at 6yo 💀
@@user-nt7os5cg7j wow
I wish that no one had to suffer like this you guys look like the perfect family. May God bless your guys' hearts and family. Rest and peace Aoi
Since the mother spends more time with her you can see she’s being more accepting of it. The father sees her only on weekends and you can see how much pain he is feeling
stories like this make me disgusted in myself for thinking life is unfair. i’ve lost two siblings before, but that was when they had just been born; i can’t imagine spending years with someone so precious to me and then one day they’re just gone. knowing you’ll never hear their voice, see them smile, spend time together doing your favorite things, etc.. i’ll never complain about life again. bless this family
You have every right to think so! A sibling loss is a loss in every circumstance!
I hope you're doing well🌸
And bless you too! That kind of loss is horribly painful too!😔
Suffering is suffering no matter how small, it’s no good to try and compare it
I lost two siblings,I truly miss them. My sister, passed in hospice and my brother,passed in his apartment,they found him 2 days later. They now live in Paradise.
Don't try and belittle your pain. You've been through a lot too and I hope you will find ease in hardship x
Seeing her empty hospice room with the subtitles saying she never woke up again is so daunting. Rest In Dear Peace sweet angel 🙏🙏
In distress, Japanese people are the most amazing people... This is another wonderful example.
the amount of mental and emotional resilience and strength it takes to persevere each day to just continue without breaking down in the face of a terminal diagnosis is absolutely incomprehensible to me. may god bless Aoi and her family.
I think it is amazing that places like this exist. Imagine finally being able to let your child spend the rest of their time with their family in a more home like environment, rather than a hospital filled with memories of pain and suffering- where you aren't necessarily allowed to meet or be touched or hugged by your family. I assume that just gotta be very lonely and terrifying. Places like this are probably the only way they are going to be able to experience some resemblance of what a normal day has to offer during their final days.
I wish they were common and could be like that for everybody.
That is exactly like patients of covid 19 who passed away
Sadly,most of them died alone in a hospital 😥 (well except with doctors,nurses,and other covid patients)
We need more Hospice's For Children ..
This was so good..for all..
It is a heavy time and helps lift some of the pain and share..
So sorry for your loss and pain..she was a beautiful little girl..she went peacefully.. 😪😪🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
Places like this do exists. It’s generally the family and their inability to accept the impending death of a loved one who refuses to accept the word hospice or palliative and won’t take that step. Leaving their loved ones to die in a hospital instead. I do not believe in god or heaven, but I don’t believe that death is the end either. It’s just different. The sooner we stop fearing the better our end of life could be.
Wow for former patient's family to come offer their support and well wishes was really touching :( May all those sweet angels rest in peace and may their families find healing and peace
This video hits hard. My dad passed away last yr and this reminded me of his final days when he was terminally ill. His last few days were just slipping in and out of consciousness. Our family grief also turned into acceptance because we know that he will be better up there.
She was fortunate to be a member of such a loving, caring family. She is in heaven and not suffering anymore❤️🇬🇧
heaven. LOLOLOL
@@MaestroStefanoPetrini what?
@@MaestroStefanoPetrini found the edgy atheist..
Don't you have something better to do?
Tears just rolling down my face... and when she told her mother she's beautiful, I just couldn't hold it together. May God Keep giving your family the strength to move on. She was one beautiful little girl ❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes I agree. I can't stop crying after watching this video.
Why mother doesn't answer the same to her?🙏
@@teyataom Please remove this comment. Do you really think that Aoi's parents want to see it ?
@@lisacz6607 I didn’t understand the comment can you explain?
@@teyataom I'm Japanese. Mom said her daughter is cute 13:15“kawaii”
But that's not that important.
She’s now resting well in heaven 🥺 god is with her fly high 🕊️ may her soul rest in peace. Love from the Philippines❤
What a precious baby. I hope she felt no pain when she passed. God is taking care of her little soul in heaven🙏🩷
Her telling her mother that she was cute really hit hard. Rest in peace, beautiful angel! May God hold you in his hands always.
"Cute" isn't the best translation. "Kawaii" can also mean "pretty," so it's more likely she was telling her mom that she was pretty. It's obvious that she really meant it, too. She was such a sweet little girl. I hope she and her family find peace.
@@laura121684 They translated it as cute on the subtitles so im just repeating. Sorry!
@@MissBossy No, don't be sorry! I didn't mean anything towards you. I only meant that it could also mean pretty. I apologize if I came off that way. I really didn't mean anything by it.
@@laura121684 My understanding is that kawaii usually refers to children. I heard it a lot when we lived in Japan. My children were young and people would tell me " oh, kawaii ne!"
@@normakirkpatrick9486 That may have been your experience, but that's not the case. I took college courses in Japanese, and I can assure you that kawaii can be used to refer to an adult woman as well. It's an adjective, so it can be used to describe just about any person, place, thing, or idea.
Aoi's mom is so strong, she always smiled in front of Aoi
I was full on sobbing by the end of the video. I can’t imagine how the parents must have felt in comparison
Thank you. I nursed a little boy Christopher who died of Leukaemia holding my hand his parents were too upset to stay in his room I promised them I would, he was the same age as AOI Not all parents had the strength to be there at the end unlike Apis parents.
He has remained with me for over 50 years. RIP AOI
Aoi: mom, you're cute.
Me: finally crying.
Despite knowing what's going to happen, I still chose to watch this to teach myself that I'm lucky living my life.
I accidentally stumbled onto this touching video. Aoi was cute,even with a swollen face. If she's reincarnated let her be born healthy,active and happy.
I don’t want to be the one with the negative comment, so please understand that this comes from a pure place, this comment is not meant to hurt you or to make you feel bad in any way. Buddhist believe in reincarnation, this is true, but we also believe that reincarnation is not something we wish on each other, because the whole point of Buddhism is to break the reincarnation circle, so if you want to wish good will on someone after death, you wish for their spirit to reach Nirvana. Reaching Nirvana is the only way to break the hardships of reincarnation and the circle of life.. many people don’t know this, so I just wanted to let you know..
@@KenKobayashiRasmussen, Thank you. Of course,I know. However,how many souls qualify for Nirvana?
Life is suffering but there's also a lot of joy to be had. I was just being realistic. If reincarnation does exist 98-99% of souls would be reincarnated.
I wished for Aoi's soul to be reincarnated into a healthy body so she could be active/happy and experience joy and NO pain. That is the best my practical mind could conceive.
If her soul could reach Nirvana all the better. I wish nothing but the best for her soul. TQ.
@@thescribe7117 and as do I, may she Rest In Peace…
@@thescribe7117 first of, we don’t even know if they believe in Nirvana, they might be Christian because of the Christian Hospice. With regards to how many reaches Nirvana how would you estimate 1-2%, you don’t know how many life’s one soul have lived? And our physical world is not the only one either, there are many worlds, so where do you get the number 1-2%?
@@KenKobayashiRasmussen, Lolz all I know is reaching Nirvana is near impossible. That was just a guess. Let's not argue over details bcs we wish for the best for a departed soul according to our own beliefs.
You do not need to know what the parents of the late child believe in.
Mr Rasmussen,please do not start a petty argument here. What I wished for the child was done in a straightforward manner without any malice nor impure intention and so far nobody has faulted me so please spare me an academic discussion.
I am too tired. This morning I just cremated someone very close to me. I am grieving and broken-hearted but had to put things straight so I stopped by. Could you kindly stop here? TQ.
I will hug my daughters tight tonight. Thank you for sharing. Lots of tears for your beautiful daughter. Your courage is infectious.
What a beautiful family, strong and united during such difficult time. She is another angel in heaven.
Devastating. I find relief in the way she slowly fell asleep at the aquarium, in her favourite place with her whole family and a nurse to make sure she was okay. Rest in peace Aoi, what a beautiful and brave family
Watching this made me realize how badly we need a cure to cancer and other horrible sicknesses... I'm crying so hard about how unfair this is. Rest In Peace little girl...❤️
Oh there's a cure believe it or not. But they won't release it to the public. The people of power and money want people to die.
Not the place for your conspiracy theories ya freak
@@27decimotrio go away.. this isn’t the place.
Yall can keep being close minded and just keep esting what they feed you. It's a very sad situation. No matter how much we plead for that cure, it will only be kept amongst who they see is fit to have it. I'm telling yall they want people to die they don't care if you are a child or not, keep thinking the people of this earth going to give you everything you want.
@@27decimotrio shush u freak
This broke my heart, but I'm so glad baby Aoi had the courage to keep fighting - it means so much to me ♡
Precious girl. So brave. And such a beautiful family. Extraordinary parents !
This little girl passed away knowing she was loved everyday by her family, please rest in peace, Aoi
why did i click, now I can't stop crying... Rest in peace Aoi...And I hope that her family is doing well
Same.. R.I.P Aoi, amen
Same
💝👪🙏very sad😢
I watched it I cried a lot
I can't imagine Aoi died 😢 I was watching until I saw this 11:48 😢 RESPECT TO AOI'S FAMILY❤❤
I cried so hard. I’m so sad. Rest in peace angel, you fought so hard.
This little girl has gone to Heaven. No more sickness, medicines, doctors or hospitals, she is happy and healthy laughing and playing with the other children there. Prayers for comfort to your family.
the other children... its a shame they didn’t get to live their life but at least they are in heaven without any worry
@@chompmonster2278 That is right all those babies, who’s Mom did not practice birth control, thought it was alright to murder their babies? Those the ones you mean. If you were not being sarcastic I apologize, if you were. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.
@@patriciaspell2569 i wasn’t being sarcastic but the fact that other children are in heaven got me; they aren’t even adults and already passed away
This person did not mean to be nasty about the comment, and I did say I was not sure. Someone else complained that men were let off the birth control wagon. Is it the woman who has the right to say no slap and tickle without a raincoat ? Unless she is an animal in control of hormones that is ? The last time I looked we are humans, not animals, and as humans we have the right to chose given to us by the Most High God.
Her brother asking her to wake up hit me like a ton of bricks. RIP sweet angel.
what the....salute to the parents...can't stop crying! proud of you AOI chan! your so brave!
This absolutely broke my heart ! Rest in peace baby 💔
Losing a child is the worst pain anyone can go through…I have been there.
Aoi such a sweet strong baby! She was surrounded with love. My heart weeps for the parents.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your kid and Aoi are together now, maybe they'll meet each other?
@@bobamsd5559 maybe 😊
Thank you for your kind words
Hope you are well now. May you child rest in peace.
@@sepdafodils maybe :) hang in there
@@youknowminholeeknow4028 yes as much as I can be 🙏
I'm glad I got to see Aoi enjoy her last moments. Even though it's terrible, everyone tried their hardest to smile and make her happy.

@@believeinjesus6972 a child died during this video. It’s insensitive when you say these things, and I know you mean no harm, but this video isn’t about religion. It’s about a child who died from cancer and the parents mourning. Please pay respects to the child.
@@kirbystar2285 You can't expect a rabid animal to show any respects, his only goal now is to infect others with his rabid and destructive belief, and that being religion.
@@kirbystar2285 agreed
@@kirbystar2285 agreed
Hospice, hospice workers and families like this one are heaven-sent. I'm just sorry they carry a burden of pain and have moments of extreme grief. They don't deserve the pain. I hope they have joy. I have so much respect for them for living as much life as they could with her.
It breaks my heart to see such a young child like Aoi, having this serious condition, her parents did the best they could and I really appreciate how strong and calm Aoi was throughout her sickness, it must be really hard for her parents to remain happy, trying to hide their sadness when they’re spending time with her, god bless them and hope in the future, Aoi’s family could reunite with the small angel,Aoi, again❤️
It amazes how kids w terminal illnesses are so upbeat, understanding and brave compared to adults. And they fully understand their illness and what could happen
I suppose that is the beauty of the innocence of a child as sad as this may be
jesus this is sad but i think the reason for that is because they haven't experienced what life has to offer yet. adults, on the other hand, realize and have a lot more to leave behind.
I'd just seen a Johnny Depp clip of him saying something similar, how they are courageous and positive but it's the parents who are dying inside everyday.
It's the innocence of a child, they don't have a real understanding of death. I mean none of us do but they're especially naive.
My mom went to the hospital to bring my aunt with cancer, and saw a kid who had cancer there, having to go through this but they’re still smiling
I just hugged my 3 years old sleeping daughter tightly, it is 2 AM and I am crying..
As a father I salute this man courage
your daughter is very lucky to know that she is loved
We never really think how hard it can be on fathers too.
Your daughter is lucky to have you
You seem like a good father, your child is lucky to have you
😭 I'm a flight attendant here in the USA, watching this at Denver Airport i have tears in my eyes. I'm a mother of 3. 💔
So heartbreaking. Rest in peace baby girl.
Much love to this beautiful family ,may your little girl rest in peace xx
I cried at the end when she told her mom “mom you’re cute” 😭😭
Me too(((
Me tooooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭
me too. 🥺
ايش في البنت ..وايش حصل لها
The little note on her picture at the end... "いっぱい、いっぱい頑張りました" means roughly "you persevered with everything you had" 😢
Thanks for translating 🫶😓
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢@@smollilbean
The parents are very brave. My tears were flowing. What a lovely family!
This breaks my heart. If by any chance there's something like heaven, I wish with all my heart she's there. Rest in peace little Aoi.
