[Introduction]


I was under great stress while writing this article.



I took the time to write while wiping my tears many times.



I thought it was necessary to get to know the current situation of the bereaved family, but if this triggered an individual identification ... She talked about the interview as at the time of the incident and her husband lost her husband This is the full text of another bereaved family's comment.

I don't feel anxious when I think that I was involved in the incident and heard about it in my neighborhood.



Also, for the victims of this time, it is very stressful to see the real name report itself and the articles about the incidents that remain on the net forever.



Farewell to her once-in-a-lifetime beloved husband, crushing her heart to the media measures, peacefully.

..

..

I will never forget that I was not able to concentrate on that and send it quietly.



We hope that the media companies will know and think about the pain of the parties concerned, and support the victims so that they can look forward as much as possible.



We sincerely request that you handle all personal information and related information with the highest priority given to the dignity of the deceased and the feelings of the bereaved family.

[About my husband]


My husband was qualified and worked as a full-time employee.



However, feeling the difficulty of her life, she investigated various things by herself, and she started going to the "worker's Nishiumeda Kokorot and Body Clinic", which is the scene of the incident.



Her husband was affectionate and relied on and loved by her colleagues and friends.



Even though she was busy with her work, she cherished her family and actively cooperated in childcare and housework, and both I and my child had a fulfilling life feeling the affection of her husband. ..



Even after being diagnosed at the clinic and deciding to retire, the husband is proud and rewarding for his qualifications and work, saying, "This condition does not last forever. Let's think about a form that allows you to continue working for a long time by utilizing your qualifications. I decided to participate in the treatment and rework program at the "Workers' Nishiumeda Kokorot and Body Clinic".



However, I did not tell my relatives and friends other than me that I had retired and was in the medical treatment period to return to work.



The first thing I don't want to worry about is that I couldn't ignore the magnitude of the impact of the word "unemployed" in modern Japanese society.

[Existence of support law]


When I visited the police station to confirm my husband's identity, the police officer who accompanied me said, "This is the time, but there is a deadline ..." Please tell us about (Basic Law for Crime Victims, Benefit Payment Law for Crime Victims, etc.).



"Early" in the outline of the system, for me, who lost my husband who protected my family mentally and economically and was saddened that I could raise my child without my husband. It is true that the phrase, "Let's live a peaceful life again," helped us.



Even if her husband is killed, there is still something to pay each month.



The cost of the funeral is not small either.



I was able to work because of the support of her husband, but now that I'm gone, I need to save my work.



Therefore, your income will decrease.



If monthly payments are delayed even once, social credibility will be greatly lost.



Do you think it's about money at such times?



However, I raise children in a society with such values.



I want to raise a child who was supposed to be raised with her husband in this place where she can still feel her husband here and there.



I thought that the support of the law was necessary for that.



But it was overturned.

[Where is the idea of ​​the law]


I called the police to ask what kind of procedure should be taken regarding the benefit system for victims of crime.



However, the impression I received from the police department at the counter was, "The application is still early."



I remember mentioning that it was in the investigation stage, but what was further added was that the basis for calculating the amount of benefits was "based on the amount of income of the victim at the time of the damage."



Except for one suspect, I was there in this case while receiving unemployment allowance and injury and illness allowance, and after overcoming dismissal and retirement, for myself, for my family, and for the future. Therefore, there are only those who have been positively working toward the goal of returning to work, and the staff who have supported them.



I think that the negative effects of being categorized as "unemployed" in the media and in the calculation of benefits, and the shock to the bereaved families, during the rework, when they were not at work at that time, are too great.



For the victim's bereaved family this time, it felt as if the dignity of the deceased had been hurt.



Because we seemed to have a hard time going to work even if we wanted to work, but we have seen them forcibly leave the house.



When I met the clinic and rework, my symptoms and physical condition improved, and while I was returning, I was trying to get close to my illness and my characteristics, and to understand the pain, and I was cheering for it.



The more I heard, the more this system was neither "early" nor "to be able to lead a peaceful life again".



The pamphlet of the system sent by the police department had a mountain of reduction provisions.



I feel that it is far from the system of developed countries aiming for a diverse society.



In addition, if you do not complete the procedure for receiving the crime damage benefit, you will not be able to apply for the scholarship of the crime damage relief fund for the crime victim orphans.



Also, as I learned as a party, even if a civil lawsuit can be filed in a criminal case, there are a lot of damages, fumitaoshi and fraudulent acts, and I have to fall asleep. I was surprised at the number of people.



Even if the perpetrator is uninsured, the government compensation is applied to the traffic accident, but there is no guarantee of the damage compensation for the crime damage.



It's not bad at all.



I didn't plan to die from this.



Even if there is only one victim, there are many times as many families and bereaved families as the victim.



There are many times more people who have been deprived of their purpose of life and whose lives have been destroyed.



But those people will continue to live.



I strongly feel that the fact that such a situation is left unchecked has hurt the dignity of the victims without any fault.



Immediately before the incident, her husband said, "I have a concrete path for how I will work in the future, so please ask me. I want you to make time to talk."



Unfortunately, I couldn't hear the plan from her husband, but I think there were days when I returned to work, raised my child to the fullest, and watched over the growth of my child together.



But she doesn't have a husband anymore.



It is unclear when and by what calculation standard the crime damage benefit will be paid.



Even so, I will work hard so that my child does not feel any inconvenience other than loneliness.
