69-year-old woman arrested over death of ailing husband

Murdering witch. She was worn out, was she? Poor little dear. And what of her husband? Hope she goes away for a long time

Rewind, change names, places and dates, repeat scenario. Being a full time carer of an ailing elderly person with no support or escape is a very difficult situation. I'm wondering how long Vince Black could put up with it until he cracked.

Having passed the age of 69, I can say that to kill someone is equally difficult at any age.

Age has very little to do with this, except that it must have weighed on her mind, and she probably feared that she would not have the physical strength to do it in later years. My wife constantly looks forward like this.

Perhaps they had not been able to pay into the government's old-age nursing scheme. (?)

zichi - Home help is available as are daycare centers and homes for the aged

Unfortunately, they are only for those who can afford them. There is no way the average retiree can afford them on their pittance pension.

I pay my Kaigo and also have a home care card and can get help if I ever need it. Zichi-san is correct.

@Disillusioned

Hope you're not advocating for murdering your elderly s/o under the the circumstances. That is in fact illegal in Japan and could get you deported. :)

No sympathies from me whatsoever.

Murdering someone is never an option.

Dear Japan,

Please fix the problems the Yutori generation Japanese people because this has a been a problem ever since the 2018 record high child abuse case
