The former nurse who supports mentally handicapped people along with her husband in Urakawa, Hokkaido adds, "From now on, new hardship will be born one after another, too."  But she takes a firm stand.

From the sentences written by her in ""What Lies Beyond The Dead End"  edited byTomisaka Christian Center.
