In what has become a topic of national conversation in Japan, a grieving mother publicly addresses the secondary harm her family experienced following her eldest son's tragic accident death. This unforeseen emotional trauma, inflicted not by the loss itself, but by societal and administrative issues post-accident, has been shared in order to raise awareness and call for systemic changes. The specifics of the accident, the extent of the secondary harm, and the mother's proposed suggestions to tackle such issues still remain undisclosed.

In Japan, traffic accidents and the ensuing bureaucratic and societal processes can sometimes exacerbate the grief of families already dealing with loss. The issue of secondary harm—further damage caused after the incident—is widely recognized and is increasingly being brought to the forefront of social and legal discussions.

Unlike Japan, the US and EU place a strong emphasis on victim support services following accidents, ranging from psychological counselling to legal aid. However, it cannot be disregaided that victims also face their own unique challenges in Western societies, such as stigma and lack of adequate policy framework for support.
