The precious time we shared with our daughter until she passed away.「わが子を看取る（英語字幕版）」

Video Description

Ichika Yoneda, a four-year-old girl with cancer lives with her mum, dad, and her younger sister Senri. While she was waiting for her brother to be born, she was told that she had only three months to live. With help from the family, we covered the story of Ichika and the family’s struggle, agonies, and the ultimate decision they made until she took her last breath. Her story takes place at “The Child Chemo House” located in Kobe city. Before moving to the clinic, Ichika was forced to live apart from her family, her mum had to rent an apartment near the hospital and her dad, who worked, could only visit her on weekends. All they wanted was “to live a normal life together”. They want to make their voices heard to improve child medicine via these three months of recordings. We’d like you to consider the hardships these families face during these difficult times.
