Monday, January 14, 2002 10:09 AM Victims compensation fund To Whom It May concern I am writing to you because I would like to know what the difference is between a grieving spouse and a grieving domestic partner who are interdependent on one another? Is my loss any different because I don't have a marriage certificate? Is my pain and suffering and economic loss less or insignificant because I wasn't married? Did I love my fiancee less than the next person loved their spouse? Did her paycheck pay bills or go for entertainment? Who decides who has a valid claim? Who decides what the value of that claim is? I understand there needs to be checks and balances but documented pain and suffering and economic loss of interdependent victims and domestic partners should be included in the claim process because we are no different than anyone else who lost a loved one.
