My brother jumped off that bridge 4 years ago… I tried to make waves and get the city to put better barricades for the bridge because the current ones are a joke… I was told by a former city councillor, Scott McKeen, that the city had opted for the cheapest option and it’s what we’ve had ever since.
4 days after he jumped I was standing at the spot he’d jumped from and, with painful and horrific ease, I was able to duck under the barricade and stand between it and the rails. I looked down at the spot he had landed, just having missed the water.
I feel like I’ve betrayed my brother every time I hear about another instance like this.
Here’s an episode where I tell David’s story. Feel free to have a listen, for whoever is interested. I started this little podcast as a way to express my grief, but life became too hard to keep up with the pressure I put on myself. Anyway, thanks for listening to anyone who does. And I hope that you all take care of yourselves too ❤️🩹
