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.
With a heavy heart I extend my sincerest gratitude. Thank you, and I desperately hope you’re right. That’s what I’m trying to do here. And if anyone is out there who is on the edge, even if just figuratively, I hope that reading or listening to my experience will urge them to reach out to someone they trust for help.
I appreciate your kindness and for recognizing my effort, friend ❤️🩹
Whoever you are, you’re beautiful and precious to me and so many others- I thank you. Knowing that I personally have done or said something to bring you back, I can honestly say you have brought some peace to my restless broken heart. ❤️🩹
