RE: ULOG 5: PTSD, Death, Worry, Hope, and Prayers
awww.. thanks for sharing those stories! And thank God he is alive! Just praying that he will get help very soon and I know it is very hard for a mother but the important thing is for your son to find his own way and path and want to do it for himself (find help etc)
Is it possible for a petition to happen for that bridge to have fencing all around it so people cant climb it to jump? like those wire fencing I see on the sydney harbour bridge.
Thank you so much, @vincy. I appreciate your help and support so much.
The bridge has "issues" due to the construction method, winds, height, and weight limitations. There is no room for a path like you show. It is 5 lanes and no path at all.
Here you see a photo from one of the annual bridge walks where they close off a couple of lanes and people walk over for charity. There is only about 9 inches to spare and even I could easily get over that edge if so inclined.
When you are diving in even medium winds you have to struggle to not crash into the side and there are always skid marks from other cars that were not so lucky.
I've been in the "protect the bridge" group for years - we have done petitions and no one signs. Suicide is an issue people prefer to ignore until it hits home. We try to publicize the deaths and attempts so at least people know they are happening.
But now we have the ear of the state government at least. They supposedly do not have the money for this. They are working on protecting Death Bridge Number One right now in San Francisco and that is WAY over budget and very delayed.
That’s so frustrating and hard! Not to mention traumatising! Praying for all the support groups in the area near the bridge and for children to be loved and looked after so they do not think this is an option! 😣😣😢

Thank you so much, @vincy. Traumatizing is the right word for this bridge indeed.
