It’s really sad when I see people take their lives… I lost a close friend earlier this year to suicide, and can’t ponder why he would leave such a good life.

Sometimes people feel they’re alone, and noone cares about their problems. Noone calls. Noone sends them emails. Noone talks to them, or asks how are you… everyone is busy with things. Sometimes we, as friends have to reach out and be proactive and give a nudge to someone we know, just ask how they are doing… make life not so lonely to others =)

The fact that they even need a sign is crazy. I mean who is going to look at that and think “wow counseling is available I’m not going to jump now”. I guess it keeps the ambulance chasers away.

People really seem to lose the excitement of life and end it with their own hands.

Living in the bay area, I read news stories about this all too often. It is very tragic and rips my heart out. I had not seen the sign the last time I was on the bridge, I am glad to know its there and hope that it helps or causes some people to rethink their decision.

The last time I walked the Golden Gate must have been before they put those signs up. It’s fascinating that so many use this bridge to end their lives, but very sad. I saw the documentary movie about it and it’s just hard to believe someone could bring themselves to do it.

Sorry to hear about the loss. Is this a bridge of the dead? I just hope and pray that the relatives of those who died on this bridge will somehow overcome their bad memories on it. I hope that they will still the wonderful views on it. It’s a wonderful spot after all.

I was there on 5/1/10. It was a beautiful afternoon. I have been wondering what happened. It’s been bothering me. Did he live?

WOW, I just was at the big Girl Scout Golden gate bridging event yesterday and that is how I stumbled upon this post. I just want to say that you do have good memories of crossing the bridge with Girl Scouts and hopefully you keep those same good memories forever! I am so sorry for your loss as I lost my brother to his terrible mental state and his not having the right mental help, which so many do not. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
