At the same time, I recognize that the barrier's really the final moment where you can make a difference. The lives stretch back in time, and there are all sorts of moments where people could have intervened. If we had a better health care system, better mental health services, we wouldn't be in the same position. The burden is on the bridge to put up a barrier, but it's also on all of us to take more responsibility for the people who need our help. (Cheryl Eddy)
