J.B.’s Amateur Blog
This web site is dedicated to the memory of our daughter, Casey Joanna Brooks, who ended her life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge on Tuesday January 29, 2008.
Thus far, this site contains several writings and an audio clip which chronicle my personal experience of losing the most precious thing in my life.
It is important for me to get Casey’s story out to as many people as possible, so I’m sharing my work with you in the hopes that you can pass it on to others and, hopefully, find a broader voice in a public venue to share with others who suffer their tragic losses alone and apart from the world around them.

Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God,
RFK quoting Aeschylus
When you have come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen. There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.
