What separates those who do it from those who know they need to but find themselves unable?

I wish I knew the answer. Maybe some have less SI than others especially when the pain becomes unbeatable. I read a story today where a man died jumping off a parking garage because his daughter has been missing for 3 weeks.
The thought of never seeing his daughter again was obviously more than he could bare.

He should've waited but after 3 weeks it's pretty obvious they're gone.

There is probably more to the story leaning towards her being dead. Poor guy:(

As someone who just flew half way across the country to CTB by jumping and couldn't - don't be hard on yourself.

It's insanely difficult and it turns out they were right when they said SI with jumping is the worst. The bridge I was at was 600 feet.. a long way down…

I visited the spot almost 10 times in 7 days and couldn't do it for one reason or another.. I hope I don't have to try this method again… looking into alternatives..

I hope you find peace.

Thanks for your reply. I was considering taking benzos which I suppose would work and then also really lean into my dark thoughts. I'm in this weird situation right now though that doesn't allow me to die, but it's a situation I can never get closure from either. It's why I couldn't even get near the bridge. This is maddening.

I'm looking into hanging. I have a good rope but it's a few yrs old. Don't know if that matters. I don't know where to hang from. I imagine si and intense anger at my situation will interfere.
