If I drive off one day never to return and park my car by a bridge with frequent guests and then jump, what would happen in my absence?

[Weebster]

I would be reported missing and then what?

Uh well they'd find your car quickly and eventually determine suicide. Is that your question? There's no way to answer this beyond that, any answer is just massive speculation, and I don't really see the point in that…?

Depends a lot on where you are located.

Your family would likely report you missing, in time your car will be found and they will look for you or your body.

If your body is not found, your family will have the hassle of trying to have you declared dead. This can be a very long process (in some places, I'm talking years.) Your estate cannot be settled without a death certificate, so your phone will continue to ring as bill collectors try and track you down.

IMO, it's a really mean thing to do to your family and friends. If you're planning to jump in a place where you will not likely be found, please leave a note in your car making your intentions clear. At least then they won't always wonder...

My family would know upon hearing of my disappearance that I'm dead

God would be saddened, Satan would be happy, and no one except a few family and/or friends would care or even miss you. Or were you asking more about functionally not socially?

Perhaps I am just too sensitive, but I don't think saying that not many people would miss them isn't the best way to put it. Even if it is true or not. But to be honest, none of us can predict the emotional reactions after a ctb.

I think most people here are at the point where we don't care about anything other than finding peace. Even if that saddens god

Good point - I have grown very pessimistic about people, but should probably just let that stay with me instead of projecting outwards. Thanks

Agreed - will work on keeping thoughts to myself going forward. Thanks

No problem bud. It's very hard to not be pessimistic about people. I don't think less of you if I need to make that clear, I have done more of my fair share of projecting.
