The Bershé Hope Foundation is a non-for profit organization

WELCOME!

The Bershé Hope Foundation is a non-for profit organization committed to providing resources and support to those struggling with the loss of their spouses/ domestic partners, as well as the children they leave behind. Our mission is to impact and influence the quality of life for families experiencing a loss and to be the stable presence that’s initially needed. Grief is a thief, it steals the breadth of life and leaves devastation behind. Coping with the loss of a spouse is often one of the difficult challenges in life, whether your spouse dies young, old or somewhere in between. The surviving spouse now faces many challenges in coming to terms with a life without their friend and partner. The children that are left behind face a tough journey as well with the loss of their parent. We want to help you cope with your pain and help you find hope for the future. In the days immediately following the loss, you may need everything from advice on finances to a home-cooked meal. We offer hard and soft support, practical and emotional guidance, education, hope, promise… and even that shoulder to cry on. Spouses and domestic partners of all ages, as well as their children, friends and their families will also find comfort and helpful advice for creating and leading fulfilling lives after a painful loss.

What should I do after a loss:

Holidays and Special Days

Your life is changed and changing. The calendar will have a different effect on you as your wedding anniversary, Valentines’ Day, special events, birthdays, and holidays come around. These dates must be dealt with. Plan ahead for them and do what you want to do. Don’t let yourself be manipulated by family and friends.
