Therese Schoeneck founded HOPE FOR BEREAVED, Inc. in 1978 after the death of her daughter, Mary, in a car accident. At the time, Central New York did not have a support group available for parents dealing with the death of a child. Determined that something positive would come from Mary's death, she formed a bereaved parents’ support group. Eventually, her efforts blossomed into the creation of Hope for Bereaved, Inc.--a not-for-profit community organization that is dedicated to providing its programs and services free-of-charge to grieving children, adults and families in our community. HOPE also offers grief workshops for daycare providers and on-site bereavement support for employers dealing with grief in the workplace.
