ChiPPS–A Gold Mine for Pediatric Palliative Care The Children’s Project on Palliative/Hospice Services (ChiPPS) is NHPCO’s pediatric leadership council. Since 1998, it has been committed to making the best-known practices more widely available to healthcare providers and increasing the availability of state-of-the-art services for families. The ChiPPS e-newsletter is one important way it helps share best-known practices. Each issue includes a range of articles on a specific theme. For example, the May 2011 issue, in which Dr. Rhoades’ article appeared, features the following articles on pediatric bereavement issues: • School Pictures: Parent, Scott Newport, writes about poignant moments in his bereavement journey. • This is Not a Club You Would Join: Pediatric social worker, AnnPatrice Foley, LMSW, provides insights from bereaved parents. • We Will Always Be Parents of a Baby: Jane Fleming, MPM, shares her : experience in facilitating an infant-loss support group. • Loss in International Adoption: Trish Benton, LSW, CT, describes her : experiences as an expectant adoptive mother whose baby is tragically injured. • When Life’s Novel is Cut Short: The Compassionate Friends executive director, Patricia Loder, writes about day-by-day survival after the death of a child. • Complicated Bereavement and the Power of Forgiveness: Karen Painter, LMHC, addresses aspects of complicated grief and suggests clinical approaches when a family is experiencing multiple losses. • When a Parent is Dying: Liz Sumner, RN, BSN, provides data on the number of children impacted by the illness and death of a significant person in their lives, and offers guidance for adult-focused hospice programs on supporting them. • Benefits of Bereavement Follow-up Phone Calls: Jill K. Wilke, BSN, RN, and Rana K. Limbo, PhD, RN, PMHCNS-BC, provide a history and overview of the Resolve Through Sharing (RTS) model.
