Press Release: PLIDA Congratulates IPBC Speaker and PLIDA Member on AJN Book of the Year Award
January 20, 2021
PLIDA would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Beth Perry Black, PhD, RN, FAAN for her 2020 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award. We asked Dr. Black to include a message about this honor.
I am so pleased to receive the AJN Book of the Year Award, 1st place in Professional Issues category, for Professional Nursing: Concepts and Challenges, 9th edition (Elsevier). This book represents my initial foray into editing and publishing – and it came about in an unexpected way. In the early 2000’s, I was teaching a discipline of nursing course in the UNC at Chapel Hill BSN curriculum and ran across the third edition of this book while selecting a textbook for the course. I was drawn to the book because of its variety of topics. On the back cover, Kay Chitty, the original editor, included her email address, so I reached out to her with some questions about the organization of the chapters. I heard back from her in a few days, with a surprising note. She was beginning to plan for retirement and was looking for someone with whom to co-edit two editions before signing over rights to the book to the new editor. That turned out to be me! Kay had looked up my publications and liked my writing style. I joined Kay on the 5th edition, and by the 7th edition, I was on my own as sole editor of Professional Nursing.
The book keeps me anchored in the nursing profession. Updated every three years, my challenge is to stay current with issues in the field, and to anticipate where nursing is heading. In 2005, I would have never dreamed of content on “ethical use of social media”! I work hard to use inclusive language and to represent in photos and narrative the wide variety of persons who comprise this great profession. I have welcomed feedback from both faculty and students in striving to improve each new edition.
My experience in editing and publishing Professional Nursing opened the door to my very rewarding collaboration with PLIDA members and friends Rana Limbo and Patricia Wright in developing Perinatal and Pediatric Bereavement in Nursing and Other Health Professions (Springer), which in 2016 won the AJN Book of the Year, first place in Palliative Care category. My extensive experience in editing led me to the fulfilling role I hold now in the UNC School of Nursing, where my appointment is as the editor for the Office of Research Support and Consultation. I work with my colleagues in preparing their proposals for NIH and other funding sources, and their manuscripts for submission.
A chance email to a book editor over a decade ago opened the door to career opportunities I never envisioned! “Luck” is sometimes defined as “when opportunity meets preparedness.” I have been very lucky – and increasingly prepared – thanks to the painstaking mentoring I received from Kay Chitty, who taught me with patience and good humor. The book of the year award for Professional Nursing served to remind me of both my luck and my privilege in shaping how our future nurses understand nursing.
On behalf of the entire PLIDA board, staff, and perinatal bereavement community, we are honored to have such an amazing network of experts serving to enrich PLIDA’s mission.

22nd International Perinatal Bereavement Conference - UPDATE
Thank you for your patience as we continued to monitor COVID-19 and its impact on our world and the way we function day to day. Over these last months PLIDA has been in contact with the Drake Hotel Chicago to assess their and our ability to host an in person conference. Although things were improving and restrictions were beginning to lift, that changed recently.
With the significant increase in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, reimplementation of restrictions and the vaccine distribution time line, we determined it is not feasible to host an in person conference in May 2021.
That said we have exciting news. The IPBC has been moved forward to October 12-15, 2022 in Denver, Colorado. Denver in the fall is stunning and by 2022 many of the current constraints will be lifted. We anticipate that we can host the type of conference we have all come to expect. One based on quality research, best practice information, relationship and learning together in a beautiful setting.
We are extending an invitation to all of the speakers both plenary and session, that were slated for Chicago, to present in Denver as they were strong and offered vital information that impacts our clinical practice and how we best care for our families. Those of you who were registered will have several options to consider. Over the next several weeks we will reach out to each of you both, speakers and registrants with the options available and the process moving forward.
Those of you who are recipients of a scholarship will retain your scholarship opportunity in Denver. As Chicago is an amazing city with much to offer our participants, will return to Chicago and the beautiful Drake Hotel in 2024. The Drake will be back in its glory with the tearoom bustling once again and all the energy of this wonderful city will be back for us to explore and enjoy.
Please be watching your email in early January for more information related to this change. Thank you again for your patience and support of PLIDA.
Best,
Gina Leigh Jones, RN, CPLC
PLIDA President
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. While 1 in 4 pregnancies end in a loss, many still suffer in silence. PLIDA’s mission is to promote the highest quality of consistent, evidence-based perinatal bereavement care for all families who experience the tragic loss of a baby. We express this mission by providing continuing education and the resources that care providers and parent advocates need to provide comprehensive and compassionate care to the families they serve.
To support those who care for bereaved families, please consider a donation of any amount. Every dollar counts toward helping PLIDA create a world-class conference, award scholarships, and provide resources and support to the professionals doing the critical work of caring for grieving families.
Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Alliance - Statement (August 14, 2020)
Black Lives Matter
Dear PLIDA members:
The organization is presenting three diverse pieces in the newsletter that are united in one theme: They make the case for how African Americans have been hurt professionally and as patients by discrimination based on the color of their skin. These materials underpin the statement on racism written by board member and neonatologist, Dr. Terri Major Kincade. The statement can be found on the PLIDA website and was published on August 14, 2020.
The three printed pieces include a story about journalist Bakari Sellers and his wife Ellen Rucker on racism in health care, and an apology from the American Academy of Pediatrics about the opposition the organization's first two Black physicians faced when they attempted to become members. Finally, the article cited below, along with its abstract, published in 2019, summarizes research findings that show Black women who decline procedures during childbirth express being given "poor treatment." Specifically,"...women pay a penalty for exhibiting behavior that may be perceived as uncooperative, and this penalty may be greater for Black women."
As the only perinatal bereavement member organization in the US, the Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Alliance believes that we must keep our members apprised of how systemic racism has cost many of our patient’s quality care and even their lives. PLIDA believes that education is the key to a future of equality, compassion, and awareness, especially for people of color. We also believe that all lives will matter when black lives matter. To that end, we extend our mission through ongoing communication with members, taking a stand to promote social justice, and adding these topics as key ingredients to our upcoming biennial conferences. All families regardless of their race or ethnicity have a right to expect to be cared for with best practices, compassion and humility.
Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Alliance - Statement (July 10, 2020)
Black Lives Matter
During our last IPBC conference we opened with a keynote addressing the legacy of loss in the African American community and how this legacy may inhibit our efforts as bereavement professionals to create safe spaces to honor the grief of marginalized populations. Little did we know two years ago where we would be today. Following that keynote address, PLIDA moved forward to establish a new committee to address Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (HEDI) in the areas of Pregnancy and Infant Loss. It is the desire of the board that PLIDA as an organization continue to be a leader in two specific ways. The first is describing and providing evidence-based perinatal bereavement care for all families who experience the death of a baby. The second is using PLIDA as a place to highlight, learn, and ameliorate gaps that may exist in providing comprehensive care with respect to race, gender, creed, and religion. We join our nation in the collective sigh, Enough is Enough.
As we move forward our hearts are heavy, but our resolve is strong as we promise to make a commitment to real change in diversity and inclusion within our body and within our communities. In an effort to ignite this change we offer this call to action and challenge each member to evaluate their programs and ways they can make a tangible difference. Our ultimate goal is to be a part of the solution and not an agency of the problem.
- Consider the populations you serve. Are there ways to increase diversity for your programs? Are there families of color who have experienced loss that have elected not to use your programs? Have you followed up as to why? How does what is happening now connect to mistrust of our programs? We recommend you watch Trevor Noah: The Broken Social Contract: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4amCfVbA_c
- Create safe spaces for your communities of color to share their grief and recognize that this is a part of a series of instances of grief on top of grief. This requires intentional work and collaborative discussion. More listening than talking. Anti-racism reading list and resources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BRlF2_zhNe86SGgHa6-VlBO-QgirITwCTugSfKie5Fs/preview?pru=AAABcrngt2A*L96Vhqd_7c6m89FzRMv-dg
- Educate yourself on the Black Lives Matter Movement, take a moment to actually read the collaborative goals of the organization, which was ignited by the death of Trayvon Martin. All lives cannot matter until Black Lives Matter. https://blacklivesmatter.com/
- Consider the following resources to understand what it means to be an ally, to be intentionally anti-racist. It is not enough to be not racist. If you see something say something. We are all going to have to become a little more uncomfortable to make true change. Silence is not acceptable. https://bethebridge.com/
https://www.embracerace.org/
- Is their bias in the way your programs enroll patients, follow up with patients, or observed instances where caregivers have judged the way patients manifest their grief or loss? If so, consider how to improve this beginning with cultural humility to include authentic conversations around racism. Understand that just by virtue of being in the United States our systems are imbued with systematic bias both implicit and explicit and this impacts the way we deliver care

PLIDA offers these five points, detailing resources for promoting self-awareness and transformation. PLIDA’s Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion committee (HEDI), chair Terri Major-Kincade, MD, would like to hear from you and your experiences to better guide their work to improve care for all families.
Through this project to make Black lives matter; we aim to make a difference in this international movement to fight racism. The goal is that by opening our hearts and minds, we will understand more fully what it means to be inclusive.
Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Alliance - Statement (June 9, 2020)
Black Lives Matter
Today is George Floyd's funeral where he will be laid to rest next to the mother he cried out to.
As an international organization committed to the support of bereaved families PLIDA understands the sound of collective grief. It is a sound that is simultaneously silent and deafening. Our members know what it is like to grieve in silence yet want to be heard. Our members know what it is like to suffer unimaginable pain in the loss of a child, and the toll that takes on family members. Our members know what it is like to desire allies for a problem that for many remains invisible, the pain of pregnancy and infant loss. It is through this lens, the lens of loss that PLIDA joins our nation in mourning the death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. Each died through a series of events stemming ultimately from the impact of systemic racism. It is through the lens of loss that PLIDA unequivocally supports the Black Lives Matter movement and calls for a systematic approach to ending police brutality. It is not enough for us to merely not be racist, but we must actively endeavor to be anti-racist. This will require more dedicated advocacy on behalf of the families we serve, bereaved families who may be voiceless at a time when we can be their voice in our respective organizations and institutions.
George Floyd’s final words that included “I can’t breathe” and “Mama, Mama”, is even more poignant when one considers how much we as an organization discuss the last breath in our perinatal hospice and bereavement support programs and the fact that Mr. Floyd’s mother has been deceased many years. In his words we are reminded of every mother who has lost a child and particularly mothers of color who are more likely to die in childbirth, more likely to experience a poor birth outcome and black men and black boys who have a higher likelihood of dying at the hands of police. There is no bereavement support for this kind of loss and our hearts ache along with the hearts of a community that has held this heartbreak for over 400 years. We want you to know that we see you. We grieve with you. We are devastated with you. As PLIDA Members, let us be on the side of the history that says” No more”. This is the legacy of loss we meet when seeking to align with our communities of color. This is the legacy we would like to be a part of dismantling. This is a legacy we can change by evaluating our own biases, in our own organizations and institutions and the way we provide bereavement care to our incredibly special and unique populations.
Please reflect on the words and ideas in this post. In future writing, we will guide and reflect with you on what we can do… as individuals, as family advocates, and through our organizations and institutions. We won’t stop here. We can’t.

Announcement: PLIDA Members Published in National Journal
Congratulations to Rana Limbo, PhD, and Marie Walter, RN, who were recently published in MCN, The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing.
Rana, PhD, RN, CPLC, FAAN, is senior consultant and associate director of Resolve Through Sharing (RTS). Rana is the past president of PLIDA.
Marie, MS, RN, C-EFM, CPLC, is lead educator and advance practice nurse, RTS. Marie is a PLIDA member, and an IPBC 2018 preconference and concurrent presenter.
Marie’s co-authored contribution, “Clinical Aspects of Miscarriage” and Dr. Limbo’s co-authored contribution, “Respectful Disposition after Miscarriage: Clinical Practice Recommendations” appear in the January-February special topics series on miscarriage.
“Marie’s article on the clinical aspects of miscarriage was selected to be published ahead of print,” Dr. Limbo says. “Additionally, the article was selected for reader continuing education credit.”
Dr. Limbo’s article was also selected to be published ahead of print. Additionally, she served as the guest editor, publishing an editorial titled “Miscarriage.” These things highlight the contribution Resolve Through Sharing® (RTS) makes to the professional world, affecting practice and patient experience far and wide.
While perinatal loss through miscarriage has been a central component of RTS education since its beginning in 1981, national and international attention to the impact of these losses and the need to improve care standards has recently been elevated. It is estimated that 777,000 miscarriages occur in the U.S. each year. Seen as a leader on the bereavement education front, RTS has responded by creating a miscarriage-specific educational opportunity that can serve as a stand-alone or complement to its existing trainings.
“These scholarly articles are especially important as RTS has recently launched a miscarriage-focused initiative we call It’s Never Too Early™ (INTE),” says RTS director Mary Beth Hensel, MBA. “It was premiered at our annual La Crosse National Training event last summer. We have been working with a Gundersen taskforce to review bereavement standards systemwide to identify gaps in care. Miscarriage, particularly occurring in the emergency department, has been flagged as an area where patients would benefit from an expanded application of RTS practice standards.”
