Relentlessly Resilient Podcast

Resiliency is not what we think: David and Chalece Neilsen on enduring a premature newborn death and the meaningful but complex journey toward resiliency


Listen Later

In 2014, David and Chalece Neilsen were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby when it was discovered that their little girl suffered from a rare form of cancer. She was born prematurely at 25 weeks and given the name Allison Faith. After a fortnight in a NICU incubator under excellent doctor care, the Neilsens’ held their baby for the first and last time as she passed away. The couple each mourned in their own way, leaning heavily on the support of friends and family. And as they continued to struggle with infertility issues, they discovered that Resiliency is not what we think. They join this episode of Relentlessy Resilient to share how it is worth fighting for resilience and peace in the hardest of trials.

Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
