Jennifer Silvera
Anyone who has lost a loved one whether through sickness or tragedy soon realizes there is nothing easy about grief and nothing simple about loss. There is little that motivates us, moves us or means much to us after experiencing severe devastation and disappointment from life. Yet, one of the best therapies towards healing is to “Do Something” – to find and follow the passion that remains inside of us no matter how small it may feel.
On October 22, 2009; Jennifer Silvera, widow of Lino Lakes Police Officer Shawn Silvera, will explain that A Greater Yes does not replace or justify the loss, instead it helps us choose how to fill our one precious life. In a community event hosted by Roberts Family Funeral Home, Jennifer will talk about A Greater Yes that is in store for the life that remains in us.
The event, held at the Roberts Family Funeral Home, is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:45pm, Jennifer will speak at 7pm. Following her talk, Jennifer will be available to sign copies of her book BELIEVE – A Young Widow’s Journey Through Brokenness and Back.
In September of 2005, Jennifer Silvera opened her front door to three uniformed police officers delivering a devastating message: her husband, Shawn had been killed in the line of duty. From this place of tragic loss, followed by unimaginable grace, love and ongoing restoration, Jennifer brings her message of encouragement.
