Shirlene Roberts

FREDERICK, MD - Shirlene Roberts is a talented and gifted woman. She is passionate about Jesus. Her gift is to encourage others as she does daily. She enjoys helping at her local church and in her community. She is a teacher and now an author. Unfortunately, she has the pain and sudden loss of her beloved husband, but she has made it through to the other side of widowhood. Her life will never be the same, but life can go on. "Though he slays me yet will I trust him" Job 15:13

When I look at all the seasons that take place on the earth, they are reflective of all of the seasons we go through in our lives. We have a winter, spring, summer and fall. Everybody loves spring when things are blossoming and growing. Everyone looks forward to summer when everything is bright and cheery and restful. Some folks even enjoy fall when the colors are changing. But it's hard to find someone who loves the winter months. My faith is rooted in knowing that even while it has been a cold winter in my life, spring is still coming. We can trust God even when we are at the crossroads in life trying to figure out is this God or is this the enemy I am facing? God is worth the wait!  Have the faith of Job in spite of your condition. Resolve in your heart that "Though he slay me, yet I will trust him."

Shirlene has three daughters and six grandchildren and lives a full an active life.

It was very, very good. I knew your story almost from beginning to end. I am super excited that you were able to put it on paper and the book has been therapeutic for you. I miss Roger so much and I can almost imagine what life would be like if he were with us. However, God’s plan is a perfect plan.”— Robin

“It’s a book of love and loss. I couldn’t put it down.”— Carlton

MOVING FORWARD: FREDERICK WOMAN HELP'S OTHERS DEAL WITH GRIEF

FREDERICK WOMAN CREATES SUPPORT
GROUP FOR WIDOW'S HELPS OTHERS

FREDERICK, MARYLAND

FREDERICK, Md. (DC News Now) — Shirlene Roberts was married to her husband for four years before he unfortunately passed away.

But from her grief, she found a new calling to help others to share their love story.

“I started documenting everything that I was feeling, and then I started documenting memories and I realized that God had given us memories so that we could be able to help others,” Roberts said. “It wasn’t just the memory for me, I realized at some point that other people could gain something from that.”

Roberts then decided to take it further by creating an eight-week widows grief support group, where women can come and talk with others who can relate to them. 

“It’s important for people to understand that grief is about you,” Master Life Coach, Sandra Boujai said. “It’s not about the person that’s gone and that you have to work your way through it, you can’t skip over it.”

Barbara Thompson lost her husband in 2013, and since has been attending the support group. She said the group has taught her the ability to seek comfort in other people.

“What these ladies do is they give you the tools to work through whatever process that needs to be worked through,” Thompson said. “You learn that I’m going to allow myself to feel this and then what tools I need to find that thing, whatever it is to help me through this.”

“I personally truly think that if you can go through your grief in a proper way you can come out on the other side and still be a solid person,” Roberts said.
