EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE "NORMAL"...
Ann Silvey’s story is one of unexpected turns, heartbreak, and the relentless grace of God.
Raised to be strong and self-reliant, Ann carried the unspoken belief that if life fell apart, it was her responsibility to fix it. That belief was tested through some of her hardest seasons. She walked through the challenges of a marriage that faced more storms than she ever anticipated. She carried the invisible weight of trying to hold everything together while quietly wondering if she was “enough.”
Then came the phone call that would shatter life as she knew it. Her father’s sudden and tragic death left her reeling. Only weeks later, she found herself stepping into the role of caregiver for her mother, who was left with 37 staples across her scalp after a devastating fall. For 15 months, Ann cared for her mother around the clock—grieving, questioning, and often wrestling with God about trust.
SHE CAME TO A CRISIS POINT...
There were moments she thought she might never trust Him again. Yet it was in those raw and painful nights that Ann began to discover a deeper truth: God never asked her to carry it all alone. Slowly, she learned how to release her grip, cast her burdens, and let Him rebuild her from the inside out.
Today, Ann speaks from the other side of those valleys. Her message is not theory—it’s testimony. She knows the crushing weight of responsibility, the ache of loss, and the strain that seasons of struggle put on a marriage. And she knows the freedom that comes when you stop striving in your own strength and begin walking in God’s.
Ann doesn’t just tell stories—she opens the door for women to recognize themselves in her journey. Her audiences lean in because she has lived what she teaches: that even in the midst of tragedy and transition, God is faithful to restore, to heal, and to guide us into what’s next.
