  There is no such widget.

  Please go directly to the detailed Forever theme description page and follow the instructions you find there http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forever/

  There you find instructions for “A Dramatic Personalized Home Page”. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forever/ Live demo site. http://foreverdemo.wordpress.com/
  You need sticky posts with featured images for the slider to display.

  The featured image size is critical. Featured Image (at least 887 pixels wide and height 355px)

  To show only your four latest posts (with a Featured Image above each one, of course) in a neat grid on your home page visit Appearance → Theme Options and click the checkbox there. Thumbnail on 4-column showcase for recent posts. Width 195px, maximum height 124px (cropped if larger).

  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options
