Meet Karen Krehbiel
Karen Krehbiel is a wife, mother, and now, author—called to share her family’s journey through the hardest storm of their lives.
Born and raised in Oklahoma, Karen lived a life rooted in faith, family, and community. When her husband, Jeff, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, Karen turned to journaling as a way to process the emotional and spiritual weight of the experience. Together with Jeff’s own entries, these writings became And the Rain Came Tumbling Down.
Through her story, Karen hopes to offer comfort to those walking through grief, illness, or uncertainty, and to shine a light on the solid ground found in Christ alone.
“Our story is not just about loss—it’s about the strength that comes from faith, family, and the grace to carry on.”
