Coming Together with Mothers who Love the Lord.
A Journey That Heals: Markie Ribera's Story
Hosted By Dr. Kimber Wilkes
Markie Ribera shares her deeply personal experience with loss and the meaningful steps toward growth, healing, and legacy. In this session, she explores essential themes including building a foundation of faith, finding acceptance, and using practical tools to navigate the complex coexistence of joy and sadness. She also reflects on the delicate balance of clinging and being clung to as we walk the path of grief together.
Markie grew up with a deep foundation of faith and built a life with her husband, Carlos. In February 2022, their lives were forever changed when all four of their children passed away. Markie credits the Lord with sustaining their marriage and guiding them toward a depth of healing that only He can provide. Today, she walks forward with joy and sadness held hand in hand, serving others who are experiencing loss.
Our monthly Zoom workshops are now pre-recorded so you can watch and reflect at your own pace. New workshops will be added here as a lasting resource.

Coming Together with Moms Events
Coming together with mothers who love the Lord and want Him to use them to help other mothers who like themselves, have lived through the devastation of their child’s death? Imagine the light these mothers can bring into that dark place of loss that so many endure each day without the understanding of someone who has been there.
This coming together is to lift up, bringing a smile to a face that has endured far too many tears. This group provides a link to a future that cannot be imagined from the depths of despair.
The sharing of faith as well as bright memories and photos, aid in clearing away the debris of guilt, anger, or depression, to focus on the strength that coming together with an understanding friend can bring.
This is Umbrella Ministries. We’d love for you to share in the positive, upward and onward momentum that Umbrella Ministries offers, mother to mother, heart to heart.
