When couples lose faith together but grieve differently

My husband and I are both grieving the loss of our faith at the same time but in completely different ways and it's isolating us from each other when we most need connection. He's angry and I'm just empty and neither of us knows how to support the other through something we're both experiencing so differently.

The deeper question

Two people sharing the same loss discover that grief is not a bridge but a territory each must navigate alone together.

Concept: shared grief
