When couples lose their shared beliefs but can't talk about it

My husband and I both lost our faith around the same time but we've been pretending everything is fine with our families and even with each other, like we're protecting each other from admitting how lost we feel. We keep going through the motions of who we used to be and I don't know how to start the conversation about who we're becoming.

What we've seen

Two people are grieving the same loss separately instead of together because acknowledging it out loud makes it real.
