Scenario

When a faith community fractures after traumatic loss

Our whole friend group met in youth ministry and we used to talk about everything through a faith lens, but since Jake died by suicide we're all questioning everything we believed about God's love and none of us knows how to be together anymore. Some of us are angry at God, some are clinging harder to church, and some have just disappeared entirely.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared belief that once bound people together becomes a source of division when tragedy challenges the foundation of what they thought they knew.
