When friends take different spiritual paths after losing faith together

My best friend and I both lost our faith around the same time and bonded over that shared crisis, but now she's found her way back to church and I'm still searching and there's this awkward distance between us that neither of us knows how to bridge. We used to talk about everything but now there are these careful silences around the thing that once brought us closer.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The sacred bonds of shared doubt can become strained when companions find themselves on divergent paths of seeking.
