When close friends' spiritual journeys diverge and mutual support becomes complicated

My best friend and I both went through spiritual crises last year, but hers led her to a very structured religious community while mine led me away from organized religion entirely. We're trying to support each other but keep saying the wrong things, and I feel like we're losing our ability to comfort each other in the way we always have.
