When couples struggle with different responses to tragedy and faith

My husband and I lost our daughter in a car accident two years ago and we're both still believers but we believe completely different things now about why God let this happen and neither of us can pray with the other anymore. We sit in the same pew every Sunday but we might as well be in different universes and I don't know how to bridge this gap between his anger at God and my need to find meaning in her death.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who shared a faith are discovering that suffering has fractured their spiritual worlds in incompatible ways.
