When children reject their family's faith

My teenage daughter and I used to share a faith tradition, but she's rejected everything we raised her with and I'm struggling between respecting her autonomy and grieving the loss of this connection we had. Every conversation about values or meaning turns into her feeling attacked and me feeling like I failed her somehow.
