When parents and teens seek spiritual meaning together

My teenage son is asking deep questions about life and meaning that I don't have answers to, and my honest response is that I'm figuring it out too, but I'm scared that my uncertainty is failing him when he needs guidance. We're both seekers now but I'm supposed to be the parent and I don't know how to be wise when I feel lost myself.
