When couples grieve spiritually in opposite directions

My wife and I both lost our fathers this year, and we're grieving completely differently - she's finding comfort in the faith we used to share, while I'm feeling more distant from God than ever. We keep trying to support each other but our different spiritual responses to loss seem to be creating more distance between us instead of bringing us closer, and I don't know how to grieve together when grief is taking us in opposite directions.
