When couples find different faiths after losing a child

My wife and I started attending different services after our son died and now we're essentially practicing separate faiths in the same house and we don't know how to talk about the fact that we're grieving God differently. Every Sunday feels like we're choosing sides in a war neither of us wanted to fight.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Grief has led them to seek the sacred in opposite directions, and they fear their spiritual divergence is creating an unbridgeable chasm in their marriage.
