When families must guide children spiritually while questioning their own beliefs

Our family stopped saying grace or observing any traditions when my dad died five years ago and now my teenage daughter is asking questions about faith and spirituality that none of us feel equipped to answer. We're all in different places with belief and we don't know how to guide her without pretending to have certainty we don't possess.
