When family members choose different spiritual paths after loss

Our family used to pray together every night when we were kids, but after Dad died, Mom stopped believing and my sister found Buddhism and I went evangelical and now we can barely get through holidays without someone feeling judged. We all miss what we had but don't know how to honor each other's different paths.
