According to Pew, nearly one quarter of Americans claim “none” as their religious affiliation, with nearly a third reporting that they seldom or never attend church. Historically, religious communities and faith traditions helped the grieving with structure and ritual that provided comfort, community, compassion, and a way to seek meaning in what might otherwise seem meaningless. How then are those of us without a strong faith community able to find support after the death of a loved one? Creating meaningful ritual is one way to express one’s grief as we walk hesitantly into the future.
