Why do I feel lost without religious community?
Relationships & Divorce
Religious communities provide belonging, support, and shared purpose; feeling lost without them is normal, and new communities can be built around shared values.
Religious communities often provide a sense of belonging, shared life purpose, and built-in support system that can be hard to replace. Feeling lost without this community is completely normal and represents a real loss that deserves to be grieved. Look for communities built around shared values, interests, or causes you care about. This might include volunteer organizations, hobby groups, philosophical societies, or online communities of people with similar spiritual journeys.
