- an understanding or belief of how things work and faith in those beliefs
- a procedure/protocol/rules to follow in these types of situations that may help with moving on (or coping) at the begining
- a belonging to a community/congregation/group that helps out with other day to day things while a person is going through these situations
- a belonging to a communit/congregation/group that a person can turn to to find other people to talk to that have gone through similar situations

But all this can exist whether the person is of faith or not.
Agreed.

And DaveOrion, for the record, I never thought there were that many differences between us, in the first place. Glad to see you back in these parts, in any case!
