Hey there, Dragonfly! Welcome aboard!
As someone who has also grown up under the thumb of Christianity I completely sympathize with what you’re going through. Losing that god/heaven safety net -as imaginary as it turned out to be- can be pretty upsetting, even devastating.
You’ve lost a significant figure, one you relied on for all kinds of support. The good news is, like Khem said, that was all you to begin with. You’ve got that same strength to do things and move on, you just don’t need that supernatural crutch anymore.
I hope you stick around, and good luck! We’re happy to talk with you anytime.
