spiritual suffering

Spiritual suffering refers to a deep sense of inner turmoil or disconnection related to one’s beliefs, purpose, or sense of meaning in life. It often manifests as feelings of emptiness, despair, or a loss of hope, and can be driven by questions about existence, moral conflicts, or a sense of separation from oneself, others, or a higher power. Unlike physical pain, it is experienced internally and can influence one’s emotional well-being and sense of fulfillment. Addressing spiritual suffering often involves reflection, seeking connection, or finding new meaning to restore inner harmony.
