loss of trust

Faith has shattered

Loss of trust is the erosion or collapse of confidence in someone or something previously relied upon.

It typically follows betrayal, dishonesty, or repeated disappointment: The scandal caused a loss of trust in the institution.

Unlike a sudden breach, loss of trust often accumulates gradually—each broken promise or hidden truth wearing away at the foundation: There was no single moment, just a slow loss of trust over years.
