spiritual abyss
Profound existential emptiness
A spiritual abyss is a state of profound emptiness or disconnection from meaning, faith, or purpose.
The phrase suggests not just doubt but a deep void—the sense of falling through darkness with nothing to hold onto: After his wife died, he descended into a spiritual abyss.
Often implies crisis rather than mere skepticism.
