spiritual anguish
Deep inner turmoil
Spiritual anguish is deep distress involving questions of meaning, faith, or the soul—a crisis that touches core beliefs rather than surface emotions.
It may arise from loss of faith, moral failure, confrontation with death, or feeling abandoned by God: She experienced spiritual anguish after her child died.
The term suggests suffering that ordinary comfort cannot reach.
