Any Comfort for UU's During Crisis?

How does being a Unitarian bring comfort during a time of crisis? That has been on my mind for years and now as I head straight into another personal crisis moment it is brought back.

First of all I would say it depends on the church community that you have around you. Which would be true to all church goers of any denomination. Some churches are more helpful then others. Some people are more helpful.

That isn't the focus of the questions though really. The question is how does being UU help? What comfort is there in our religious faith. The quick answer, for me, is none. It actually leads to more questions then answers. I don't feel comforted by my religious affiliation. There are no answers to my big questions. There is no practical advice or faith to fall back on.

This may be different for different Unitarians. They may find faith in one of the spiritual paths that are embraced by UU's. I question then though how is that being comforted by being UU? If you are a UU Christian and you find faith in Jesus during your difficult moments what part of being Unitarian are you relying on except the ability to BE Christian within another denomination.

I am asking about the big things, death, why do bad things happen, war, famine, etc. Big trials and personal trials that are hard to accept. This is dark night of the soul kind of stuff and my question is what comfort is there in being Unitarian while you are struggling with these difficult situations.

I know I am looking for answers and I want to find them in my UU faith, but I feel that it is lacking. How does this work for you?
