I know you don't believe in anymore, but I do. So I'll pray for you anyway anon. (And I don't know what your faith background was, but praying quite often is just speaking into that endlessness, into that quiet -- just talking to God like you would a friend, for the good stuff and the bad).

Anyway, I hope things improve for your family member and your general state as well if you're not in a good place.

I know how you feel anon. :(
I wish I could believe, too but I just can't make myself... the world is definitely scarier that way, cause even a God (or Gods) who doesn't care means that there is at least *something* - especially after death. Death has gotten so much more terrifying now that I don't believe in anything afterwards anymore as I did when I was still a child.

It’s okay and totally valid to feel this way anon. I’m pagan and sometimes feel like my prayers don’t even reach my patron, though there’s part of me that does.

But you don’t need to follow a deity (G*d or gods) to wish well for people in your life. It’s human.

Sometimes, for some people, philosophy or meditation can offer comfort when religion cannot.

Here is a link to a Youtube video:

The video encourages people to think about asking for help or encouragement without ever referencing any specific religion or creed. I think it’s quite clever, really.

Courtesy of your friendly neighborhood atheist/borderline agnostic.

I wish you and yours well.

I grew up in a churchgoing (but not super, super into it) household and I actually found that I love Norse paganism.

There are communities for Hellenic and other pantheons too, if you look around.

You can still wish them well or imagine sending them good vibes.

I am an atheist through and through, but I do think it would be comforting to be able to pray and feel like it may actually have some power to affect your situation.

I will sometimes "pray" to the void, or wish on "lucky omens," but no part of me actually believes it's doing anything. It's purely a self-comforting behavior.

I kind of understand this sentiment. Especially as a hard-lined atheist myself.
