If you're looking for support, UUism is a good place for it (in general, anyway). The 4th Principle that UUs affirm is the free and responsible search for truth; everyone has the right, and perhaps the obligation, to figure things out for themselves, no matter what others say. If you're looking for the truth, let traditions inform and illuminate your looking, not bind it and constrain you to the conventional.
I have a couple of books to recommend to you that might help as well. One is The Emptying God: A Buddhist-Jewish-Christian Conversation. It literally is a look into how Christianity and Buddhism can come into dialogue with each other and benefit. You might also look into The Phoenix Affirmations to see what a more open, pluralist, and liberal Christianity might look like. It's a set of statements (and discussions) that were proposed and adopted by a meeting of Christians from all the mainline Protestant denominations. They outline a new, emergent form of Christianity that still seeks to love God, Neighbor, and Self, but does so in a way that is free and affirming rather than condemnatory. The pluralism/universalism of the First Affirmation you might find particularly interesting.
Best wishes, and I'm sorry for your loss.
