How Do You Forgive?

It's such an easy question, but it can be an almost impossible answer. I know this won't be a long post, but let's collectively as a group, think about it. Consider someone who has harmed you – did you forgive them? And I mean really forgive them, not the "forgive, but not forget" kind of forgiveness (which isn't true forgiveness).

I mean truly letting it all go, wishing them the best, and genuinely meaning it kind of forgiveness. As we dive into this, I want to hear how people who went out of their way to harm you (IF you're ok to tell me. I know first hand out hard it is to talk about things sometimes). What kind of support can we offer each other? Advice? Or even hard truths?

In my case, four people drove me to suicide. Though, the three were intricately involved, their roles, levels, and wickedness were uniquely differen and I had to build my forgiveness in layers and approach them in different phases of my recovery; which let me tell you, was an interesting roller coaster emotionally.

Normaly, I'd dive into my blog topics, but as I am typing this, I realize that I want to give this a little more thought to see if I even fully can grasp the answer myself: How Do You Forgive?

From this, I hope two things happen. One, many of you learn something valuable. And two, I hope I find out if I have truly forgiven the people who drove me to suicide; and if not, at least I'll know, and this will let me work on the areas that I'm still lacking. I've been so caught up in my new life that I honestly haven't challenged myself lately to see if my forgiveness still stands, and I'm honestly so excited to find out.

Be Back Soon :)
