When You Can't Forgive

Forgiving someone who hurt you is not something you can force, and the pressure to do it quickly can make the original wound harder to heal. Working through what happened at your own pace, without requiring forgiveness as the finish line, is a legitimate and often healthier path. If you are sitting with anger or grief that does not seem to move, that is not a failure, it may be exactly what this kind of hurt requires.
