Struggling to understand the full mechanics of forgiving people: would like outside opinions.
Not actively angry anymore...Check!
I understand their childhood, their upbringing, and I understand WHY they were the way they were...Check!
If that person were alive today, I would hug them...Check.
WHILE that person was alive I bent over backwards to take awesome care of her...Check!
But I am still struggling to forget. I don't forget all the things she did, and I tell stories about what she did.
Does that mean that on some level, I don't forgive her?
