It is difficult to hear others when we are so consumed by our own pain. It takes a lot of courage and strength to say "Yes I have been hurt and I'm in pain, but I want to understand how things went wrong." Give yourself the space to heal, to hear what the other person has to say. Forgiveness is the gift you give to yourself. It does not mean you agree or condone the behaviour. Forgiveness allows you to heal from your pain and the hurt you're experiencing. Forgiveness gives you peace in your life. You retain the choice to remain in a state of anger or you can process the events and come to terms that you can bring peace back into your life through forgiveness. Conflict is unfortunately part of being human. But you get to choose to forgive or hold on to your anger. It is difficult to forgive but forgiving brings peace back into your life.
