Forgiveness - www.sunnydawnjohnston.com

"To get to forgiveness, we first have to work through the painful experiences that require it."
-- Christiane Northrup
To forgive, we do not have to say that whatever happened was okay. In fact, before we can forgive, we need to allow ourselves to really feel the pain of the experience. If we don't fully acknowledge our hurts, we will continue to carry them subconsciously and they will drain our energy.
To forgive, we need to decide that we won't allow the memories of the event to poison us any longer. We're ready to heal this wound from the past and open to a fresh new beginning.
The blessing is that when we're really ready to experience our pain and we open to it, it usually fades away. By honouring our pain, we release it.
"We must let ourselves feel all the painful destruction we want to forgive rather than swallow it in denial. If we do not face it, we cannot choose to forgive it."
-- Kenneth McNoll

I recommend highly the book by Dr. Sidney B. Simon and Suzanne Simon, FORGIVENESS How to Make Peace @ith Your Past and Get on With Your Life. When one is ready, this is a powerful workbook, to be done at one's own pace, or perhaps in a group. It is amazing! Good luck to you. Forgiveness (and a return to the sunshine IS possible-you are among many friends!).
