Grief and Forgiveness
Forgiveness plays a big role in your move beyond grief. We tend to think that forgiveness is about condoning a wrong. That’s not what I am saying. That just does not feel right.
Sometimes grief becomes entangled with guilt. There can be guilt about things said to the deceased person that we wish we had not said. There can also be guilt for the things we did not say.
These feelings of guilt can consume you with personal resentment and pain. The guilt can lead to feelings of being unable to forgive yourself or others.
You may even feel guilty about a past issue which you had resolved with your loved one. You can still see what I call the giant SHOULD in the sky.
Forgiveness is about letting go of the past. Forgiveness is about freedom from the past. Forgiveness is about people, not what they do. Forgiveness is about telling the truth in order to MOVE BEYOND GRIEF.
