GIVING UP THE HOPE THAT THE PAST COULD BE ANY DIFFERENT! -
When I train facilitators for parenting I lead a session on forgiveness. People share about a religious requirement of 3 days to forgive - that we cannot remain in a state of upset, anger, furious, rage, hurt, sad, towards someone that hursts you. And I hear so many stories and journeys people have taken in forgiving from people whose child has been killed to victims whose fathers have sexually abused them.
Even though I teach and lead these sessions there are incidents that I too grapple with and it takes me long time - first to get over the trauma before I can forgive the person who hurt me.
Would like to hear your stories.
