**We must choose to forgive. It’s not something we “learn” to do or “process over time.”

Forgiveness is a choice and until we make that choice, healing does not begin.**

You are so right. There are several ways to go about this, but we have to learn it.

I always taught my children to say (rather than I’m sorry.) “Please forgive me.” I don’t think it was lost in their upbringing.

We as adults might do well to mimic that verbage also.

I agree with you completely.

To say we have to “learn” to forgive delays having to take responsibility for choosing not to.
