This is a really spot on meme for me, thanks for sharing it.

And I was very sorry to read about your friend. You know my 1st husband killed himself decades ago. I held a lot of limited ideas regarding suicide for many years because of my pain and ignorance. Healing takes many forms for sure. Many hugs, friend.

Can relate to this meme alot. Thank u for sharing There have been instances in my past where i never got that apology for what was done to me. For the longest time, i felt like id never get closure bcuz they didnt admit their wrongdoings. Came to realize that I was only continuing the hurt by allowing it to consume me and hurt me (even long after the incident was over). I had a choice. To keep suffering while waiting for them to acknowledge what they had done, or to forgive them and move on. Forgiving them, to me, doesnt mean that what happened was okay. It means that i have realized that they are a sick person that doesnt have that ability to acknowledge the hurt they cased and that I deserve better by moving on with my life. To this day i have never recieved an apology and thats okay (its not like i talk to them anyway). I have become free by letting go.

That’s the thing. What it is about, is being able to move on and not giving room in (y)our head to others. The exact meaning of forgiveness is disputed and disputable I feel. I’m not sure I’m able to forgive -as I see the notion- all people I encountered in my life. But I can move on.

I don’t think everyone needs to share the same experience of forgiveness as presented here. We are all unique, as are our histories. Finding comfort within our selves and being able to move forward in our lives … is strength as well. For me, there is at least one instance where the forgiveness is more towards myself, for not being able or willing to forgive. Again, the letting go. Idk…just my point of view. No need to be hard on oneself for being where we are at.
