Introduction:
Why Forgiveness Feels So Hard
Let’s be real: forgiveness is tough. When people say, Just forgive and forget,
it sounds so simple, right?
But anyone who’s been deeply hurt knows that it's not just a matter of deciding to forgive and then magically feeling better.
If only it worked like that! The truth is, forgiveness often feels like the last thing you want to do when you’ve been wronged. And you’re not alone in feeling that way.
So, why is it so hard to forgive? Well, for starters, we’re human. When someone hurts us—whether it’s a friend, family member, or even a stranger—it cuts deep.
We hold onto that pain because, in a way, it feels like protecting ourselves.
If we forgive, it can feel like we’re letting them off the hook or saying, It’s okay that you hurt me,
even when it's far from okay.
And then there’s the emotional weight.
Let’s face it: holding onto anger and resentment can feel empowering at times, like we’re keeping some sort of shield up to protect ourselves from getting hurt again. But over time, that shield turns into something heavier. It drags us down.
And before we know it, the weight of that grudge starts taking up space in our lives—space that could be filled with peace, joy, and freedom.
But here’s the kicker: forgiveness isn’t about letting someone else win or brushing off what they did. It’s about reclaiming your own power.
It’s about letting go of the grip that anger, pain, or disappointment has over you.
Forgiveness is hard because it asks us to be vulnerable, to release control over something that hurt us deeply. But in that vulnerability, there’s also incredible strength.
Throughout this book, we’re going to break down the layers of why forgiveness feels so impossible sometimes.
We’ll talk about the emotional resistance, the myths that surround forgiveness, and the practical steps you can take to start letting go—even when you don’t feel ready.
This isn’t a journey you have to rush. In fact, it’s something that unfolds in its own time, and that’s okay.
Just know this: you’re not alone in this process. We’ll walk through it together, one step at a time, and hopefully by the end, you’ll see that forgiveness isn’t about letting someone else off the hook. It’s about freeing yourself from the past so you can step forward with peace in your heart.
Acknowledging the Pain
Facing what hurt you
Before you can even think about forgiveness, you’ve got to do something really hard: face the hurt.
I know, it’s not easy. In fact, it’s probably the last thing you want to do.
But if you’re going to heal and move forward, you have to start by acknowledging what happened, how it made you feel, and why it still lingers in your mind and heart.
We often avoid facing the pain because it’s just too raw. Maybe it feels easier to bury it, to push it aside and pretend like it didn’t affect us that much. But here’s the thing: pain doesn’t disappear when we ignore it.
It just finds a way to show up in other areas of our lives, whether it’s in our relationships, our mental health, or even our physical well-being.
That unaddressed hurt can weigh on us more than we realize.
So, how do you start facing what hurt you? It begins with honesty. Be real with yourself about what happened. No sugarcoating, no minimizing.
If it hurt, it hurt—there’s no shame in that.
You have every right to feel the way you do, whether it’s anger, sadness, betrayal, or disappointment. These emotions are valid, and it’s okay to sit with them for a while.
One way to start is by reflecting on the situation in a safe space—either on your own or with someone you trust.
You might even want to write it out. Sometimes, putting the pain into words can help you process it better.
What exactly happened? How did it make you feel then, and how does it make you feel now? What impact has it had on your life?
As uncomfortable as this might be, facing the hurt allows you to understand it
