Lessons my Mom taught me – Part 21 of 23

Forgiveness

My late Mom, she was the gentlest soul with the biggest heart.

Yet when it came to forgiveness, it wasn’t that she did not forgive, but to preserve her own mental sanity from her own mother who labelled her and kicked her out of the house when she had me, she had Grandma at arm’s length.

So what does it mean then to forgive someone?

That you no longer harbour animosity towards that person? Or that you bless that person more and pray for their wellbeing even?

Mom would give gold bracelets to her own Mom as gifts but when she found out that everything she gifted was going elsewhere, she stopped giving. She still invited Grandma over for meals and parties but a line was drawn. A boundary.

Forgiveness is truly being able to release every negative emotion left that came from the event and when you can bring yourself to say only good things about the other person.

Fast forward to my life, many have screwed me over betrayal after betrayal, and math confirms that I have a lot of people to forgive.

And truthfully, I have.

Her lesson for me was that we do indeed need to forgive others for our own sanity.

It’s not about forgetting.

I won’t forget.

Nor is it about letting them in in the way that they could hurt us again.

However, my spiritual mentor expressed that when we can understand, we wouldn’t need to forgive!!

Because when we can understand why people did what they did, we wouldn’t even get light of any negative emotion.

Forgiveness….it is a quiet strength.

A soft letting go. A whispered blessing carried through the wind for them……. but mostly for me.

If I have wronged you in any way, I am sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you.
