I can relate to forgiving being harder than forgetting. It comes with the actual emotions that come with the hurt rather than what really happened.
I get that too when I am hurt by someone so much that even if I forget what they did to me I can't ignore the feelings attached to it nor can I forgive them for making me feel that way. I guess it's a form of forgiveness too and there's some wisdom in it because you won't want to let the other person repeat the same thing to you. Unlike some who would force forgiveness and try to forgive and forget only to make themselves vulnerable to the same situation all over again.
Exactly that, I really think it’s some form of forgiveness too
