It can be such a journey to learning forgiveness and being able to let go of pain... even if we have done it in the past each new pain can take its own time till we are able to release it... What really helped me was becoming familiar with some Buddhist philosophies, there is one quote I found super insightful in that regard “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”
It made me realize holding onto the pain was allowing the people who hurt me in the past to continue to do so. I didn't want that old pain and those toxic people to continue to control me so I learned to release that pain.... it can be hard watching people you love struggle with pain.. really hope she can find peace 💓
