Can forgiveness happen without an apology?

Can you forgive someone if they never apologize?

Yes, forgiveness can occur without an apology. It's often more about your own healing than the other person's actions.

But how can I truly forgive if they don't acknowledge their wrongdoing?

Forgiveness is a personal choice. It involves letting go of resentment, which can be freeing for you, regardless of their acknowledgment.

What if I still feel angry about what they did?

It's normal to feel anger. Acknowledge those feelings, and consider how holding onto them affects you. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting.

So, forgiveness is more for me than for them?

Exactly! Forgiveness is often about your peace of mind and emotional well-being, rather than the other person's actions.
