Claudia Owens Shields
Psychologist, M.A., Ph.D.
There are many myths about "forgiveness." The one I hear most often is that people think that it involves pretending that the hurt someone has caused was "okay" and should be ignored and simply forgotten. I believed healing from a suffered wrong begins with a full and honest acknowledgment of the hurt, and engagement in a set of healthy processes that can gradually, over time transform the pain into strength and peace. From that position of strength one is better able to legitimately "let go."

A friend of mine once said that not forgiving is like holding hot coals in your hands, threatening to throw them at someone, when all you get is burned hands -- better to drop the coals, through forgiveness, than keep getting burned. Forgiveness is for you, not the other person. It relieves you of the burden of carrying anger and resentment toward another, or even yourself. Healing is for yourself when you forgive another person. Their response to you forgiving them can be a bonus, but it isn't necessary, as proven by the fact that we can forgive people that are no longer alive.
