forgiving and forgetting

it is God's teaching to forgive and you will be forgiven.

but maybe anyone of us experienced once in our lifetime to be hurt by people closest to our heart. we never imagined it could happen, we never thought that the people we love most  will hurt us deeply, maybe undeliberately.

forgiving is easy but is it bad that forgetting the wrong done to you is so difficult.

you go on   being close again as if nothing happened but there are times you remember what have happened and what have they've done to you. 

maybe forgiveness is not complete until you really forget it, but is it possible?

    I don't think you ever forget, but over time you will think of it less often as long as there are no overt or subtle reminders of whatever it is you are trying to forget. Some people can't forget, because they dwell on the problem. The question is can you put it behind you and not live in the past and refrain from keeping it in the here and now. If over time you find you can't forget them you might want to get some help with it or let it all go and move on.Good Luck and God Bless You

    Forgiveness was hard for me, at first. I didn't want to be hurt. Now, due to my beliefs, and age, hehe, I choose not to dwell on the negative. I had a cousin, that was murdered, and although I will not forget it, I do not dwell on it. I know she is in a safer place, now. When you don't forgive, it can eat at your sanity.
