Forgiveness is tricky, especially when you’re trying to heal from violent trauma. The Archangels say forgiveness will come, if not in this lifetime, then after we cross over. The first step is to deal with the fallout, the feelings, and find a way to get past the pain and regain peace. I was shocked when they said this, but after thinking it through, it makes sense. If you’ve been a victim of violence, it would be very difficult to forgive your attacker, understandably. The first step is to get back on your feet and do whatever you need to in order to heal. Maybe then you can work on forgiveness, but maybe not. Eventually, it will come, but not until the survivor is ready. Thanks for the comment! Blessings!
