I have learned something important during the last couple years--that forgiveness does not mean 'what you did to me doesn't matter'; rather, 'forgiveness is acknowledging that I have been wounded, but I have the strength and spirit to overcome and heal the wounds.'
Right there with you. I think there's also acknowledgement that in any impasse there's more to heal than just the self. The resolution spreads out farther than the act of forgiveness.
