Forgiveness is not saying the offense never happened. It did. 
Forgiveness is not saying that everything is okay. It isn't.
Forgiveness is not saying we no longer feel the pain. We do.
I still feel the pain , but I am willing to let go of your involvement in my pain.
Forgiveness is an attitude of faith whereby you are able to turn over to God the business of how the other party is doing.
Forgiveness is saying, "I’m okay, and I am willing to let God deal with whether you are okay, and I am willing to let go of my need to be the instrument of correction and rebuke in your life.”
