When I feel hurt by someone personally, I can forgive but it's the forget part that's hardest for me....working on it but sometimes can't let it go.
Any tips - how do you deal/cope?!
here's what works for me. The cure is in the pain. I sit in meditation. The thought stream through my mind. DO NOT engage them/hold on to them, just watch as they pass. you will feel the emotion/pain of whomever but DO NOT engage the thought. It may take a few days but eventually the mind will see you are not bothered by the thought and it will become less and less. Now it may pop up momentarily afterwards but DO NOT hold the thought and it will eventually go away. That is what I think is ment by turn the other cheek.
