Friends,

In this episode, we delve into the complex emotions surrounding forgiveness, particularly in the aftermath of betrayal and deep personal loss. My exploration is framed by personal reflections on a former colleague's shocking conviction for sexual assault on minors, a person I worked closely with for 14 years. This experience has led me to reflect deeply on grief, identity, and the forgiveness process.

I compare grieving stages to phases of forgiveness, drawing from Bowlby and Parkes’ Four Phases of Grief Model, and use personal anecdotes and insights into how to navigate through these emotional phases.

I remind listeners that forgiveness is a deeply personal and transformative journey requiring acknowledgment of grief and a commitment to healing. I highlight the resilience of the human spirit in overcoming betrayal and finding hope through forgiveness.
