Four Stages of Forgiveness

Posted on January 5, 2009 - by Fred Luskin

The full process of forgiveness is a liberating experience. One that if practiced smartly can lead to a terrific life experience. Interestingly, forgiveness can only occur because we have been given the gift of the ability to make choices. We have the choice to forgive or not to forgive and no one can force us to do either. Conversely, if we want to forgive someone no one can stop us no matter how poorly they may act. This ability to forgive is a manifestation of the personal control we have over our lives. It is nice to reflect upon and feel the respect that we have been given to be able to make such profound choices.

Compellingly, the option to forgive also implies that we had discretion as to whether or not we took offense in the first place. While forgiving may be a difficult enough choice for many of us, imagine how our lives would be if we rarely or never used our power of choice to take offense. Since we have choice, wouldn’t it make sense to limit the amount of times we are hurt or offended so that the need to forgive rarely if ever arises? The ability to live life without taking offense, without giving blame, and by offering forgiveness are choices that offer a life of great peace.

Posted on January 5, 2009 - by Mitch Carmody

By Mitch Carmody — My resolution for the year ahead is to practice one element of what I call Proactive Grieving. That element is being intentional; to reach out with some sort of communication that recognizes a special day for someone who has suffered a loss. Certain calendar days throughout the year are very significant to those who grieve the loss of a loved one: death days, birthdays, diagnosis days, anniversaries, day of the accident, day of surgery, religious observations, holidays, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, family annual event days and more. In the first year of loss, even the day […]

Jane Greer: Share the Message of Afterlife Connection

Posted on January 2, 2009 - by Jane Greer

By Jane Greer — My goal for the new year is to continue to pass on the power of Afterlife Connection with loved ones who are gone. To let people know that their loved ones are still with them, to teach them the way to connect with them, to educate them to the signs all around them so that they can tune in and feel the healing force of afterlife connection. When you lose a loved one you feel as if your whole world has ended. The struggle to go on is immense and their death is devastating. Knowing that […]
