Letting It Go: Navigating Forgiveness

After two full hours of screaming and cursing at his father’s grave, venting a lifetime’s worth of rage, Wayne got back into his rental car. It seemed like time to return home. There wasn’t much left to say.

Wayne’s father had been an abusive alcoholic, womanizer, and criminal who’d spent time in prison. In the midst of the Great Depression, he’d walked out on his first two sons. At that time, his oldest son was just four years old and his youngest was 16 months old. The day he left, the boys’ mother was in the hospital giving birth to her third son, Wayne. Both young boys were left home alone to fend for themselves.

Because of his father, Wayne spent the early years of his life being moved through a series of foster homes and into an orphanage. When Wayne was 10 years old, his mother was able to get her sons back.

The fact was, though, so much had gone wrong in Wayne’s life, and he could trace it all back to his father.

As he first stood in front of his father’s grave that day, the one thing Wayne knew for sure was that his father didn’t deserve his love. As much as it hurt to hold on to his rage, Wayne was determined never, ever to forgive his father.

Have you ever felt that way? Who has earned years of your anger?

Anger is one of our biggest, most heated emotions. It’s the proverbial hot lava of our inner volcano.

Still, though, we hold on to it, this emotion that repeatedly burns us.

Why do we do that?

Why do we insist on hurting ourselves with our anger when forgiveness would feel so much better?

These are important questions we began asking yesterday. Today we dive deeper into them and then take a fresh look at moving beyond anger into forgiveness.
