How Does Forgiveness Work?

Inthe fall of 2009, I stood at my stepmother’s hospital bed as she slowly died from late-stage breast cancer. I told her that I loved her and thanked her for being a grandmother to my two children. That was the last time I saw her. A few months later, I found out that she’d created a secret will. My father had put various assets of theirs in her name to keep them safe from lawsuits directed at his construction business. In a document hidden from my father, she left it all to her two daughters, my stepsisters. The betrayal cut deep. The will included a house that I loved but, much more painfully, it indicated that a relationship I’d invested in for twenty years had been entirely one-sided. She willingly hurt me to get something she wanted. <a href="https://humanparts.medium.com/how-does-forgiveness-work-44aa3d1f7625">Website</a>
