Unlike God, we don't forget.
Have you ever talked to an abuse counselor about things they hear about and how they deal with it? If you've never been through abuse in your life, it's difficult, if not impossible, to understand or even fathom. If you don't understand it, you can't help someone deal with it any further than you've already suggested, but sadly, that's not the end of the problem.

I would even say that often times, forgiveness is more in the middle or towards the end of the healing process. But it IS in the process, for sure.
