"we just don’t have the right to ask others to forgive without knowing what causes their pain:" ❤️

Hi Agnes, this stood out for me, a compassionate response to acknowledging another's pain. Asking, expecting someone to forgive if they are suffering can inflict more pain, guilt, stress and add to their layers of trauma.

Everyone wants to be loved and sadly, this is not always the case.

You were wise not to pass judgment.

Forgiveness is a personal choice—one made when the person has a full understanding of their pain and can move on.
