How to Ask for Forgiveness
single_mommy

Saying you're sorry can seem awfully tough, but it gets easier with practice and delivers bountiful rewards.

1Step One

Think about what happened and what it is you are sorry for doing.

2Step Two

Write down your apology; this will help you organize your thoughts and calm your nerves.

3Step Three

Practice what you plan to say until you feel comfortable with it.

4Step Four

State clearly what it is you are sorry for doing.

5Step Five

Acknowledge your actions without making excuses.

6Step Six

Share your feelings about what happened - avoid blaming, exaggerating or saying empty words.

7Step Seven

Listen to the other person's response without getting defensive.

8Step Eight

Offer to make amends if appropriate.

9Step Nine

Move on. Once you've apologized, let it go.

 Sometimes there are things that seems so hard to forget... acceptance comes in time... understanding should come first...

    Quoting  :
indeed they are my friend because of the gravity of the situation that was created by someone so dear to us.... there's a thin line that seperate understanding and accepting.... when we learn to understand, it does'nt follow that we can accept what transpired but things do happen for a reason....and only time can tell when we can accept or understand when our level of emotions have subsided....
