How do forgiving and reconciling differ?

Forgiveness is a moral virtue in which you, through your own free will, offer compassion, benevolence, and love toward a person or persons who treated you badly.  Reconciliation is not a moral virtue, but instead is a negotiation strategy in which two or more people come together in mutual trust.  You can forgive from the heart and not reconcile if the other remains a danger to you.
