Is it possible that certain injustices are so serious that the hurts never really heal in those who forgive?

It is possible that some residual anger or disappointment or sadness may remain in the forgiver, but if this person has taken the time and patience to truly forgive, then that anger, disappointment, or sadness will not dominate the person.  As one forgiver once said to me, “I was very angry with the one who hurt me, but now I am in control of the anger rather than the anger controlling me.”
