You have a number of markers for forgiveness such as the Decision Phase and various aspects in the Work Phase of forgiveness, as examples.  What if a person is unsure that she has actually mastered these markers?  How can a person know that she has forgiven?

People know, at least in part, that they are successful in forgiving by the internal progress they are making with their hearts, with their level of resentment toward the other person and their level of compassion toward that person. If deep resentment remains, the person could consider revising some of the earlier markers toward which she still has difficulty and work on them again.
