I have taken your advice and have applied what you call the “strong will” to forgive someone who deeply hurt me.  I still feel stuck. Do you have a further recommendation for me?

Yes, I understand how hard it is to forgive at times, and so please accept my sympathy. I recommend that you try to forgive someone else first if you are having trouble forgiving a certain individual. Forgiving this new person first may be easier because the injustice may not have been as serious. With this kind of practice in the process of forgiveness, you then should consider forgiving the person toward whom you are “stuck” in trying to forgive. You might be able to forgive this one individual who is causing you so much difficulty if you practice forgiving at least one other person first.
