Do you forgive and forget or do you only forgive but still keep the memories?

I forgive and love better in order to keep the bad memories away from my heart

Yes I forgive but unfortunately the body the mind never forget. I will forgive and more on in peace, but it doesn’t mean I have to move around with that person or be friends. Make peace with that person and move on!!!

Forgive but never forget.

I forgive to let go of the poison for myself, but I don’t forget—because the memory helps me protect my peace going forward. Forgiveness doesn’t mean amnesia; it means the past no longer gets to rent space in my head rent-free

Neither!

I forgive and still put it in mind

I forgive and forget because that’s where the healing is.

I love both. God loves both too

I can forgive I let go but that doesn’t mean that I have lost memory of the experience and the lessons it might have thought me.

Forgiveness is not lost of memory it takes the grace of God to completely forget.

Forgive but still keep in memory

I forgive but don’t totally forget so that I don’t get hurt the second time

I forgive but I don’t forget I believe that memories makes it easier for us to be more careful in the future

FORGIVING IS PART OF THE HEALING PROCESS, SO I RECOMMEND FORGIVING, NOT FOR THEM BUT FOR YOURSELF. TO MOVE ON FROM THE SITUATION, YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE. EVERY SITUATION DOESN’T REQUIRE A CONVERSATION WITH THE OTHER PERSON, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR BOUNDARIES ARE ALREADY SET AND IT’S A REPEATED ACT THAT KEEPS HAPPENING. IN LIFE YOU JUST HAVE TO MOVE ON FROM A SITUATION, ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND. YOU MAY NOT FORGET RIGHT AWAY, BUT YOU WILL LEARN TO, AND TRY NOT TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN.

I forgive and forget,there is nothing in this life

Forgiveness is mostly about releasing resentment, bitterness, and the emotional grip the hurt has on you—for your own peace and freedom, not necessarily for the other person’s benefit. It’s a deliberate choice to stop letting anger control you.
But forgetting the actual events? That’s usually neither realistic nor wise, especially if the harm was significant. Memories don’t just vanish (short of some rare neurological issue), and psychology backs this up: true forgiveness doesn’t erase recall; it changes how the memory feels. The sting fades, the misery lessens, but the facts stay, and that’s often protective.
