Forgiving What You Can’t Forget by Lysa TerKeurst

Coming off a difficult divorce, where my husband cheated on me multiple times, I picked up Forgiving What You Can’t Forget hoping for a sense of clarity, and I found much more than that—I found connection, healing, and truth.

Lysa TerKeurst writes with raw honesty and vulnerability that made me feel seen. She doesn’t sugarcoat the pain that betrayal causes, and she doesn’t offer quick-fix solutions. Instead, she shares real, hard-earned wisdom about forgiveness that felt deeply relatable. It was like having a friend gently walk alongside me, helping me untangle the hurt and reminding me that I’m not alone.

My biggest takeaway? Forgiveness is an ongoing journey. Some days it feels easier, and other days it’s a battle to even consider it. But each time I confront a trigger or memory, I remind myself that healing isn’t linear—it’s a process of choosing peace over bitterness, over and over again.

This book doesn’t ask you to forget what happened or pretend the pain wasn’t real. Instead, it empowers you to face it, work through it, and find freedom on the other side. Highly recommend to anyone navigating deep emotional wounds—especially those dealing with betrayal or heartbreak.
