Quote by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
How does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstance instead of rage, you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him. You tend to have nothing left to say about it all.
Summary

Instead of experiencing anger towards the person who caused harm, forgiveness leads to feeling sadness or empathy for their situation. It implies that forgiveness is accompanied by a release of negative emotions and a reluctance to dwell on the past event. When one reaches a point of having nothing more to say about the incident, it signifies a potential indicator of forgiveness.
