Loss and pain
Letting go of the past
Stopping carrying painful memories that keep us from moving forward.
What the Bible can tell you
"Don't remember the former things, and don't consider the things of old.
Isaiah 43:18
Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,
Philippians 3:13
Don't say, "Why were the former days better than these?" For you do not ask wisely about this.
Ecclesiastes 7:10
A human reading
Letting go of the past does not mean forgetting it, but no longer living tied to it. You can remember with truth and still choose the present. This process usually needs support.
