Reconciliation may mean far more than forgiveness but yes, if reconciliation isn't possible (yet)--forgiveness always is. Forgiveness is a gift we give and a gift we receive.
Wheter it be forgiveness or the hope for reconciliation, I have learned how to be content in any situation (Phil 4:12).
It liberates our emotions, it frees our minds. Forgiveness as said doesn't mean something didn't happen in the past, but you don't let that past have any hold of the future. It cannot change the past but can make a big difference in what's going to happen in the future.
God is a God of forgiveness. He is also a God of reconciliation. (Matt 5:24).
