Healing ≠ Closure: Why Your Healing Can’t Wait for an Apology

Published on 24 July 2025 at 15:00

Happy Thursday my beautiful ForevaBlack family. Healing is something that is available to us all, and honestly something that we all need. Our healing is completely on us, it is our job to make sure we do the work in order to heal and to move forward. There are some things that people get confused when it comes down to healing; the biggest thing we as a collective get confused about is that our healing doesn’t mean we will have closure. Let me explain... most of the time, we’re healing from trauma that others put on us, the pain they caused us, and how they drained us of so much love. But do you know the majority of those people will NEVER say sorry, but guess what? The responsibility is still on YOU to heal. 

 Ask yourself “Am I just not going to heal because the person who caused me pain didn’t apologize to me?” It wouldn’t make sense to not heal because the person who damaged you doesn’t say sorry, you’re keeping yourself in the same filthy environment they placed you in, meanwhile they have moved on and didn’t even think twice about what they did. Our healing is completely up to us. It's never fun to throw yourself a pity party.  

GET UP, HEAL, MOVE ON. Life doesn’t stop going because we’re waiting around on an apology from someone, it just doesn’t work that way. Do I think an apology would be good? Yes, I do, but honestly even if they apologized today, wouldn’t you still need to heal and do the work? Exactly, so just heal whether they apologize or not. It's not our job to wonder about what happens to them, that is totally up to God. Every action has a consequence, don’t ever think God isn’t dealing with them because their life still seems to be “perfect.”  

With healing, God will help you heal and show your enemies the masterpiece that He was working on. In Psalm 23:5 it says “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.” How will God prepare the table or allow the cup to overflow if you stay stagnant in your pity party? God didn’t design for us to stay stuck and behind. Do the work! Heal your mind, heal your body, heal your inner self.. DO THE WORK FAMILY!  

Heal every part of you that that person thought they destroyed, because none of God’s children can ever completely be destroyed. He’s with us in every phase, we know He’s there at the top... but don’t you think He’s always there at the bottom too? That’s when God shows us His character the most. We CANNOT heal without Him; He’s our source and strength.  

If you’re reading this, God is calling you and me out to do the inner work. He wants us to heal, He wants us to build ourselves back up mentally, physically, and spiritually. Apart from Him though, we can do nothing... we have to do ALL things with Him. Include God in your healing journey, He’d love to be a part of your growth. I love you all so much, and I’m so excited to see the work He is about to do in us. Heal without the apology, God birthed a fighter... how dare you look defeated because someone never said they were sorry? Lean on your Father who would never hurt you, and He allowed you to be hurt by that person to show you that you were always worth more and to build character.  

I’ll leave you with this question: What’s one step I can take today to start my healing with God? Comment below—I'd love to hear from you all! Trust in the process and in Him! Until next time my beautiful ForevaBlack family!
