Does a person’s ability to forgive influence his health in any way? Do an extensive literaturary research on this. Of particular interest are people with heartdisease or those who recently suffered a heart attack. Does their ability to forgive slow down the progression of their heart disease or shorten the time it takes to recuperate from their heart attack? Before discussing any disease entity and whether
it is influenced by forgiveness, please define the disease,
its pathophysiology, epidemiology and treatment in as much laymen’s terms as possible. Please elaborate as much as possible on what forgiveness is from a psychological viewpoint. Does forgiveness eliminate stress which helps heal the body?
