I know this to be true, I have members of my family have been through a lot with other members of our family and they have forgiven one another and I can sense the peace and the spirit that each family member brings, this does not mean that it will not be hard, I know that there will be very hard trials that each family member will face while forgiving one another, but if we do we set ourselves up for even more blessings.
WHY SHOULD WE REPENT AND FORGIVE?
"Mental health experts acknowledge that it is impossible to address emotional and physical well-being without considering the relevance of repentance and forgiveness. Likewise, the words of ancient and modern prophets affirm that repentance and forgiveness are central to the gospel plan."

"Cleansing the Inner Vessel" This is very true, we need to repent so that we are more likely to forgive others, make sure to watch this amazing video.
HOW TO FORGIVE?
1) Recall the hurt-We not need to deny the pain, we need to be clear of what we did wrong.
2) Empathize- It is important to understand the transgressors feelings
3) Offer the altruistic gift of forgiveness- the victim needs to be humble by their wrongdoings
4) Commit Publicly to Forgive- we need to verbalize our forgiveness to another person
5) Hold on to Forgiveness- We need to remember to move forward, and we also need to repeat
For some months, I’ve tried to emphasize repentance, one of the most vital and merciful doctrines of the kingdom. It is too... )—how can we do so, except each of us employs repentance as the regular means of personal progression? Personal repentance is part of taking up the cross daily.-Neal A. Maxwell
