Does forgiving someone mean everything goes back to normal?

Forgiveness is not pretending all is normal

Forgiveness doesn't mean that things will go back to how they were. Trying to make things normal again without being healed first is not forgiveness.

Forgiveness doesn't mean things return to how they were, or that you suddenly say, "I forgive you, now let's go watch a movie and go on holiday."
