"I have to respectfully disagree MrBond, forgiveness does not mean saying someone has "the right" to certain actions. That would mean condoning those actions which should never be expected of someone who has been victimized. Is a victim who forgives a rapist ever expected to say that the rapist had "the right to those actions"? Of course not - that would be ludicrous. Forgiveness is meant to release the injured party from feelings of negativity and resentment, not to condone the actions that caused harm. "
First off, we're not talking about anything as serious as rape. And second, everyone has the "right" to do what they choose to do. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that the action itself isn't ethical or non-ethical.
As a LBS you had the right to try to save your M. Your W had a right not to. Doesn't make either one wrong and the other correct. It comes down to who you are, the individual. Anyway it's a moot point in your case if you can't forgive her anyway.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
