Saying “I’m Sorry” Matters
Some people just don’t apologize. Or maybe they can’t.
But this really isn’t about them. It's about the rest of us. And what actually heals.
When we want an apology, what are we really after?
It’s not that we need someone to put on sackcloth and grovel. That’s not it.
What we want is acknowledgment.
We want them to see it. To see how much it hurt.
Now here’s where it gets interesting.
Some people don’t apologize because they think apologizing means, “I was wrong to do what I did.” And the truth is . . . they may not believe they were wrong. They may be perfectly fine with their decision. So to them, saying “I’m sorry” feels fake.
But the apology doesn’t have to be about the action.
It can be about the impact.
There’s a world of difference between “I’m sorry I did that” and “I’m sorry I hurt you.”
That second one? That’s healing.
It doesn’t mean they regret their choice. It means they recognize your pain.
And I’m pretty sure — as sure as I can be — that this is what most of us are actually asking for.
I once read that doctors were sued less often when they simply apologized to families after something went wrong. Instead of hiding behind clinical language — “The procedure was successful, but . . .” — they said things like, “I’m so sorry I couldn’t save them,” or “I’m sorry I couldn’t help.”
Those words don’t rewrite what happened. But they acknowledged the human cost.
Healing begins when someone sees the wound.
That’s why apologies matter. Not because they rewrite history. But because they honor the hurt.
All the best,
John
