How do I forgive someone who hasn't apologized?
Forgiveness, in the restored gospel, isn't something the other person earns from you — it's something the Savior makes possible in you. The Lord said, "I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men"[1].
When Peter asked how many times he should forgive — "until seven times?" — the Savior answered, "until seventy times seven"[2]. That isn't a ceiling. It's an orientation. Forgiveness isn't a single decision; it's a practice you return to.
And it doesn't mean the hurt was small, or that trust has to be restored overnight. It means the weight of the offense doesn't have to remain yours while you wait for an apology that may never come. Holding onto injuries keeps us captive to them — and the Atonement has power to set the injured free, not only the offender[3].

Reflect
Is there someone you're waiting on before you'll let go?
What would it feel like to ask the Lord to forgive on your behalf?
Which is harder for you — offering forgiveness, or receiving it?
Ether suggests reflection questions after every answer — inspired prompts to deepen your own thinking.
Example only; real responses vary.
How it works
Ask anything
A real question from your life, a hard feeling, a decision, a passage you can't unpack. Anything you'd actually bring to someone.
Inspired answers
Answers come from the teachings of the Church, with sources cited so you can explore deeper.
Keep what matters
Save reflections alongside the conversation. Return to the passages that moved you — and Ether carries them into future conversations.
Share
Post a reflection for your friends. Follow others. See what Saints around you are pondering.
It learns your story
Ether remembers the reflections you save. The next time you sit down with a question — about a calling, a relationship, a doubt you've carried for years — it can quietly bring forward what you wrote before.
It's the difference between starting over every time and being met where you left off.
Your journal stays yours. Only you can see it — it's never shown to other users, and it's never used to train AI models.
I feel like I've been carrying the same question for years without an answer. What now?
"I keep asking and feeling nothing back. I'm tired of pretending that silence is an answer."
You wrote this a few weeks ago. The scriptures don't promise that every prayer gets answered on the timeline we expect — but they do promise that waiting isn't the same as being forgotten…
Ponder together
Ether isn't meant to be used in isolation. Share what you're learning, follow friends and family, and see what other Saints are pondering.
Post your reflections
Turn a conversation that moved you into a post. Add a caption or a photo. Share it publicly or keep it to yourself.
Follow friends
Follow your ward, your family, your mission companions. See what they're studying and how they're making sense of it.
