Marina Cantacuzino hears from "Jayne" whose childhood was marred by sexual abuse at the hands of her father. Can she forgive him now that he's close to death?

Is it possible to forgive a man who took your childhood innocence through years of sexual abuse - especailly if that man is your father?

A woman we are calling Jayne has spent many years working through the trauma of what happened to her - and to her younger brother whose suicide was in no small part prompted by his father's abuse of him as a child.

Now Jayne's father is close to death and she has been one of those responsible for looking after him - but is forgiveness possible after all these years? Marina Cantacuzino, founder of the charity The Forgiveness Project, finds out.
