for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Jesus said, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." This fulfilled the requirements for sacrifice for sins done in ignorance under the Levitical Law.
If you are seeking resolution and restoration of the relationship, then the Bible offers two passages:
Matthew 1815-19 plays out when someone has sinned against you.
Matthew 5:22-24 applies when we become aware that our someone holds a grudge against us for something we did to them.
In either case, regardless of who hurts and who is hurting, scripture infers that it is the responsibility of the Believer to take the first steps toward reconciliation.
Approach the other person in humility and love.

27"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. 34And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. 35But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. (Luke 6)
...it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. 20But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. 21To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. (1 Pet 2)
+ the parable of the unforgiving servant (Matt 18:23-35).

"Forgive us our sins AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO SIN AGAINST US"
"If you present your gift to God, and you remember that you have something against someone, put your gift down and go make things right with your brother, then return and present your gift."
This verse states that if you remember that you have anything against another, and yet a similar verse states that if you remember that someone has anything against you, ... et cetera.
Finally, "If your enemy is hungry, feed him, if he is thirsty give him something to drink. ... Do not pay back evil for evil, ... for vengence is mine saith the Lord."

Turn the other cheek - although I don't know which book or verse it came from.
