i try to forgive and release.....hard for me because I have a good memory and still carry the pain

I think we both have the curse and blessing of a long memory. A blessing for the obvious reasons, but a curse for those situations when I've held onto a slight and the person who made the slight no longer remembers it. I've gotten better at letting go of the pain.

forgiving to forget, sounds easy....never easy

I occasionally used the approach of forgetting in order to forgive. If I quit thinking about a situation/person that bothered me then I could sort of let my resentment go and eventually forge a path of forgiveness.
