I've had plenty wreckage in my life - some of it I did and some of it was done to me. Here is what works for me:
If what is keeping me from peace of mind if something in the past that I was responsible for that hurt someone else, I can choose to make an amend for my error. If it involves something another has done to me, I can choose to talk to them about it, without an expectation that they will own it ... just to say how I feel.
Beyond those two scenarios, the best way I can let go of the past is to focus on the present. I am learning that nothing from the past can hurt me in the present moment and the present moment is wonderfully serene because by it's very nature does not involve the past or future.
