Right, but I feel that whatever resentment she did have was bottled up in her "test" of Rukia's courage. In other words, its similar to how in One Piece, Zoro insisted that Usopp apologize before he was forgiven. Sometimes, it is necessary for someone to prove their sincerity before you forgive them. So in a way, Kukaku didn't really forgive her, until she apologized.

Ganju, I feel, wanted someone to blame, which is natural after suffering such a sudden loss. He also didn't know Rukia that well, and it was only after interacting with Ichigo, and learning the positive effect she had on him, than Ganju could see past that tragedy and see what kind of person Rukia was and that it wasn't a mistake for Kaien to sacrifice himself in part to save her.
