Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic provoked suffering and distress, especially in patients and their caregivers, but also in their relatives who couldn't assist them even in the last moments of their lives. This unexpected situation caused a general need for places where feelings of pain and loss could be shared and elaborated. During the lockdown and the subsequent months several experiences of autobiographical and therapeutic writing were inaugurated, in order to provide the opportunity of taking care of oneself: they had a significant impact on people's meaning-making of the traumatic experience.
