The Things They Wrote: A Writing/Healing Project

By Kerry L Malawista

Book Overview

Sharing our stories helps us to understand our experiences and begin to move forward in our lives. One year after the devastating COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmed the world's healthcare system, the Things They Carry Project was launched, offering free online writing workshops (co-led by a therapist and writer) for frontline workers. TTC workshops offered our nation's nurses, doctors, and other frontline workers a safe space to write about all they endured--from exhaustion to terror to hopelessness--and a supportive group to hear their stories. Writing groups connected these brave workers, and now we, too, can listen to their voices. This collection offers a selection of the powerful and moving stories shared by the group participants, giving us all the chance to witness and empathize with their experience and its aftermath.
