The beginning of a full — scale war affected all of us, leaving traces in the life of every Ukrainian and at the same time imprinting a trace-the history of the experience passed at that time. In the summer of 2022, writer Irena Karpa, after consulting with psychologist Larisa Voloshina, launched an online course "therapeutic writing", where she helped participants talk about their pain and express emotions in their own written stories. These classes proved useful and effective, so Irena continued to work in the direction of creative therapeutic writing and founded the course "My Story", during which she invited students to work on the experience experienced during the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war. During the course, participants wrote essays in which they shared their own stories or the stories of loved ones, creating stories based on real events. Realizing that these texts are really worthy of attention, Irena Karpa caught fire with the idea: "to publish a collection of texts not by professional writers, but by 'ordinary heroines in extraordinary circumstances'." So there was a collection of short prose "I do not know how to write about it". These are stories of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which, artistically reinterpreted and embodied in stories and essays, sound diverse, but are the voices of one common experience. "Talking, telling, consulting out loud with our own people is what keeps us going in the most difficult times," says Irena Karpa. "These stories are just like that." The writer explains that therapeutic writing can liberate: laughing, speaking, fixing emotions and events, throwing out anger and hatred, or love and gratitude, preserving the memory of those who are worth remembering. At the end of the collection, Irena Karpa suggests that readers also try to write down their own story or just their own thoughts. "Because who, if not you, is the main character of your life?"she says. Editor and compiler Zhanna Kapshuk helped Irena implement the idea in the book. "This collection is like a conversation that has its own movement: from thoughts about home — through feelings of confusion, questions and uncertainty — through decisions made and the search for resilience — through loss and pain and difficult experiences — through the search for light in the dark — through laughter through tears or laughter through humor — to finding ways to yourself and your recovery," says Jeanne.
