The article analyzes the memory documents produced during 2008 to 2019, to characterize their central aspects and compare them in relation to the use of the categories of pain, damage, and imagination in the victims. Methodology: it is qualitative hermeneutical research with content analysis, applied to a sample of 45 documents. Results: the research allowed to establish that the highest percentage of thematic relationships is related to 11% paramilitary massacre, 6% truth and memory, 2% grief, memory, and reparation. Conclusions: The works of elaboration of traumatic memory and of the conflict in Colombia have ignored fundamental aspects in relation to damage, pain and imagination, these being constitutive parts of the memory of the victims.
