Resumo: A long widowhood is associated with negative aspects in the life of the people, especially if they are in the stage of Old Age. However depending on the moment they experience this event in the course of life is possible to activate mechanisms to face life and reorder. This article shows from a exploratory perspective, qualitative and analytical, three case studies in the state of Mexico showing the perceived widowhood, which means in old age, their impacts economic and social, and how discourses and counter-discourses that have been generated subjects analyzed to overcome loneliness, isolation, the need for affection and love beyond providing family and children. Sexuality is seen from a critical and is an element highlighted in the narratives of these three cases and drew attention to the traditional way of analyzing Old Age and widowhood. The article consists of a literature review, objectives and methodology, as well as a section of results and final thoughts.

No entanto, dependendo do momento em que experimentarem este evento, é possível, ao longo da vida, ativar mecanismos para enfrentar a vida e reordená-la. Este artigo mostra três estudos de caso no estado de México, em uma perspectiva exploratória, qualitativa e analítica, mostrando a viuvez percebida, o que significa que, na velhice, os impactos dos discursos econômicos e sociais, e os contra-discursos que foram gerados são analisados visando a superar a solidão, o isolamento, a necessidade de afeto e amor, além do fornecimento de família e filhos. A sexualidade é vista a partir de um olhar crítico e é um elemento destacado nas narrativas desstes três casos tendo chamado a atenção para a forma tradicional de análise de velhice e viuvez. O artigo consiste em uma revisão da literatura, objetivos e metodologia, bem como uma seção de resultados e pensamentos finais.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2013-12-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/1755510.23925/2176-901X.2013v16iEspecial15p105-138Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 16 (2013): Número Especial 15 - Eroticism/Sexuality and Old Age; 105-1382176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPenghttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/17555/13056Zavala, Verónica Montes de Ocainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-11-29T00:33:13Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/17555Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2019-11-29T00:33:13Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
