Resumo: The widowhood process in the elderly is mainly experienced by women, due to the age differential between feminine and masculine average life expectancy. In this context, this study aims to understand the state of widowhood in a feminine point of view, analyzing its impact in lifestyle choices, identifying the changes occurred in the lives of elderly women and, in which way the widowhood influences the choice of different everyday and leisure activities. Using a qualitative methodology, it has been organized as an exploratory-descriptive study, in which was used a study group composed by 30 elderly widowed women, aged 65 or above. Data was collected through semi-structured individual interviews, then analyzed in terms of content with the support of WebQ da Software (Web Qualitative Data Analysis). Results show that the fact of having become widowed gave the elderly a greater independence and sense of liberty. Simultaneously, it also showed that in the early years of widowhood, widows show more feelings of grief and nostalgia for their loved one (feeling of missing someone immensely).

Nesse contexto, através deste estudo, pretende-se compreender como o estado de viuvez no feminino, influenciou as opções de estilo de vida, identificando as alterações originadas em mulheres idosas e influencia as diferentes atividades do dia a dia e de lazer. Com uma metodologia qualitativa, assume-se como um estudo exploratório-descritivo, realizado junto de um grupo constituído por 30 idosas na situação de viúvas e com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos. Para a recolha de dados optou-se pela realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas, sendo posteriormente os dados analisados em termos de conteúdo e tratados com o suporte do Software WebQda (Web Qualitative Data Analysis). Os principais resultados evidenciam que o facto de as idosas terem ficado viúvas lhes deu maior independência e sensação de liberdade, apesar do estudo inferir, igualmente, que a viuvez possui um impacto marcante, porquanto se observa uma tendência exponencial para a descrição de emoções associadas ao processo de luto.  Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2014-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/2150910.23925/2176-901X.2014v17i3p43-57Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 17 n. 3 (2014); 43-572176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/21509/15757Sílvia, CarriçoNeves, Ruiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-13T18:58:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/21509Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2022-12-13T18:58:23Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
