Population aging is gradually becomes a social concern, economic and political due to the increased number of elderly the world. The thematic concerns that arise in protecting the quality of life for seniors, because little has been evolved to overcome the stigma, and almost no mention of the enchantment of the elderly and the positive consequences of aging. Through this study, we know the stories of seniors who attend the wheels Therapy Community Integrative, revealing their coping strategies, used in situations of adversity experienced, understand that this knowledge involves revealing the wisdom that is acquired throughout life and that becomes efficient for the development of motivating force necessary to healthy aging and dynamic. Since the goal was met, we used the method of oral history of life, using the interview technique to produce the empirical material. The study was conducted at the Center of Reference of the Citizenship Employee II and Evangelical Home of Older in the neighborhood of the Bank, both in the city of João Pessoa / PB, with nine employees who participated assiduously wheel and that Therapy Community Integrative had reported significant stories of facing adversities experienced. When analyzing the empirical material, we build all two axes that guided the discussion: Adverse situations and coping strategies used by the elderly; which originated two sub axes - Adverse situations: the wounded oyster that produces pearls, and Coping strategies: when the power-generating grace -, Therapy Community Integrative: an instrument for promoting the health of the elderly. The speeches revealed that the most common adverse situations loss of love with a strong emotional reference, which caused limited availability of financial resources to support children in a dignified manner, and difficult working conditions. The narratives revealed that employees were using different strategies, such as the strengthening of faith, decent and hard working people skills that generated using minimum resources necessary for family survival, also featuring concrete support network composed of family, people close and groups such as Therapy Community Integrative. We found that Therapy Community Integrative was presented as a tool for health promotion in order that the benefits reflected directly in the health status of participants. This study demonstrated that, despite the immense difficulties that some of the elderly had to overcome adversity, none brings a negative image of their own history nor the grief caused by old age. Their speeches confirm features suggestive of competence resilient, and they show an openness to a new look at aging, which suggests a scaling studies in the field of mental health and nursing.
