In the globalized society aging can foster exclusion but point also to the possibility of social and community participation as a strategy for coping with inequality. It has been used qualitative methodology and procedures in this research, as the method of participant observation and interviews. The fieldwork has been conducted in the New Community Pantanal, with elderly women participants from the Group of Women Living. The choice of participants has been based upon the time which they have integrated into the group and their self-acceptance of taking part in the Project study. The analysis has been conducted taking into consideration four major categories from the data gathered: personal relationships, family, community and their relationship with the aging process. The discussion of the data collected revealed that the family occupies a central space into their lives where special emphasis is given to the husbands.

Therefore, from taking part in the Living Group the elderly establishes new relationship with themselves, with their own aging process, among the group and the community, creating a new role and social function |
