SUMMARY:

This research aimed to work with women who care for their mothers in psychical suffering from a
psychoanalytic perspective, which considers listening to the singular as a signifier of the subject's
position in their relationship with the social. It is an search-intervention that sought to understand
the relationship between these women and the prevailing discourses on social gender roles that
affect their constitution as subjects of desire, the daughter-mother bonds, and the suffering they
experience. The intervention was carried out through a groupality device for sharing and
constructing joint narratives among the participants. In this setting, the "other" stands as a peer
and, through testimony, can give consistency to the subject, mobilizing processes of recognition and
resignification of the sufferings produced by the impact of social ideals on the bodies of women who
perform the caregiving function for their mothers. Ten women participated in the group device and
were invited to compose joint narratives with the researcher. Consequently, three analytical essays
were constructed to witness these processes: the first, titled "Gifts Circulate," addresses the
interchanges and exchanges among the participants and the ways in which identifying possibilities
are produced; the second, named "The Mother, Death, and the Future," deals with the processes of
separation and symbolization of the losses implied in the assumption of new symbolic positions; and
the third, titled "Daughter, but not only," discusses the power of the bonds built among the
participants.
