      ab: This study focuses on understanding the mourning process in the elderly and how this is linked to gender, ethnicity and social class, among Cape Verdean migrants in Portugal. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 20 older people living in the Lisbon Metropolitan area. We inquired about the existence of beliefs, superstitions, rituals and Cape Verdean traditions associated with death. The way individuals deal with death depends largely on individual trajectories of living in a group and in certain contexts. We found a cosmopolitan and an existential vision, corresponding to the elite group and popular group beliefs, attitudes and representations.
