The research regards to study with these participants how to experience this waiting time (that can also be called as a “void” or “blank”), that is, how could they have this time for their own, their subjectivity as women, not only roling as mother of deaf children, but also change the “waiting time” in the group with others having such significant experiences. There were 6 group meetings, and each one lasted 3h hours, totalizing 18h of all. The data catenation reveals relevant, that can corroborate to new researchs focused about leisure, contemporary idea of free time and subjectivity
