The objective of the study was to describe the acceptance of duel and the construction of a new sense of life in women who have a child with an intellectual disability. A phenomenological qualitative study was developed, ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with mothers living in Metropolitan Lima, these being the primary caregivers of children diagnosed with intellectual disability for at least five years. The main results show that when a child with a disability arrives, mothers go through a grieving process in which they renounce the dreamed child to accept the real one with all its uniqueness, giving a new meaning to their life. Here, it is highlighted that the love and desire to provide the best quality of life for their children, prompted them to seek and create forms of inclusion, committing to share their ideals regarding the values and needs found during their experience with his son. Likewise, mothers have developed a greater sensitivity to the other's pain, showing prosocial behavior. It is concluded that after a period of inevitable pain, they have been able to restructure their life plan, replacing it with one that is linked to the real needs of their child.
