<p>The armed conflict has left many victims and mental health consequences in the Colombian population, and the female gender being the most affected. The objective of this study was aimed at describing resilience and coping strategies in a sample of women victims of the armed conflict and its relationship with the stages of grief. Study with a quantitative approach, descriptive level, and non-experimental method. Was participated 80 women victims of the armed conflicto. Was used the SV-RES Resilience Scale of Saavedra &amp; Villalta (2008), the Inventory of Coping Strategies (CSI) adapted by Cano et al. (2006), and the Scale of the grief phases (EFD-66) of Miaja &amp; Moral (2013). It was evidenced that women who were in more advanced stages of grief showed the use of more functional coping strategies and a higher score in all resilience factors. Was not identified the correlation between the stages of grief and the time elapsed since the loss, suggesting that the process of overcoming the grief in the sample of women victims of the armed conflict is not related to the time that has elapsed since their los, but rather with the use of personological resources as functional coping strategies and resilience skills.</p>
