Widow Barbara Whitman Gaeta and widow-to-be Susan Whitman have formed a mother-daughter team to create a greater awareness about the emotional and spiritual needs of widows. Gaeta's husband of 40 years died suddenly in 1986, six months after her mother became a widow. Whitman's husband is 14 years her senior, making her impending widowhood very likely. Because of the widow experience, Gaeta's journey with Whitman changed them both in ways that only widows and their families can understand. Gaeta, widowed for ten years and now happily re-married to a man twelve years her junior, had a facelift, colored her hair, got a small tattoo, and joined a naturist club . . . things she would have never thought about doing if she had not become a widow. These were ways she celebrated the fact that life continues when one mate dies. As an entertainer, she has a delightful sense of humor that engages her audiences. She epitomizes what Wit & Wisdom for Widows: Beginning Anew is all about - creating the life you want to live. Gaeta has been engaged in research about widows since her husband died. Together with Whitman, they have created a workshop for widows to address their needs and concerns. They've interviewed numerous widows about their experiences, shared their own, and are perpetuating that spiritual bond of knowing and appreciation in the widow community.Professionally Gaeta, now a consultant in volunteer program management, has worked with diverse organizations. She's served on boards for the American Red Cross, First United Methodist Church, and Epilepsy League. She's been the spokesperson for the United Way of Oakland (CA), American Red Cross, Epilepsy League, Oakland (CA) Unified Schools, and the Alzheimer's Association. Gaeta has been honored as the Woman of Achievement for Business and Professional Women (Los Gatos, CA), awarded the Golden Rule Award by J.C. Penney for community service, and received the ten Gallon Blood Donor recognition by the American Red Cross. She
