I am a certified life coach, mentor, author and facilitator. Having watched my mother’s deterioration (from afar) I decided I would not follow in her footsteps.
Since my mother’s death (and that of my husband shortly thereafter) I have dedicated most of my time to helping others cope with trauma, sudden death, changes of all sorts.
I firmly believe that we can take control of our lives and how we age. Having seen my mother’s mind deteriorate and watched my husband’s health deteriorate, I have devoted much time and energy to finding out just how to avoid this happening to me and to my friends.
I am working on my values and am trying really hard to live up to those I have chosen – Gracious, Generous, Loving. And an update on May 3 2011 I have added radiant.
I live in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, with my trusty friend Lotte my Tibetan Spaniel. She goes most places with me and offers me unconditional love and acceptance.
Unfortunately my darling girl had a massive heart attack in February 2013 and had to be put to sleep. However, shortly after that a 3 year old toy poodle came into my life. Quite a different character to Lotte but I am learning to live with this rambunctious little person/dog.
And then, unexpectedly into my life came a new love – the architect, my partner. Not the sweet breathless love of a teenager (as when I met my Dashing Young Scotsman so many years ago) but the tender love of two mature people who choose to spend the rest of their lives together.
And now the unthinkable has happened. My new love was diagnosed with a brain tumour in June this year (2015) and 8 weeks later he died. Our time together was so very short but it was filled with love, fun, friendship and adventure – in fact, a magic carpet ride, and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
At 72 73 74 75 , 76, 77 now, years of age I am still active in business, in the community and with my family, particularly my four growing grandsons.
Contact me on judith@judithbaxter.net.nz I would love to hear from you.
I choose how I will spend the rest of my life

Hi Judy, Yes, the pitfalls in life and living are sad but true. Though our time here is short, the test we face seems never ending.
The results of aging are often difficult to bear, though we must. Learning to move through the maze gracefully is challenging fearful and fulfilling.
Bravo! for your accomplishments and earnestness; your dedication to not only living well, but aiding those facing last moments. This cannot be easy, you have witnessed family losses; those you serve are fortunate.

Hello, Judith! Thank you for dropping by my blog. I wholeheartedly agree with you on your philosophy. We are only as young (or as old!) as we let ourselves be. My husband and I are empty nesters. We’re in our early 50’s. For us, this is our “second act,” so to speak. And we intend to make sure it’s where the meat of the action takes place in our life story.
Looks like you’re “re-nested,” with four busy young boys to dote on. How fun! Our daughter told us we’ll be waiting a long time before any grand children. She still wants to do many things and see many places first.
