Not a hoarder but I have lived in the same home over 30 years and stuff accumulates. Also mother of a single child, and sure don't want to burden him with a bunch of junk. Pretty consistently working on my "death cleanse." Love it! Liberating!
One thing that seems to work for me is to take a picture of the items, which I can put those pictures into an album instead of keeping all the stuff, then you can always take out an album to have the memories. Take a picture of the mom's medications and all the mom's stuff, make an album, get rid of the stuff, except maybe 1 or 2 prized things.
I was my mom's caretaker. She died 3 years ago and I still have a lot of her possessions. I totally understand Bubbles's struggle to let go of the things. Grief is an ongoing process, and everyone moves at a different pace. I'm glad Bubbles is getting help! ❤
God bless you & give you peace in this journey. My deepest, most-sincere, most genuine, & heartfelt condolences/prayers to you, your family, and all who knew your mother. You're strong, you're brave & you're wholesomely loved by God. Love you, be safe. Be blessed. ❤️🔥❤️🔥
We all lose loved ones ... but in the end, they don't live on in a grave, they don't live on in the "stuff" of theirs that you keep ... They live on in your heart and your memories!!
I love how they are having fun together while working on the decluttering. It's so refreshing to see a show with this atmosphere instead of the horror type of shocking atmosphere in the shows. That always made me much more uncomfortable than the actual state of the homes. I also love the part where the therapist came in and they talked about how she's done a lot already but isn't ready yet with her moms items and that that's okay, and necessary to work on the emotions first so it wont be even worse. I'm sure this kind of show, how it's made, also makes it more attractive to people who deal with this kind of stuff to seek help to see videos like these with this fun and respect going on.
It looks like she has nice things, but nowhere to store it. I like some of the things she has. This is a good episode, TY for sharing it. God Bless You & stay safe.
Bubbles is the sweetest woman, and it’s wonderful how the divas are so caring and respectful of her mums memory and of her feelings. Best advice given while getting rid of things that can go. ❤😊
I've only watched a few of these but if the ones I've washed or any indication European or English hoarders are not nearly as dirty and as mean and demanding as American hoarders
That woman was in the UK somewhere, but their version of the show isn't the same as the American version. Here, the directors tell the hoarders to play up even the weensiest bit of supposed "drama," including any perceived miniscule bit of potential "meanness" the person might display just once, turning the shows into untrue nonsense.
Even the cleaners there are nicer and show up in nice clothes rather than hazards mat suits. It would add to the trauma for trucks and dumpsters ro show up with a crew in hazmat suits like those America
I feel so bad for this lady. If anyone who has hoarding tendencies, could you please share your feelings, and why it's so hard for you to clean up and get rid of obvious garbage? What;s going on inside of your mind and soul when you know it's not right way of life, but still not changing it?
I would start small and get the bathroom cleaned, then move on to the kitchen, seem they would have the easiest things to sort through and then gently move onto the living room and then the bedroom.
See I have a little collecting myself. Which watching these shows, help me not go over board on stuff. Besides are my children going want any of it, after I die. Probably only a tiny bit.
We certainly have come a long way in the last 50 years. We used to call those young adults who could not cope with the simplest problems including anxiety as childish, spoiled, or stupid rather than mentally challenged with some sort of syndrome. Those who kept homes like this were called lazy, physically unwell, or slobs rather than having a hoarding compulsion. Now we have a lot of excuses for our quirks.
They also thought lobotomy was a cure for most mental illnesses. It's understanding why people do things that actually help more than humiliation and judging
I can't believe how hard those ladies worked while Bubbles sat on her bum the whole time. She has learnt absolutely nothing. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
You seem clueless about mental illness, trauma and chronic illness. It's worth taking the effort to understand before jumping to judgement. Also an Aussie. 🇦🇺
If you give someone a taste of what life is like without the hoarding it opens their eyes to a new world. I agree that many don’t change, but helping them is still a beautiful thing to do. It’s getting past the trauma that caused it and that’s not as easy for some as others. Aussie here too.
Hoarding doesn't come from the physical inability to throw things out or take them to a charity shop, nor someone simply not knowing how to clean up such that it's a task they need to 'learn' as you put it. Simply getting up and working with the ladies to pack things away was never the issue. You're mistaking the issue of hoarding and how mental illness, trauma and such intersects with a moral judgement on being lazy, stupid, slovenly etc. The reason the ladies are doing most of the work is to enable her to focus on processing emotionally along side the physical act, eliminating some of the overwhelm, the freeze or flop response that it can trigger and working alongside the grief counsellors to help address the root issues that cause the hoarding. If you don't get it, feel glad that you've not been there. You're as subject to your neurochemistry as anyone else on the planet.
People deal with grief differently, just because you didn't hoard things, don't mean someone else wouldn't. I know widows and widowers who remarried a couple months after a spouse died and I know some who never wanted to love again. I know people who sold everything and people who held onto everything....you can judge people on your standards
I am happy they repeat as I had never seen this and could relate to Bubbles having an issues with not keeping her mother's items. For me it was my mother's clothes that she dearly loved. My mother always dressed nicely.
11.13.2024 I didn't see where they started cleaning, but it should've been in the KITCHEN. They all laugh & joke while she is not only putting herself, her dog & all of the other residents in jeopardy. Doesn't that 15 story building have any inspections of any kind? I live in a 3 story building in the states & we have inspections at least 4 times a year; plus others. We're not allowed to have anything setting on top of the stove or stored in the oven. We can not have the path to the windows blocked. I could go on & on, but these are the major safety issues. Common sense people!!! 😵💫
What are they supposed to do? Cry and scream and run around in a frenzy? They're getting work done and having some fun. I lived in a townhouse and an apartment in the states and never had an inspection. I guess it depends on where you live

Kudos to the cameraman who focused on her lovely little dog, daisy.
*Maisy
had their priorities straight.
Bubbles is such a delightful lady! I can see why she has many friends.

18:30 I noticed that Bubbles newly cleaned room was already refilled with bags again when she was talking to the grief counselor 😢
Oh bubbles you are just beautiful. I’m so proud of you, and I bet daisy will be loving the extra space too. You should be proud 🥰
Her stuff actually looks clean and nice as opposed to the disgusting rubbish other hoarders have
She has beautiful things, too. That gorgeous rocking horse, statues and the beautiful, bring colors. I think her place looks amazing! 😊❤
The car and rocking horse are brilliant!
Sooner or later the creepy crawlers are going to show up.
American hoarders are BAD, we excel at messes
Yeah, I noticed that as well
It looks like she has nice things, but nowhere to store it. I like some of the things she has. This is a good episode, TY for sharing it. God Bless You & stay safe.
I love her furniture and the rocking horse. She has some nice things.
Those two really are the A-Z of organisation...👍☮️❤
Lovely lady . Wish her all the best xx
Bubbles is the sweetest woman, and it’s wonderful how the divas are so caring and respectful of her mums memory and of her feelings. Best advice given while getting rid of things that can go. ❤😊
Best episode!! Bubbles was funny & lovely❤
Bless her. Im glad her mums supporting her from heaven.
I want those shoes in the hallway 😂
What a very warm nice bubble woman, good luck bubbels, and Maisy 😍

The dog is old, but very cute 😻
The poor dog!!:(
I know what Bubbles is going through. Losing both of my parents, there are certain things I can't get rid of because they belonged to my parents.
I feel so bad for this lady. If anyone who has hoarding tendencies, could you please share your feelings, and why it's so hard for you to clean up and get rid of obvious garbage? What;s going on inside of your mind and soul when you know it's not right way of life, but still not changing it?
I would start small and get the bathroom cleaned, then move on to the kitchen, seem they would have the easiest things to sort through and then gently move onto the living room and then the bedroom.
wonder if Bubbles has ever watched "trailer park boys" to see the other Bubbles
See I have a little collecting myself. Which watching these shows, help me not go over board on stuff. Besides are my children going want any of it, after I die. Probably only a tiny bit.
Lovely, Cockney lady. Hope she can get herself sorted out regarding her hoarding.........
love Bubbles❤❤

An explanation is a good way to build a starting structure to improve, and it really lets you be nicer to yourself instead of wallowing in anxiety
They also thought lobotomy was a cure for most mental illnesses. It's understanding why people do things that actually help more than humiliation and judging

Poor lady
that like.ppl who keeps old washers dryers old newspapers cans and even old cats that don't run and ect i know ppl like that
The dog would mean so. Much to me i couldn't be so selfish we all have family deaths
People deal with grief differently, just because you didn't hoard things, don't mean someone else wouldn't. I know widows and widowers who remarried a couple months after a spouse died and I know some who never wanted to love again.

Another Repeat; this was on earlier in the year.
I am happy they repeat as I had never seen this and could relate to Bubbles having an issues with not keeping her mother's items. For me it was my mother's clothes that she dearly loved. My mother always dressed nicely.
It's very old for a "reality" show--I saw it the first time seven years ago, and it was at least seven years old back then.
What's wrong with the dog, so sleepy
This is an old video.
Yes, a very old one.
Mazie was the best
Yep. I'm not at all fond of small dogs, but she was the best behaved living being on the show.
I baby junk hoard sucks better things to do pickleball tennis 🎾 massages
Funny thing..there is no humbleness in this woman. She forgot Hod
I would love to befriend Bubbles, she is such a nice person. I would try to help her to get the help so I could help her to get her life back.
This episode is many years old, and she likely isn't alive anymore. Certainly the dog isn't.
Bubbles...........really??
Nickname, not her real name.
Where are the hoarder's friends?,... are they inside the boxes bought by loneliness?.

I know Britts are different but the cheerfulness of the narrator's voice is off putting to mt American ear
