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!!
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 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.
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! ❤
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Kudos to the cameraman who focused on her lovely little dog, daisy.

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.
Bless her. Im glad her mums supporting her from heaven.
Lovely lady . Wish her all the best xx
The poor dog!!:(
Best episode!! Bubbles was funny & lovely❤
What a very warm nice bubble woman, good luck bubbels, and Maisy 😍

wonder if Bubbles has ever watched "trailer park boys" to see the other Bubbles
Lovely, Cockney lady. Hope she can get herself sorted out regarding her hoarding.........
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.
Poor lady

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
Another Repeat; this was on earlier in the year.

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.
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 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 🇦🇺 ❤

This is an old video.
Yes, a very old one.
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.
I know Britts are different but the cheerfulness of the narrator's voice is off putting to mt American ear
