My heart goes out to her, and to you because you try so hard to help her and you care. I really wish her family would step in, take steps to end the situation. While it would upset her terribly right now, she would find peace in the order when it's finished, and she's in a small place where there isn't room to load it up again.Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-45533551571001100482017-01-03T12:46:11.294-06:002017-01-03T12:46:11.294-06:00I feel so sorry for this woman.

Yes she needs help unfortunately unless she wants that help, I'm not sure what you can do unless you can get the officials involved. <br />I've been trying to get rid of stuff and even after getting the materials out of the house, there is still some to get out. My wife does a great jobs of cleaning our home and we're both cleaning and getting stuff out each day because one of these days, we will be selling the home. <br />I will pray for this old lady. See ya.<br /><br />Cruisin PaulPaul Pietrangelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997368569947980343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-9849511262941216202017-01-03T10:44:17.531-06:002017-01-03T10:44:17.531-06:00My parents always stocked up on too much stuff.

They never wanted to throw anything out and couldn't resist a bargain. They had cans and cans of vegetables.

You need an intervention, but it would have to be a family member that has the power to make the decisions.

I once bought a book on how to do it but that just meant I added a book to my thousands already filling the house to bursting. Last year we took a couple of dozen bin bags of things to the charity shops but it seems to have made no difference.

I too feel the reason is that they find it so hard to make decisions. But sometimes trying to help sort and organise can lead to accusations of stealing so you are right to just clean around it.
