[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm the OP of the post about my kids' Christmas presents which are currently lost in my mother's hoard. I have no advice and only offer my sympathies. My father was a hoarder as well (they were divorced so he was in his own house) and when he died, it took 4 construction-sized dumpsters to clear out just his little house, not even his garage. He was a scientist so we had to spend $18K to get the chemicals safely out of his garage. The hard part is that when everything is special, nothing is special. After a day or so of sorting through it all, my brother and I started just throwing everything out--it's just too tiring to go through everything. Really, in the end, all that's important is photo albums. I beg all hoarders to include in their hoarding tendencies a need to put names, dates and locations on their photos. OP, if you can get her to do a photo album project, it might help you later on. [/quote]
