Unlocking the Secrets to Overcoming Hoarding: A Comprehensive Guide

Headline and Contact Info for mental health support

When we hear the term 'hoarding,' images of cluttered homes, newspapers stacked to the ceiling, and pathways lined with belongings often come to mind. For those dealing with hoarding tendencies or living with a hoarder, these scenes are not just a distant possibility—they are a stark reality. The battle against hoarding is multi-faceted, challenging, and deeply personal. The range of the battle is from physically accumulating to the emotion of reasons why you can't let it go.

Can Hoarding Be Cured?

This blog will take you deeper into hoarding. From understanding the psychology of hoarding to life-changing success stories, we hope to give hope and inspiration to individuals affected by hoarding. Believe us, recovery is possible!

Please note: we are not mental health professionals. While we share information and stories related to hoarding cleanup and recovery, it is for creating awareness and support from a cleanup standpoint.

Hoarding Cleaning: The Psychology of Hoarding

What motivates someone to hoard? It starts with this: Hoarding has almost nothing to do with the straightforward desire to acquire or living with a lack of cleanliness. For most, hoarding is done to feel safe or in control, and the items collected have a special attachment or meaning.

Collectors vs. Hoarders

Even though collectors and hoarders both compile objects, there is a big difference between them, which is the relationship they have with the objects in their collections. Collectors are usually systematic and deliberate, deriving pleasure from carefully selected objects. However, hoarders have difficulty deciding what to discard, so their living environment becomes dysfunctional.

The Impact on Homes and Families

The effects of hoarding are not limited to the individual concerned. Hoarded homes are usually rendered unusable, and hence, they threaten basic living.

The Physical Toll

The physical consequences of hoarding are profound, from fire hazards and structural damage to health risks such as vermin infestations, mold growth, and the chance of falls.

The Emotional Shadow

Hoarding casts a huge emotional burden on the minds of the hoarders and their family members. Shame, anxiety, and isolation are all common emotions of the hoarder; family members can feel frustration, fear, and the massive task of supporting their loved one.

Can Hoarding Be Cured? Steps to Recovery

The Cleanup Plan

A straightforward step-by-step process to declutter a hoarded home is essential. This means setting small, attainable goals, working in a set order, and calling in professionals and volunteers who can help and understand the unique needs and difficulties that come with hoarding. Look at the ultimate hoarding cleanup checklist made by our partners at Bio-One of Oceanside: 4-Step Plan For a Successful Hoarding Cleaning.

The Restoration of Hoarded Minds

True recovery is accomplished by targeting the root causes of hoarding. This requires psychological therapy, a network of support, and a willingness to change.

The Role of Therapy

Counseling and treatment for hoarding range as much as the causes behind the behavior. One form of treatment is exposure therapy, in which individuals are slowly but surely conditioned into discarding possessions. Group therapy and other therapies also come with some tools for stress and emotional management.

Recovering together: support networks:

Support groups offer a special place for hoarders and their families to share experiences, benefit from others who have been down the road of recovery, and benefit from the healing process. These networks lessen isolation and work to interrupt the cycle of shame.

Where to go for change:

There is lots of information for those seeking recovery. Essential resources include:

  • "Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring, Saving, and Hoarding," by David F. Tolin, Randy O. Frost, and Gail Steketee
  • International OCD Foundation's Hoarding Center
  • Clutterers Anonymous
  • National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO)

Can Hoarding Be Cured?

No known absolute cure exists for hoarding, but recovery is possible, and the condition can be managed effectively. Recovery can be a rocky process, but it is possible with continued dedication and assistance.

This is a followup to Bio-One Fremont's earlier blog regarding next steps after the passing of a family member or friend. You may find the first blog here.

The loss of a loved one leaves the world frozen in time, encased in a fog of sorrow and denial. At this moment that the tasks and arrangements to be managed seem many and insurmountable, like a mountainous journey for which one is ill-prepared. Yet amidst the sorrow and the pain, these tasks beckon for attention, demanding a semblance of normalcy in a world turned upside down. Although actual circumstances of a death can vary so widely—from the expected passing after years of illness to the sudden loss that leaves us stunned—the nuts and bolts of what must be done afterward have common threads.

The purpose of this guide is not to add to the weight of your loss but to provide a soft roadmap through the maze of practicalities that follow a loved one's departure. This checklist serves as a starting point, a foundational guide for navigating the first steps after loss. The following sections will go into each checklist item in more detail, supplying insights, tips, and resources to support you in your processing at every step of the way. Whether it is the arrangements for your funeral, administering your estate, or just understanding the rights and support available to you, this guide may hopefully help cast a little light on matters at such a dark time. I am here to direct you in these first essential steps after your loss with compassion and understanding.

Establish Organ Donor Status

Immediately following the death of a loved one, you will likely be scrambling with a variety of responsibilities. Among the first things that pop into mind, probably, is if your lost loved one wanted to donate their organs. The decision can potentially save or enhance the quality of countless lives, so it's essential.

You should:

  1. Look for Documentation
  • Look through personal files and other similar places for some form of documentation that discusses the desire to donate organs. This is most often found on a driver's license, and there will be a little icon that suggests the person wants to donate their organs. In some cases, an advanced health care directive or living will have some indication about their willingness to donate organs.
  1. Inform Medical Personnel
  • If you are informed that the person you love is an organ donor, be sure to notify the medical personnel involved as soon as possible. The timing is essential with regard to organ donation, so the physicians will need to be informed at the earliest opportunity to maintain the viability of the organs.
  1. Understand the Process
  • Organ donation is managed with extreme sensitivity and respect for the donor and his family. It's helpful to familiarize yourself with the process, including additional consent forms, discussions about which organs or tissues can be donated, and the steps involved in the donation procedure.
  1. Consider the Benefits
  • While it's a profoundly personal decision, understanding the impact of organ donation can offer some comfort during this difficult time. Every organ donor can save a life of up to eight people, while the tissue donations can critically improve the life of up to 75.
  1. Seek Support if Necessary
  • Deciding on organ donation in a time of mourning can seem like an uphill task. Do not hesitate to seek information from hospital employees, organ donation organizations, or a trusted advisor who will render you information and support.
  1. Respecting the Wishes of the Loved One
  • At the end of the day, the organs should be donated depending on what the deceased would have wanted. If they did not make known their decision, then the decision would fall upon the next of kin, and this must be based on what they think the deceased would have wanted.

Contact the Necessary Authorities

When a loved one passes away at home without medical supervision, it’s crucial to know the immediate steps to take. This not only ensures that their death is legally documented but also that you’re guided through the initial stages of managing their passing.

Here's what to do:

  1. Call Emergency Services
  • In the case of an unexpected death, your first move should be to contact emergency services (911 in the United States), who will send the appropriate help to your location.
  1. Inform the Operator
  • Try as much as possible to indicate the situation to the operator clearly; say that there is a dead body at home and, during death, there was no medical supervision. Give any information about the medical history of the deceased or circumstances around their death that may be relevant.
  1. Follow Instructions
  • You may be given specific instructions by the call taker. For example, you might be told not to move the body of the deceased or to make any attempt at resuscitation if it's obvious they are dead.
  1. Police Involvement
  • At times, especially if the death is sudden, the police, together with health workers, respond to the scene. They will engage by ensuring that no tricks were played and will officially document the occurrence.
  1. Medical Examiner or Coroner's Office
  • For jurisdictions or when a medical examiner or coroner calls for one's death, depending on the nature. If this must take place, emergency services or the police will work together.
  1. Documentation:
  • The officials at the scene will help you know what initial documentation needs. For example, you may be required to make a legal pronouncement of death for burial arrangements and executing the deceased's will, among other matters.
  1. Ask Questions
  • Do not hold back any questions you may have regarding the issue from the authorities around. These officials will guide you on the very next steps—what you need to do and what you need to do with the body of the deceased.
  1. Stay Calm and Respectful
  • Yes, it is an emotional situation, but remain as calm as possible and respectful while the authorities get on with their job. These people are there to aid you in this difficult moment and to ensure that everything has been done rightly and decently.

Take Care of Dependents' Immediate Needs

Immediately after the demise of a loved one, it is necessary to take care of any dependents: children, old family members, or pets. This is an essential time for making adjustments and dealing with their immediate needs by giving them all support and help should put less pressure on you.

Here's what to do:

  1. Secure a Safe, Compassionate Caregiver for Children
  • If the children are affected by the loss, it's essential that you find somewhere safe and comforting for them to stay. Contact a close family member, friend, or caregiver that your children know and trust. This person should be emotionally supportive and available to care for them for around 24–48 hours while you attend to immediate needs with less stress.
  1. Explain the Situation Appropriately
  • As appropriate for the children's age, explain what has happened in an understanding manner. Assure them that they are being taken care of and that you are there to support them.
  1. Consider Wishes and Family Dynamics of the Deceased
  • If the deceased has communicated any specific wishes regarding whom they want to care for their dependents or any particular family dynamics, consider these when making arrangements. It is good to honor these wishes as much as possible, provided they are in the best interest of the dependents.
  1. Make Provision for Care of Pets
  • Pets experience loss, too, and can become anxious or stressed. Arrange with someone who can care for them personally or through a pet care service. Be sure to inform the caretaker about the routine, dietary needs, and medical condition of the pet.
  1. Share What You Deem Essential Information And Provides
  • The stand-in caregiver needs to receive all pertinent information about children or pets, including emergency contact numbers, medical records, dietary restrictions, and favorite toys or comfort items. It helps to keep the situation as normal as possible.
  1. Keep the Lines of Communication Open.
  • Make sure the children and caregiver have the means to get in touch with you if necessary. Open communication helps to assure them that your dependents are well taken care of in your absence.
  1. Long-Term Needs Assessment
  • It would be good at this point to start reflecting on long-term arrangements for the dependents regarding caring for and sustaining their well-being given the family's loss.

Communicate with Family Members and Friends

The task of informing other people that a member of their family has died is one that calls for much sensitivity. It is a stage of support and shared grief that can also be overwhelming. Deciding on the people who need to know first or those who can wait will go a long way toward keeping this task manageable for a person without it becoming an overwhelming task.

Here's how to approach it:

  1. Begin with the Closest Circle
  • The first people to hear the news should be those in the closest circle—the deceased's spouse, children, siblings, and best friends. These people will want to hear about the death directly from you, not through social media or any other source.
  1. Use a Phone Call for Immediate Family
  • A phone call is the most personal and respectful way to inform people within the closest circle. They make possible an immediate, compassionate response and provide an avenue for caring and mutual support.
  1. Think of a Trusted Delegate.
  • If this is too overwhelming for you, it's okay to ask a trusted family member or friend to notify others. Ensure the person chosen is someone close to the deceased who can be sensitive to the task.
  1. Make a Contact List
  • List friends, distant family members, colleagues, and acquaintances to contact after informing the immediate circle. Organize this list in some order of

    health, we are here to help.

     

    Get clear
    on what you really want: The first step to asking for help is knowing what you
    want, well, aside from willingness. Think about what kind of support you need
    and what you desire as a result. When looking for help, knowing what you need
    (or not) is all the difference in the world: whether it may be a sympathetic
    ear, professional advice, or a just someone (or group) to check on you
    regularly, the clearer the better in what sense you feel better with making the
    leap of asking help from professionals or the people around you, working
    together to find the solutions downtime.

     

    Selecting
    individuals to talk to : Well this is a naive but still important decision. A
    search for person you trust and can openly share your mental health things with
    This person may be a friend, family member, mentor, or mental health
    professional. Just keep in mind that you are never going through all these
    alone and there are people who truly do care for you and are willing to help.

     

    Select your
    moment and setting wisely Initiating a conversation on your mental health can
    be heavily influenced based on when you decide to talk and the setting you
    choose. Choose a setting that is quiet and with no distractions where you can
    speak without feeling judged. Secondly, factor in their availability and try to
    schedule a chat when they are less likely to be super busy and can give you the
    support you need.

     

    Talking
    about it: Mental health is a difficult discussion to have, but you need to own
    up to how you feel and not sugar coat what you are experiencing. Begin by
    articulating what you believe to be the problem and why you need help. Instead,
    express your feelings with "I" statements that avoid assigning blame
    or judgment-about yourself or others. Prepare yourself for and open the floor
    to follow-up questions and relevant context, and never feel afraid to step away
    or end the conversation if began feel your anxiety spiraling again.

     

    Pat
    yourself on the back: It takes guts and nerve to ask for help, so take some
    time to recognize and congratulate yourself on your courage. Whether or not
    your convo goes well, this act alone of being proactive whilst looking after
    your mental health is a huge win for you so be proud. So there you go; take
    pride in yourself for making such a powerful self-care, healing choice.
