I sit at my keyboard, and I am crying my heart out. I just learned of the passing of someone special, Sidney Patrick. Her blog will be continued by Greg, and you can check it out here:

She was just interviewed a few short weeks ago for the Huffington Post on hoarding. You can see the video clip here:

She was one of two friends that guest hosted my blog when I got this started, and has encouraged me to just stop thinking about it and DO IT already!
You are missed. I will miss your emails, your comments on social media, the funny and irreverent text messages...
Rest in peace.
My name is Lisabeth, and I am the adult child of a compulsive hoarding mother. The take away from my journey is that the hoard is merely a symptom of a life threatening, relationship-destroying mental illness. An illness that often includes behaviors from addiction, child/domestic abuse, and personality disorders such as narcissistic personality disorder. Stay, read, and please, by all means, intervene if you see a child being raised in the shadow of the hoard.
