Dear Purple57, It is so heartbreaking to hear that your sister 3g is so terribly ill. I have always enjoyed her posts and she brightened my day many times. Always so supportive and such an inspiration! Please let her know that Hurtnbroke sends hugs and prayers and many thanks.  I lost my only sister and last immediate member of my family 2 1/2 years ago and had to suddenly get up out of a sickbed myself and fly to the other side of the U.S. in very wintry weather to deal with arranging everything imaginable to include closing out her apartment which though it was not as bad as my place it was still an extreme hardship on me physically and financially. I was under severe pressure for two weeks and nearly had a physical and emotional breakdown 2200 miles from home in dealing with all I had to do to include the financial squalor my sister had accumulated. I loved my sister and I bear no grudge against her just sadness for the bad turns her life had taken and the isolation from her family (me).  It has been very difficult. I am praying for you also Purple. 3g's message is so very true and I thank her for it. Be Blessed! |

I am cry over our 3g and purple
however I do not 100 percent agree that we have to clean up our things for someone else if it brings us joy--------- before we know we are dying or living with cancer---
yes--it is just stuff and you all know papa David left me a lot of stuff that I am still working but unable to put much energy into that due to my terminal cancer condition-- but I am not angry with him nor me---we enjoyed what we had and maybe if our daughters had been willing to spend more time with us we would not have turned to stuff for joy--- some of you know my story re family and drugs and that is all I am going to say--but I hate drugs more than clutter-
I am cleaning out a lot because of my dear grand daughter because I know she has hoarding tendencies and because I no longer want the stuff --
however I understand the said feelings here even though I think that we cannot live as tho we might die tomorrow unless some thing happens that changes who we are -
I still have too much stuff according to ''normal standards '' but my house is clean and most of it is not junk but I have no guilty feelings of leaving it behind for someone else to toss or keep --
this cancer is a horrid thing to happen to us and very unfair and we just have to muddle through now and enjoy the time we have -
hugs Meme

i appreciate that everyone has been able to speak about such raw emotions with such love and respect... i am sorry for the pain and suffering so many here have experienced. but so proud that people can be supportive through it all.
I'm glad purple wrote what she did, mom hoarded and it left me with a burden...
and glad meme wrote what she did because while i feel anger i am not and was never angry with anyone person but rather the cruelty of the situation.
spots in my heart for all of you. they will never be empty even after we aren't able to share words here.
much love 3G.

Oh Purple what a sad story and although I have not been on this site that long, want to send hugs to 3G too. Thank you so much Purple for your warning message! I do not want to leave my children with so much to deal with, and that is one reason I have turned a corner recently and started throwing things away quite ruthlessly. I don't have the best health and it is one of my fears that I will die and leave my children to deal with all the stuff I have in boxes and bags. I also read this morning the post about the hoarders who have lost their children due to hoarding, and this wouldn't leave my mind all day, the horrible thought that through just hoarding junk and stuff, people could lose their most precious possessions, their children. I have found it so hard to get rid of anything from the time my son was younger, and I worked out why.....because my baby boy was diagnosed with cancer when he was 18 months old, and he was sick for a year in hospital, I felt like I lost all that time with him, so I hold onto things from that time. But I realised that holding onto clothes and toys is not going to make me get back the time I lost with him.  |

Threeg (3g) died this morning at 7AM. Thank you all for your kind words. This site is one that was a favorite of hers, and she asked me to let people here know. She didn't suffer, and her only son was able to be with her.

Serendipity, I think it was perfectly fine for you to bump this thread. Even though it can be painful to think about the loss of board members that have passed away, this message from Purple and 3g is timeless and it's something we all need to think about every once in a while. Thank you for bumping it so that members who haven't seen it will have a chance to read it.

I was reading a thread about demand resistance, and found myself drawn, yet again, to re-read this thread.
Taking care of what is mine to take care of, because I do not want to cause someone else pain, danger, or difficulty....
That touches my heart in a way that yet again, feels real and honest, and lets me approach the daunting tasks with a softer view. Less of the putting myself under pressure.
Love and thanks to Meme and 3G who have gone on, and to all.
