Hoarders ❤️ Extreme Declutter Basement 2022 Part 8 | Hoarding & Trauma | Clutter Free

[@bri-crossing]

"It's better to give it to a baby now, than being hoarded in my basement." Such powerful words. I'm so sorry for your losses but you will gift so many mamas with your amazing gift giving. And I'm glad Pepper helps you along the way. Such a great support kitty. 🐈‍⬛️❤️

[@mangopuppybaby]

It’s so powerful! I had a basement that flooded and I had to toss a lot of baby stuff. This stuff will bless a baby indeed ❤️

[@djladygee]

I knew when you opened the box that this would be emotional, but I didn't think you would declutter it, what a surprise you did, well done. It is hard but it's an incredible step towards recovery. Keep positive memories not negative. Miss Pepper is your baby for sure, she keeps following you around, she is so sweet. 🥰❤🧡💛🧡❤😍

[@karenstairs8273]

God Bless you for helping all the Babies in need. Your Angels are looking down on you and are pleased and proud

[@keelienne]

Oh Miss Heart, letting go of the whole tub is SO BIG 💜 I learned that if I want to let my traumas heal, I have to make sure that the scars don’t break open all the time too. When this tub is leaving your house, not only blesses it a new family a lot! But it will not be there anymore to remind you of that big losses you had. Saying that, I have a tub with babythings in my own basement.. and watching you helps me to heal too.. I lost that baby in the first trimester too, we didn’t even make it to a heartbeat, and that I even got pregnant was a miracle in itself. I want to let go of my tub within the next week. I am collecting strength.. please say a little prayer for me 💜

[@keelienne]

And by the way: by weeding out your belongings, you are even safer then you were before. Because if all your sentimental and important things are collected and labeled, they are way more visible and available to you, in times you feel insecure and meet them! You are doing an impressive job, I am very proud of you!

[@holiday991]

Maybe say a blessing to your items to bless babies in the future before you let them go.

[@keelienne]

@@holiday991 That is a great idea, I will do this! After I watched this video and decided, it is time to let go and close this chapter.. I left my house to call my boyfriend (inside I have no reception) and tell him. He is a pilgrim at the moment on Camino in Portugal, and just today he met a couple that invited him and sang a song for him, and although he is no religious believer this touched him to tears, and continuing his way he cried a lot and reflected on all the things that happened to him over the past years. (Writing this down, I start crying again..) And finally, although he never wanted children, he started mourning our baby too. He said he saw the two of us together with a little boy, and he was sad for the chance that we missed. Some things just cannot be accidental.

[@keelienne]

Me watching Miss Heart starting to let go, and deciding that it is time for me to do so too.. him grieving for the first time, not pushing his thoughts and feelings aside as he does too often.. We have not talked on telephone for two weeks now, but today we did. And both of us wanted to talk about this, not having it mentioned for over a year now. And while we were talking, a car parked and neighbors I do not now got out with two sleeping children, one of them a newborn boy. I am anxious to talk to strangers, but I paused my boyfriend and ran after them to ask if they could still use some of the things I have, like a crib or clothes or bottles.. The woman couldn't understand but called her husband back, and he was very hesitant. But I showed where I live an he could come and ring and take a look if he could use anything. Who knows, maybe he will or maybe he won't, than I try to give it to another family. But this is too much to be accidental!

[@tngirlz4622]

Prayer said. God bless!

[@cynicallyyours61]

I had 5 miscarriages and was never able to have children, my body wasn't meant to carry a child. I am 60 years old and there are days I wish I could have been a mom. I was blessed with many neices and nephews from siblings and close friends. I now have grand nieces and grandnephews. And have had lots of furbabies to love over the years. Bless you ❤

[@savannahbanks]

Good point about the brain needing to take its own time to heal.

[@TheRealCcE]

I never thought of donation like that. That’s so precious. 💕

[@emilysullivan4031]

When you were going through that tub, I just wanted to give you a big hug! So when those items go away, just imagine a great big, gentle hug coming your way. You're doing amazing, and every bit gets a bit better.

[@CreativeHomescaping]

Wow, I’m so impressed you were able to declutter the baby items. That shows how much you’ve healed. With them gone you won’t have the physical reminder of those sad times and you can know that another family may be benefiting from them.

[@brg2743]

Anything that isn't being used will help someone if it is good condition. Baby clothes really help those trying to stay within a budget. You did good!

[@JoJo-ul4qs]

Girl that is the point of decluttering getting rid of clutter so you have room to store and appreciate the things you love you will have the room in your basement once the clutter is gone. Great Job you are making so much progress each video.

[@cheriemowry7167]

I am a horder in crafts and watching you It makes me feel good knowing to give to people that are in need ,thank you for your help

[@CleanHouseSimpleMama]

You did such a good job! Like you said, letting go of those baby things doesn't mean you're letting go of their memories. Proud of you 🤗🥰. The babies that will receive those items will feel your love too!

[@carly1478]

Fantastic job 👏 👍 👌

[@savannahbanks]

I love your honesty to the camera! ♥️♥️♥️🦘🦘🦘

[@alanbirkner1958]

I watched this again today. I have to tell you how strong you are. You gave me strength just because I watched your honesty. Tina, Al's wife

[@lifeasandrea280]

Wow I am so incredibly proud of your growth, your honesty and your strength. Incredible

[@carolinacueva5460]

you are being a blessing, God bless you and your family forever .🏡😇

[@suzannerockall4030]

Soooooo strong ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@priscillalange1222]

I have tears in my eyes because you're so strong and I am so proud of you. You are a beacon of light for people with hoarding problems.Through you, I understood that my hoarding was a form of anxiety and walls to keep me safe. Thank you for all that you do now and what you will do in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@LoriTaylorSmithGA]

Wow! Awesome work!

[@cleanwithsarah3798]

I love your MLP comforter! I would keep that gem too.

[@denver1865]

This is a testament to your strength and your understanding of yourself. I applaud you. Also I love your kittycat. Great job!

[@prezygotic]

I cried along with you. I’m so proud of you!!!

[@susannayliniemi-liias7060]

You are just amazing!

[@allioakley3372]

Bless you. Hugs🤗💗

[@camillaanderberg2956]

You are doing so great!! I just want to hug you cause you are so much stronger than you know ❤️ those baby's that receive all those amazing gifts will be so blessed. ❤️

[@tirzahmyers3392]

Not gonna lie, I teared up watching you go through that baby bin. Hugs.

[@LorreneRomanic]

You are doing so well ❤ You are blessing other people. And I truly believe that if you have more children, you will be blessed with more than you could ever need 💓

[@lucystrider728]

You are doing such a wonderful job seeing the good reasons for letting go of things you are not currently using that someone else could use!

[@bluejay5531]

This was such a huge step in your healing...sending you a big hug dear unicorn heart 💚

[@talitha5502]

Melanie, I'm catching up on your old videos that I missed and I had to tell you I am so proud of you. I remember when you talked to us about your miscarriages. I know getting rid of baby things was too painful for you but you did it today. I have never had miscarriages so I can't say that I understand what it is like but I want to tell you that you are such a kind and incredible person that you are able to bless other mommies when you are in pain. We love you so much ❤️🙏🤗

[@StillWatersASMR]

Well done for the incredible progress you've made. You should be so proud of all of the work you've put in. And thank you so much for talking so openly and honestly about it and the process. We need more understanding about these things. I'd also like to add - even once you've worked through all the trauma, there's absolutely nothing wrong with keeping things that bring you joy. Like the my little pony that you were taking upstairs. There's nothing wrong with a grown adult having something like that in their house of it genuinely brings them joy and they have space for it. I love how you demonstrate that on your channel that you don't have to get rid of EVERYTHING. It's OK to keep some things and by allowing ourselves to do that it makes us feel more at ease about getting rid of the rest of the stuff.

[@MissVasques]

The drawer of gift bags is a great idea and maybe it’ll work for you. My mind see it being filled to the brim and beyond, bags being pushed in, pushed around and forgotten. I suggest finding a way to organise them that makes them easy to flip through but keeps them nice and a bit seperated. Like maybe a plastic file folder. But hey that is just me and how my mind works, perhaps you are more like Clutterbug and just want big open bins etc that are Quick to put things away but longer to find something. You do you;) Anyways, lovely to see you chipping away in the basement. It truly is inspring to see how far you’ve come over the years. Btw love your colorful nails they make happy. Hugs to you for the emotions you’ve dealt with.

[@lucindanease7857]

Sorry didn't finish. May God give you the strength to know we love you and you're never alone

[@HTNPSullivan]

It's because things like those baby clothes cause so much sadness that it's healing to remove them, so we are living in the present. A lot of hoarding is about trying to hold onto a feeling. In this case, the baby clothes used to represent hope, but then became a reminder of loss and sorrow. So whether we can bless someone else with these things or not, removing them will lighten our spirit. Unchaining ourselves from so much stuff that doesn't serve the person we want to be is a beautiful gift to ourselves.

[@bethchadwick422]

I've always felt privileged to be able to watch your progress over the past few years, but I was genuinely moved to tears watching your strength in this episode. Your progress, strength, and power are exponential. I'm so proud of you! ❤❤

[@tammys5687]

You made me cry when you were talking about the baby clothes.

[@kebvr25]

😭 so proud of you!!!

[@Excellence2430]

Nice video, great performance my dear friend and excellent content. Thank you for your cooperation, I wish you a happy life always

[@sinaain]

Letting go of that baby stuff is such a big step for you and I am glad you are seeing someone to help you with your losses and trauma! Glad that miss pepper is here to get you some comfort.

[@sarahjohn1484]

I had tears in my eyes from the moment you opened that bin. That was the most beautiful breakthrough!

[@josephdaly2015]

Miss Heart ❤️ my thoughts and prayers are with you. You are such a strong woman and being able to let go of that amount of baby stuff is monumental. Be gentle with yourself. I’m so glad to hear you are getting the help you deserve with the traumas you’ve suffered. You are such an inspiration to me and so many others, thank you 🙏 Miss Pepper is minding you too 🐈 Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife ❤️💐🙏👏👍💪🐈🦄

[@heatherpobursky-smith6984]

I'm not sure about the right words. My heart broke with you when you talked about the miscarriages and you letting go of the baby clothes. I see your progress and I pray for your healing to keep getting better. I don't ever expect you to be minimalist but I want you to live safe and happy with your family.

[@abbimunford1922]

Recovering from a miscarriage is hard...had one 5 years ago and I still tear up when I think or talk about that baby

[@ajenkinson3443]

So proud of you xxx

[@eavening4149]

Mrs. Heart, we all adore you so. You are amazing, so loving and giving.

[@julielines5929]

So much growth! You are an inspiration!

[@autumnsevens8969]

My heart goes out to you. I went through 2 miscarriages, experienced a miracle with my 3rd pregnancy & were blessed with our daughter but was told to not have any more kids because we both nearly died & they said the next time - I wouldn't make it & to not be able to raise our precious little girl was an even more intolerable pain than not being able to have the big family I always wanted. By sharing those baby clothes is blessing some other family and even though it still hurts, it brings a warm happiness to the heart. Hug your sons and pray that when they grow up, they marry wonderful women who produce grandchildren, although not quite the same as being able to have more kids of your own.. grandchildren are the next best thing!

[@fionasimagination]

I'm so proud of you 👏 💓

[@lusanne77]

I cried about the baby items… you’re such a strong girl!!

[@marthabitzky7702]

I cried too! Kind of sad but such a blessing she can let go. Hang in there! God will bless you in other ways🙏for letting go and blessing others

[@taraa3456]

This is one I will need to come back to when the time is right. I’ve lost 10 pregnancies (like you I fall easily but they never stick) and had 3 poor rounds of IVF in 2020-22. I don’t have any living children so we are keeping on until the time is right to stop. I’m almost 40 so time will do that for us anyway. I have a cot, a pram, baby clothes and maternity wear I will need to part with one day but that will be part of my ‘accepting childlessness’ journey and I’m simply not there yet. This trauma is hard so hats off to you for being so strong! Big hug x

[@londawhitt6841]

👍😊

[@gildaalvarez2985]

I've never seen one of your videos within 1 minute of posting! Yay!!

[@amynanfito248]

I had the same thing happen to me. Multiple miscarriage after having 2 kids. We decided to stop trying. When I gave all the baby items away, it was very emotional for me. But I noticed once they were gone, I had an easier time with getting over not having more children. It was like keeping the items were keeping me wishing/wanting things to be different.

[@yardenvk]

you are amazing giving to babies, im sure its a big help

[@jenwalmsely]

Yes, giving away those baby clothes to help someone else is being a mother to the mothers who are struggling. You are strong 💙

[@nadinewilliamson1037]

Each declutter gets a new layer of emotions. I'm so proud of you.

[@Raxx777]

looks great- best wishes- have a wonderful summer

[@tee1974]

Holy cow. I'm so proud of you!! I started crying when you talked about your miscarriages. I can't imagine.. We were never able to get pregnant. You're a great mom and wife and a wonderful inspiration.

[@corilarge9267]

Caught up to present! I've been binging your videos from the beginning since March 5th, 2022! I'm astonished as what you've been able to accomplish in the last 4 years. I'm so proud of your ability to donate the baby stuff gifted to you for desired baby #3. A momma and baby will be truly blessed by those items. Side note, I know it's the summer and you don't like to do No Spend Challenges in the Summer, but I love those videos and can't wait for the next one!

[@katelynostropolec2080]

I am inspired by your selflessness. ❤

[@meganbarton4411]

I'm so proud of you!!!❤❤❤❤❤You've come so far processing all of this hard stuff. You are so incredibly strong and such a good mama to your boys (and kitty Miss Pepper). Such a pure heart to think of those mamas out there struggling.🥺 I'm so freaking proud of you! 😭😊😊😊

[@lenarobins2480]

That was incredible! ((Sending you hugs)) I know that was difficult for you. Whether it was 1 outfit or the whole tote we're still proud of you for still going. You've come so far.

[@crystalsdance]

I have prayed for you for the probably more than 1.5 (at least) years I have followed you, specifically about your miscarriages. I have cried listening to your stories and seeing and hearing your heartbreak. I'm single, never married, no kids... but, I would have had a basketball team if I had my druthers! It just was not in the cards. I thought about going-it-on-my-own to motherhood as friends have done. But, I got cancer, and my potential for carrying a child and my ability to care for it with disability that resulted from chemo complications, proved God had other plans. I see your pain with each bin that you come across for "when I have my baby". I cannot begin to imagine your pain. But, what I see and hear each time is that your emotions are as raw as when each loss JUST occurred. Seeing you pass along a bin today both shocked and touched my heart. I pray you are soon able to let go of more of those that you have put back "for now/later" already. Times are so difficult right now, and there are many families that would certainly benefit from your gifting of such lovely items. The same goes for maternity clothing and etc. In your time and God's time, as you process and progress, I pray you find more closure with each step in dealing with these items. Your life is so awesome with all you do for yourself, your family, and your community! The more I see you release from your home, the more I see your life get fuller and richer! Your debt is GONE! Your home is functioning soooo much better. And, your baby steps are shuffling you to more freedom and reflection. God's speed as you perhaps think about pulling those "when I have my baby" boxes out to Konmari and keep absolutely the most dear and precious pieces or just decide to donate flat out. You've got this and God's got you. Prayer and reflection with Him will give you the answers you need, and are longing for, to take your next steps with these specific and special mementos. XO, Your Sister in Christ, Crystal

[@ericaevoy1]

My heart is with you. You’ve come so far after all of this time. You’re just so amazing 💖

[@DocTardis10]

I can see how painful it was for you going through the baby stuff, and I’m so very proud of you for letting it go! There are so many people in dire straights right now that desperately need it now. Have faith that, should you need it in the future, it will come to you. ❤️

[@klwh6513]

Thank you for donating the baby supplies. A family member of mine was someone who was in desperate need of donations.

[@angelabraisher3474]

I knit and crochet baby items to aid me with my mental health and depression. It gives me a warm glow knowing that I am able to help in a small way to keep a baby warm. Hopefully you will feel this way as well xxx Well done hunni, you have grown so, so much. Much love from Scotland xx ❤

[@Turtle4Cats]

Thank you for continuing to share your journey through decluttering the basement! I appreciate you sharing the stories that go along with the "stuff" as I have things that have stories that are hard to part with for that reason. I'm continuing to go through a small bit of my house each day and am finding that not having to part with things is making it easier to part with them over time.

[@melanietrester]

hello from germany, hi miss heart, i´m back from the balticsea, good job, your boys are so sweet. you rock the basement. hugs from me too you, you are so brave and strong, be safe

[@darcypurk9198]

Well done , may God continue to heal your hurting heart! 💜

[@catharinab8860]

This segment of basement looks great after your declutter and so does your nails! 💅🏻🌈 your decision to get rid of that box of baby stuff really impressed me! ❤

[@aliciacassio4215]

Truly your biggest declutter moment yet! Breathe.

[@crybebebunny]

I know that I have 3 Beautiful Babies in Heaven. Both of my living boys had a twin and a one of one very early pregnancy. They are very hard. I just had the joy of trying my best to keep positive and try to make sure that the baby that stayed made it. The one that was extremely early happen when my youngest boy was 2 ½. I was alone when I went through that. Then about 2½ years later I had my now 12 year old daughter. I have 4 living children. One always thinks of what could have been. Yet, it is what is, we are truly blessed with who we been blessed to raise and our lives are what is now.

[@pinadelmonico]

You have come SO FAR!! U are so so strong!! It’s wonderful to see your progress & strength❤️❤️❤️

[@BarbaraThorndyke]

It almost feels like a treasure hunt, working through the unnecessary items to find the safe ones! TFS 💕

[@alanbirkner1958]

I've been helping my good friend declutter so she can move. Like you, she is a warm and generous woman. She has many awards she gave away so little kids can win 1st prize ribbons from many county fairs. She has lots of beautiful awards. She also gave me bags of food for my local food bank. Her sister is taking towels and blankets to animal shelters. Then furniture is going to Habitat for Humanity. Like you, she will benefit so many people and animals with her kindness. Tina, Al's wife

[@melindataylor6869]

I went thru 3 miscarriage during 2019 2020 as well. I now have my lil hazel kitty. So yes pepper was like im the baby now. God sends us baby's but they are not always in the form me think. I'm so proud of all you have over come and you have helped me to over come my heart breaking moments while I'm am decluttering to. My hazel baby says hi

[@sharonsomers5513]

You are doing a great job. Very emotional,but you talked it through and was able to give things up. Very proud of you.

[@moniquelessard4242]

Omg that lunch box from the 80's on the floor! (After) You can sell that on ebay for a lot! I'll even take it!

[@lunagabriella213]

God sent you Pepper for sure 🐱❤️🙏 Proud of you. If I don't have kids, I'd feel the same way about becoming charitable in order to get through trauma. Generally my depression is due to feeling worthless, so I know how hard it is to fight through things.

[@anarita6021]

Your videos always inspire me!

[@KelleeYouPersonalOracle]

We all have our issues to work through. Proud of you girl!

[@moniquemcgeachy1206]

Pepper looks so sweet ❤️

[@claraabelha]

I think it’s SO GOOD when you find things that really touch your heat during the process. That way it’s so much easier to understand the different between old paper and broken things and the things you truly love like your Pony stuff from childhood! You’re amazing, girl! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@mrseliephant]

Thank you for sharing yourself with us. I lost a baby in my 2nd trimester and understand. I kept baby items for 8 years. About 6 months ago I let go of almost everything minus one tote and a pack and play. I think I had about 30 totes of things. I am cheering you on. You've got this!

[@eminmisin4117]

Allover the world,there are many people who dont have even a tshirt or a blanket for their baby..i find myself selfish if i hold on to clothes or whatever i dont need..(sorry for my english ,i am from Turkiye) love you ...

[@dailywithdils]

I am beyond proud of you! That was such a massive leap x

[@withyoctopus]

You made me cry. It's hard to not have the babies you want.

[@beverlyschroeder5573]

You are abeautiful soul. You are doing great. I am up to 28 boxes donated and 8 more ready to go. Heat has slowed me down...but I am decluttering my childhood home after the death of my sister 3 months ago and my mom and other sister 5 years ago. Struggling is part of the healing process. Thank you for being open and honest

[@emleigh1793]

I’m so sorry for your losses. Miss. Heart is a great source of inspiration for times such as this. Remember to take care of yourself through this process.

[@trineh3877]

I'm absolutely amazed at how far you have come. I can hardly believe you actualy got rid the entire baby bin. You have come so far. You are doing so well. You are so strong. It makes me so very happy for you, to know that you are getting better and slowly letting go of the taumas of your life. Not least because that will leave you more room for all the things in life that you love and enjoy. I know from experiance that dealing with the traumas of your life is rough, but I find that life is just so mush better once you get to the other side of it. What a great victory for you. Congratelations. I'm sending you all my love and hope that you and your family have a great day ❤😊🌷🌼.

[@colettenewell4634]

You are a truly incredible, one of a kind lady! I know this episode was not easy for you but I am blown away by what you accomplished. Thank you for proving we can heal our trauma.
