My sister is a hoarder. I never really understood, even though I ve heard of it and seen a little about it on T. V. Our mom died and left the house to my sister who had taken care of her for years until our mother had to be admitted to a nursing home. My sister who had held a job for 27 years had quit to take care of our mom the last few years of her life. She ended up making a poor decision and used all of her own retirement money on my mom, though that wasn t necessary. Both of them had closed off relationships with the rest of us (I m from a family of nine.) I got involved because I was named second in charge on power of atterney and was notified when my sister had not transfered my mom s pension to the nursing home. Our mother died at the beginning of December and my sister (rightly so) got the house (it was in trust). My sister has no income and can t pay bills. She has accepted help from me and has realized that she is in big trouble. I have started to go through the house to get ready to sell. It will be demolished. I knew my mom was a hoarder but today I went up to the second floor where my sister used to sleep and was extremely upset. I have never seen rooms filled with garbage. A person can not even walk into the room. I m not sure what to do. How sick is she and I can not afford to support her.
