AAAAAA
Trash I commented way before u posted this what kind of people edit this smh ahahahahhahs fools roblox
I’m so crazzzyyy
Love the vid btw keep up the good work
I wanted to jump in screen and defend Dorothy! We love Dorothy!
She hung in there and won him over! No surprise! She’s a professional who understands the mind of a hoarder! ❤️
I know. She didn’t deserve the verbal abuse. Even though they explained it, he didn’t seem to understand it’s a process and would be weird for a while. He never healed and never learned to be without her physically. But I think it was a breakthrough! I HOPE it was a breakthrough!
I hope he apologized profusely to her.
I was in shock! These lovely people are here to help you. If you don’t want the help truly want the help then don’t call the show.
Beautiful episode. Having said that, his dog lying flat on the floor with people coming and going was hilarious.
Ikr 😊.... he was en entire mood! 😂
All in the way 😄
Literally just looked up as this was playing on the tv and a guy walked over the dog lol
The dog also cracked me up...totally unconcerned...just chilin'.
Time stamp?
Seems like when he fussed with Dorothy and told her she need to be fired from her job Dorothy spirit hadn't been the same. He should of apologize to her
Yes, but I think he has a long way to go before he realizes. Everything is still about his wife, not about him and not at all about others...
I know, I hope he never spoke to his wife that way 😕
He was speaking from pain.
@@capercat9785 exactly. I think Dorothy gets that, BUT it's never an excuse to hurt somebody.
Hurting people hurt others. My Mom & my brother were hoarders, and lived together. Astounding how much trash they allowed me to toss. It was literally unopened mail from 60 years, plus dime store gifts from dozens of family that she couldn’t offend them by not keeping! Only one room was off limits, my brothers’.2 years later Mom died. My brother allowed me to clean and purge his room. That night he said “ I had the best peaceful sleep of my entire life”
One month after Mom he died. Gratitude for the perseverance, grace and privilege of serving others. RIP Mom & Frank.
This is the most heartbreaking show I’ve seen on Hoarders. The doctor and organizer did so great.
I was in tears watching this. He seems to be such a nice gentleman. I hope he can shop from his attic instead of purchasing anything else. I pray he can find happiness without her. Prayers and strength to him 😊♥️🙏
What a beautiful man with such love for his late wife. I'm sure with help now he can honour her memory with keeping the house and gardens in a good state. It must be hard but hopefully easier to do the things he really values in his life now. God bless him.
When I lost my wife I tried to stay in the same house I did for quite a few years but in the end I had to move I had to make a fresh start and it’s worked I still love and miss her
❤I pray Dorothy doesn't let his comments to her cut too deep. She is the last person who should be spoken to like he did. I think the whole staff understands these hoarders are often in alot of pain so they might say anything to lash out. You all are amazing in the work you do. Thank you!
You really have to watch this episode in its entirety. I wanted to be angry at Eric many times, but he’s just so, so sad. He really needs help getting through his grief.
God bless him and them all. This was a difficult Hoarders episode to watch as I was in tears right along with them. His grief was overwhelming. May God grant him comfort and peace as he tries to move forward in life.
This was one of the best shoes yet! I loved it, Silvy was a Beautiful woman! Although she suffered terribly with her illness, she's doubly at peace now!! Knowing her husband is healing! Bravo
13.54 is so funny 😂😂😂 the dog sleeping in the middle of the chaos
I like how the dog is just being a dog and laying in the middle of the doorway when they’re trying to come back and forth through it with boxes.
this poor man. his grief was so raw and heartbreaking. i hope someday to find someone who loves me that much
This was the toughest episode for me to watch. When Eric cried I cried too. It's so tough because I know myself and many others will experience a similar pain. It's scary to know that the love of your life is going to die and leave you someday. Seeing his grief really hit smack dab in the heart. I kept imagining the first night being alone in the home I shared with my partner, just how deviating it would be to look around at the house as it stands there almost pretending nothing has changed. I wouldn't want to touch anything. I would probably just roll up in a ball at the entryway.
Dorothy is just amazing.
My dad has been slowly cleaning the house out since my mom died 3 years ago. He just stopped crying when we talk about her. My mom never wanted us to be sad but grief is a big heart breaker.
Eric needs to remove himself from the house. This is too much stress for him. The experts can remove all the clutter with out him there.
It's rehabilitative for him to be part of the process
God bless his soul. I broke down, his sorrow. Pray this will be the release he needed.
This broke my heart. I hope he is doing well now.
He was rude and manipulative. Those people helping him have probably lost someone too. Why does he get to abuse people? Some people just need to get outside themselves and make a choice to be better.
Human beings are so beautiful.
the poor guy thought he was safe from cameras and that it was okay to cry, and they go ahead and televize it anyway. that psychologist should have her license revoked.
that is a beautiful chair! I am surprised it was put in the dumpster at all. I'm kind of thinking it was done for the show though. The chair caught my eye as a Corbusier inspired piece
Truly heartbroken bless him
Dorothy is amazing, i wanted to not like her in the beginning (just seeming cheesy) but this gals heart is HUGE and her skill set working people through this is perhaps even better than the councilors? she is a GEM!
The dog laying there! Lol
Donated BETTER not Dumpster trash 🙏 Prayers
"We live to say goodbye."
Ok I cried like a little kid with a skint knee on this one.
He definitely loves his wife so much...he covers the pain of loss by hoarding things...it's like drug...getting the happiness buying things that are unnecessary..
People in our country try to fill their houses with STUFF instead of love and understanding. Give it away.
This breaks my heart!
Unfortunately I had a rotten mobile home I get to rebuild hidden under 6 tons of trash! It's all good though. Feels good to rebuild someone else's disaster.
Things aren’t a terrible mess, he’s not living in squalor because it gone on for long
He got help earlier than a lot of the others
At least his place isn't covered in cob webs and insects. I give him props for not being a complete slob even though he is a hoarder.
God bless him
So much grief but so much love - I do hope Eric was able to move on with life although of course the loss never really gets essier
Dorothy is a gem. Putting up with Eric telling her she needs to resign. She is made of strong stuff. Good on her for all she does.
Agreed 100%. I would have left him in the dust
The way he treated Dorothy…😡😡😡
He’s a misogynistic a$$.
He upended his own life . His wife died in a hoard .
@@taahism It's not misogyny. It's mental illness. Women have treated Dorothy awful as well.
@@Lanch15 This is working with mentally ill people. If she left every single one of the hoarders who got angry at her, she'd never finish a job.
Dorothy has a HUGE heart. I've never seen her cry on the show but this one got to us all.
They r a beautiful couple. God bless them😇
I think there was only one other episode that I’ve ever seen her cry.
I’ve seen her cry in plenty of episodes!
she has compassion that is a gift
True
Wow his wife was absolutely gorgeous, like she looked radiant.
The love they shared and her generous, beautiful spirit really shines through . . .and lives on in his memories.
Yes, she was gorgeous
Soo radiant. She reminds me of Princess Diana💕
Sooo pretty
A wife glows when she's truly loved by her husband ❤️
I donated my 20 year old daughters clothes to a woman’s shelter and though it was bittersweet, I know she was saying good job Mom!
That must have been so hard. I think you’re really brave💓
What a wonderful thing i am sure the ladies there were grateful for things newer and in their styl e to wear
I cant imagine having to make that decision, but i do think she would be really proud of your decision
Praying for you💖💖💖
Enormous hugs to you
I'm not implying that he's not grieving for his wife, but family members said when his wife was around, and healthy, and up and about, she kept on top of his hoarding and kept it from getting out of hand, so it sounds like the hoarding tendencies were there long before his wife became ill and passed.
Agreed which means you gotta go DEEPER to actually help him. You have to find the REAL TRIGGER for his 'Hoarding' and address it if you want him to get beyond it. His wife is simply his MOURNING for her. I understand the issue with the clothing. I kept a dress that my Grandmother wore in one of her last pictures (as a teaching assistant). She passed back in the 80s, the dress is DEEP in storage but I have long been at the point where I can now get rid of it. If I come across it, that's exactly what I will do... get rid of it.
Its his way to cope. It amplifies with stress.
@@plantedbasedman9845 I agree. They made it sound that buying was a way to distract him from his scoliosis-related pain.
@Amyra Batya the hoarding tendencies were there for years. Szilvie kept it intact until she was too sick and unable to
Keep it under control.
They probably I only intensified as her health deteriorated. He said he hated himself.
Poor guy. He's lashing out at the cleaners because he's got so much pent up anger and emotions.
You absolutely right agreeing with you from Baton Rouge Louisiana 2021 he need all of our prayers
So true! I felt sadness for Eric during the opening scene. Also, My impression was how deeply he loved, Silvia who was a beautiful woman!!!
When he raised his voice and suddenly his attitude changed; especially about the couch in the dumpster...that shocked me.
But, grieving a loss of love IS pure pain...I know the entire transformation was difficult for Eric.
I pray he’s found neutral ground for family to help him with the (large amount) of remaining items left in the attic?
No he is probably lashing out because they threw out a desinger leather chaise that is practically new and make him look like the crazy one for getting mad about it.
Of course that's what it is but it's totally inappropriate and not poor guy at all poor cleaners poor staff poor family. You can't jump on people He would need to be able to talk to them about it not yell at them repeatedly
@@iaJENKA Yeah I agree when I saw it in the junk house I thought - I would keep that and throw the other seats away and was a bit shocked myself to see it in the dumpster lol
I’ve never seen someone grieve so heavily like that. It was heart wrenching. He truly loved her and is hurting enormously. The way that they honored her was so beautiful
It’s so heartbreaking….
I’ve grieved this heavily & it was so moving to hear how much he sincerely loved his wife. You could hear the genuine vulnerability and love he still holds for her. It made me get emotional and brought up sorrow for my own losses. They were quite respectful to her memory and I thought that was so beautiful. Maybe humanity has some hope. ❤
He was a jerk. How does he know Dorothy hasn't lost someone? He doesn't. Grief doesn't give you a right to abuse someone.
For me this was a VERY special hoarders. Dorothy was so loving as were the rest of the crew. I wish a man loved me as much as he loved his wife.
He kept her in bed during the last part of her illness and she couldn't even go to the kitchen! I think he was a jerk. All that money could of gone to a nurse or housecleaner. That is not love.
I loved this episode very much too, I would be destroyed if anything happened to my wife, She is my world, my universe and my everything so I really felt the pain in my heart of how much this guy was suffering and yes I must admit it did bring tears to my eyes.
I see it differently. His love was selfish. I don't doubt that he loved her, but he didn't love her enough to do,what was right for her. He knows that and that's why his grieving is so heavy.
This was 2021 and she only died in 2019 so the pain and grief would have still been very raw
His wife’s best friend is a gem. I bet, she asked her before passing to help take care of her husband when she’s gone. I really enjoyed this episode. It made me cry. I really hope he gets all his financial, mental and physical concerns sorted and and best of luck on his endeavours.
I think that his wife’s best friend didn’t say what she really wanted to say. Her friend died in a hoarded house that was once beautiful and her treasure.
God I hope not, why would she ask such a thing of her good friend? Asking her to take care of a hoarder old man no thanks!
@@ragingzimexactly!!! She couldn't do it so why does she think her bff should be burdened
This is one of the most emotional & incredible episodes of hoarders ive seen..i couldnt stop crying for Erics pain & loss. What an amazing transformation, such. a beautiful home..The team is absolutely incredible, patient and understanding , the clutter was gone but they kept all the important memorable items of his & his beautiful wifes life..This episode really touched me, it made me see how amazing this team of people are and how hard but necessary it is to let go of whatever you need to and eventually the pain wont be as hurtful..Eric looked so happy & satisfied with his home..Absolutely incredible episode..loved it❤
When Dorothy and Dr. Robyn went in to talk to him and he started crying over his list wife I couldn't help crying too. He loved her so much
Me too :(
Me too I’m in tears rn 🥲😭😭😭
Me too. And he made so many strong decisions.
I bawled like a baby!!!
He kept her bedridden in one room during her last illness phase. He couldn't wheel her to a clean kitchen for a change of scenery? This guy is a piece of work. I think he is very self centered. A real jerk.
Man. This is the first episode of hoarders that had me sobbing like a baby. You can just feel that poor mans pain. I hope he finds happiness until he meets his beautiful wife again
Huh? He borderline abused her when she was in bed by hoarding the home. It is unsafe and she couldn't be wheeled to another room. He is pathetic and selfish.
@@breezybird403 you do realize that hoarding is a mental health issue, don't you? It's not something to be mad at someone for, because to them, it is important. What Eric did wasn't right, but he wasn't trying to be malicious about it. He git the help he needed and you can tell he truly loves his wife.
She was a lucky woman to be so loved. He just adored her. I wish I had that.
@@alexanderf.6396 Mental health can be a cause of abuse, but that doesn't mean it's not abusive
@BreezyBird you're disgusting to blame him. He loved her so much and dedicated his time to her while she was sick and did everything he could. He clearly had mental problems going on to be hoarding but to say he abused her? You're sick.
When my husband's parents were killed the adult kids had to go and empty the house.
His eldest sister grabbed a few clothing items that were particularly memorable and she made fabric dolls with outfits made from their things.
It was a lot of work but was cherished by all five kids.
She's smiling Eric you've reclaimed your home. Release your pain and celebrate your life together and memories.
Yes! He needs to forgive himself and LIVE! He has to live and enjoy life for his dear wife. It's what she would want -you can tell she loved life.❤️
That's beautiful Karen 😍
@@carolannemckenzie3849 thanks
He still has years ahead of him to foster new friendships & fill his life with new memories & not stuff (yet still treasure the memory & goodness of Szilvie).
I bet his house is already well on the way to becoming exactly what it was before it was cleaned out.
It broke my heart when he said crying, " I miss you Sylvie, where are you Sylvie?"
So heart breaking
So dramatic.
Yes, for some people
Hes got alot of anger and feelings in all that stuff. He hasn't grieved for his wife. Covered the hurt up with things... Love loved that they included his wife. Saying they should donate her clothes and helps others rather then just throw them away.
I cried when Dr. Zasio and Dorothy spoke one on one with him. Two amazing human beings. They're exactly who I want to help me and speak to me. So much empathy and care and understanding and respect.
This is probably the most heart-wrenching episode so far.
He was broken by being left behind and was slowly burying himself and trying to smother his pain. His wife would be so proud of him pushing through. I wish him the beautiful future his wife would want for him.
I can feel for Eric. As someone who was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 8. I was able to work hard and I was a Registered Nurse for 16 years... until my body just broke down. It’s very depressing. I feel very blessed to have been able to accomplish what I did...but when that stops...it’s hard.
@@patriciacole8773 you really have no class to proselytize and make this something about your personal belief system. Just shameful.
I hope you're doing well and leading a happy life, dear
I only hope I have a man that loves me that much one day. And what a great way to honor his wife.
I do not think that he should continue living alone in this house. I think that it will be better for him to sell it to a young family or relatives, sell most valuable belongings, settle his finances and move to an elderly home or community. He definitely needs somebody to take care of him, communicate more, find some new connections. He may even find a nice lady that can relate to his pain. Being alone with your memories and regrets, surrounded by all his belongings will constantly affect him and bring his spirit down.
i totally agree..memories of the house with her wife would be so painful..or remarry if he wants to take care of him
I centainly agree about moving to a different house but it will be hard for him with so many memories there.
Yes.
When he said this house doesn't feel like a home to me...that told me it was time for him to sell everything, get the house in order and sell it. I think it would be best that he moves to a Living Center. where he isn't alone, but someone is there to help him if he needs help and someone is there to help him take care of himself and maybe have someone to talk to about his grief of loosing his wife.
So true!
Who is cutting the onions I’m crying so hard with him. May god be with him.
What a sweet, tender man you are. Stay kind.
@@bellagrace9812 thanks I will life is short u had to be so kind to everyone
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
Your kind❤️
I feel you. I’m at 2:30 minutes in and I have a tear.
For all of the horrible videos about spineless males murdering their wives, girlfriends & children.
This is a beautiful story of love. A man who truly manned up, loved his wife, took care of her when she was ill. Now, the professionals are attempting to help him.
I wish that even one person would help me, like this.
And I hope that you can get whatever help you need too. Everyone deserves a chance to better themselves.
And Dorothy should resign why? Because he’s hung up on “things”? God bless these people because they have the patience of saints.... I just couldn’t do it.
I'm not making excuses for the guy, but that triggered him. He vented. I wish he didn't say what he said to Dorothy. She made things right to earn his trust and honored his wife's memory.
@@joellebrodeur1015 agreed .....
@@joellebrodeur1015 you hear people like him say things like that in customer service all the time. “You should quit your job” or “you should be fired” seems to be a popular sentence said by angry Americans. I haven’t yet met another nationality who uses it so frequently out of spite
Dorothy is so kind and patient, I'm so grateful these people have the benefit of her expertise.
He really loves his wife. I can totally understand how he feels. Perhaps he should go out and socialise more, not to replace her, but if one is by yourself to much for too long, your mind goes to places that either do not exists or make life look 100 times worse than it really is.
He was hoarding even when she was alive and moving! When she was confined in the bed, he still didn't change his ways!
Because of that too, he felt the lost of his wife even more. Because now that his wife is gone, he can see how he is all over the place without her, how miserable he is without her.
Because this is mental addiction, their way to cope with problems. Like alcoholics do drinking hoarders hoard..
@@standingfortruth4043 yes you are absolutely right , I was thinking maybe she became so much more sick, it might trigger him to want to change for his wife's sake.
I realize now it is not enough since I also live with someone with mental health issues.
Yes he has issues before he lost his wife She was keeping control over him I think this was not addressed but the truth is It is a mental issue Losing someone just makes it much worse
It is so hard to give up things. I have all my daughter's possessions still. It's like giving her away.
I get it . My young adult daughter passed close to 7 years ago. I gave most of her stuff away . Some of her special belongings to her older sister . Her ashes sit in my room with an array of her favorite things. And life goes on...
Helen Burns so sorry, I hope you get some comfort that you have another daughter. I don't.
Your daughter isn’t in her things. She’s in your heart and memories.
You shouldn’t feel like you’re throwing her away, you’re just throwing away stuff. Good luck!
@@sarcasticallyrearranged thanks. Yes but.......so many buts.
I still have a lot of my parents things and I can’t just let go of most of them. Mainly clothes. My aunts suggest donating them but I just can’t…I feel selfish for not helping those in need but it breaks my heart…
Legit never cried watching these until now. Seeing or hearing a man mourn like that rips my heart right out! I hope he finds his passions and is able to smile and be happy again!
I think Eric seemed more clued in to how his hoarding effects him on an intuitive level. So i was surprised when the hosts didn't ask him what they should set aside before throwing away. Seems he would have been more realistic than some severe hoarders who shouldn't be given a choice to rummage through obvious trash. Example in case was woman who had a plan for a rock.
It's good that Eric spoke up. Some people will let it fester, building up to the point that they give up or explode. Eric spoke up. The ones helping him listened with compassion, with understanding. It was a beautiful moment. Eric expressed his love for his wife, the others listened. So touching!
He shouldn't have had to speak up, brand new $1000. Lounge, someone probably had dibs on it
I felt his pain. I lost my husband 16 years ago. I still have his clothes in storage.
This was the most heartbreaking episode to date. My heart goes out to Eric. May you find peace and comfort and relief from you heartache Eric. I know Sylvia is smiling down on you and saying “Thank you Eric for finding the strength to get this done”. May you be Blessed beyond your greatest expectations.
I lost my husband in 2019.. grief lasts.. it's hard still
Bless you. It's still very early in your grief, praying for you
💜
I like how these 20 min episodes are edited !!! Straight to the point
This guy really broke my heart. I could feel his pain. My Dad was the same for my Stepmother. He left the house and bought another. That house was too painful
My sis in law did the same.
I'm so glad she was able to.
Grieving is very different for everyone
When someone refuses to accept the consequences of their actions, they tend to blame others rather than themselves
yep, the ego always has to have a scapegoat
I think he was in pain. Like they said, he tried to replace the emptiness of losing her. It wasn't that he was making anyone responsible for what he did, he's the one who contacted them. But oh yeah, I would of been upset if my couch that cost a lot of money was thrown out!
I can't believe all the people on here making excuses for him. Glad you see that his ego is #1 to him. Hoarding is pure selfishness. All hoarders are ungrateful entitled beings who treat others like dogs. I've gone through a lot more than this guy and yet I don't abuse people, and aren't rude like him.
@@amberbest6942 everyone is different and handles their situations in their own way, thought it’s not always good. He has a hard time expressing his emotions in the right way and can come across as rude. None of us know him personally, and we certainly can’t judge a person based off a 20 minute episode. Personally, I think your comment comes off as rude you egotistical donut.
@@amberbest6942 Yeah he was a d*ck and probably used to disrespecting women. He immediately backed down when his brother told him to get a grip. He reminds me of people I deal with daily in customer service.
I really sympathize with him, when he found his new furniture in the skip and couldn't find anything to make a meal, they went in to do the clean up but his immediate needs were neglected..let this be a lesson learned..
This is a rare episode where the owner can actually, safely, stay in the house and use the kitchen and bathroom. I think they may be soused to doing houses that are in horrible shape they forget that some clients can stay in their house and take care of themselves.
When there is a huge amount of stuff, sometimes there isn’t the luxury of sorting every single item. Good things will get thrown out. There will be days of disruption to normal life.
I've watched a lot of episodes but this one has to be the most heartbreaking one. I honestly cried cause I could feel all the love and pain he had in his heart. All the process was a very difficult decision, but he thought of his wife and what she would have done, that was very brave of him; I'm beyond proud.
Also a very big THANK YOU to everyone who made this possible, hope the best for y'all ♡
I rarely ever cry when I watch these shows. But this episode had me tearing up. It's so sad what this gentleman is going through. He has a beautiful home though, sending him positive vibes from Africa🥰
Literally every episode. Threw stuff away, hoarder says I did this to trust you guys and to see what you’re throwing out, oh we thought it was just going away. Every. Single. Episode.
I was just going to comment on the same thing. I like the show, but it is too formulaic.
They often have a whole house full of stuff. Things are going to be uncovered and sorted incorrectly. Its not really a formula; theres a lot happening and mistakes happen. The editors just highlight various breakdowns to show how attached people are to their stuff.
It's pretty irresponsible of them. It makes me wonder if they do it on purpose for tv.
@@ajgentry7474 They just need to literally not put anything into the dumpster until the client gives the okay. Even if they put the rubbish on a tarp first, it's better than putting it in the bin and making the client get up in arms.
@@mareebrown2163 The mental illness of hoarding is formulaic and highly ritualized. Not sure what you expect.
That was so heartbreaking to hear him break down to Dorothy and Dr Robin. I hope he was able to find strength with his family’s help. I truly wish him all the best🙋🏽♀️💕
Every single hoarder is suffering from grief abuse trauma.
Which is why I usually end up in tears watching this show... My mother is a bit of a hoarder. Even as a kid, I was able to put 2 & 2 together - she holds on to too much because she lost everything when she was a child. Lost her dad, brother, home, possessions, her health...her childhood...everything due to WWII. Totally get why she hoards 😔
Some are just lazy. Some have trauma but not all. My sister lives like this, she DIDN'T grow up that way. She is just lazy, always was. She would rather do her drugs & drink
I’ve had a lot of loss and grief in my life, I thank the lord I didn’t get this illness, it’s just insane to me to hang onto things you’ll never use ,need but scream and freak out when getting thrown away, even tho you cared so much , they were under a pile of trash for years and you were walking on them everyday??? If you cared so much?.... you should of done better by them??
@@pattyjones6285 maybe there is something happend you don't know about. People Don't start randomly doing drugs💁🏻♀️
Trauma's indeed yes.
When I look around at all of my stuff that’s not being used, I realize that someone else may enjoy it as much as I once did, and it makes it easier to donate knowing that.
That was a very expensive Barco/Berco lounger chair they threw out - I'd've been upset if that had been done to me too.
I watch Hoarders to inspire me to clean...LOL My "hoard" is NOWHERE NEAR anything on Hoarders, but watching is what keeps me from letting any of my rooms get that bad! Thanks, @Hoarders 😂
Me too!!!!
He sounds exactly like Sam Elliott. Such a soothing, kind voice.
I really felt for this guy Eric, He was in love and still in love the same as I am with my wife, It would kill me if I lost my wife and I too would be lost without her but I do believe I would of gone the opposite way, I would be cleaning up too often. This episode really hit me emotionally really hard.
I closed my eyes and listen to his voice...he sounds like Sam Elliott... Beautiful House...
Wow great observation he really does
My first thought as well!
He sounds like the t rex from good dinosaur
This guy could narrate anything and I’d listen!
Yes, he has that Sam Elliott voice.
Totally!
He should write a book about his love story with his wife and the process of grieving to move on without her. It could be very empowering for him and others.
Dorothy is the sweetest person. The sparkle in her eyes while she was talking about her medi about the day
That made me so mad for her.
I need a little Dorothy breninger in my life.
First hoarders I’ve seen where I felt so bad for the hoarder. Eric is so empty and lonely inside. I pray that he’ll heal in time
I grow increasingly concerned at the incompetence and ignorance of the "professionals." Eric's anger and distrust were completely reasonable and valid. He wasn't salvaging an old margarine container or useless part of a lawn mower, like some hoarders. Who throws out a pristine leather couch?! I'd be angry too.
It's unbelievable how gaslight-y they were with him, casting completely normal things as "fragile," "mentally ill," and "problematic." Eric had insight, humility, self awareness, and he had an accurate understanding of what he needed help with.
Sometimes the professionals MAKE people crazy, telling them they're mentally ill when they are really just mentally injured, as anyone might be suffering the loss of a loved one and having some embarrassing habits exposed!
It's frightening to think that people whose job it is to help actually hurt with expert brain washing on people already in a vulnerable condition.
Why is everyone talking to him like he's a silly child? He's clearly intelligent and motivated. I'm impressed with his patience at being so egregiously disrespected and patronized. I truly hope he gets better support to continue moving forward.
Totally agree. He was willing to do it but they had no idea what they were treating as trash. How many other people do they do this to?
Exactly! He’s elderly and disabled, likely has to be careful about money. A thousand dollar couch can’t just be tossed like that! My dad has been hoarding for decades but finally quit working and is now chipping away at his stuff. It’s a fortune!! Every little thing, even rusty junky looking things have great value on eBay and Craigslist ranging from the hundreds to thousands. Decluttering is about selling what has value, not just trashing it. My dad and any hoarder would go absolutely nuts if their stuff was handled like this.
I agree too. "Trash" is broken, damaged, useless or unsanitary. Furniture in good condition might be surplus to requirements, but throwing it away when it should be donated or sold is unjustifiable. I'm fully with Eric on this one, and I felt the professionals, *particularly* Dorothy, were patronising a-holes.
none of the workers threw out the couch though it was his wifes sister that told them to throw out the couch because she didnt understand the rules for whatever reason. she mentioned how she was going to auction it out without even asking eric. so they didn't do anything wrong it was just the sister in law
@@MercedesSena-d9k They did do something wrong by not enforcing the established rules consistently. If they allowed the sister-in-law to do anything with the couch without asking him, they're also responsible.
A dv shelter would really be grateful because some family’s have to leave so fast they have nothing. God bless this amazing man
I have NEVER got emotional during a Hoarder episode until this one! Dorthy and Dr. Zasio are a good team!
I love that they surrounded the house with Sylvie and turned the house back into a home! You can see how much he loved his wife, I hope one day I find someone who can love me like that!! 💖💖
It was heart wrenching to hear Eric cry for his late wife, Szilvie. Are we really ever prepared to lose the love of our life? Six tons of trash is huge. Dorothy is special and made this possible for Eric. It was difficult to see but it was beautiful! Loved this episode!
I know this was difficult to do, but what a lovely home. I feel like Szilvie can rest in peace knowing Eric can really enjoy his home and doesn't have the burden of all the clutter taking over his life. Great job from all the caring helpers, it must feel so good to help others in this way.
This was such a heartbreaking episode. I’m glad y’all were able to help him out, even just a little.
