Poor thing..but working with the estate people I have seen a lot of it...rooms full of QVC and ebay boxes never opened...one lady had an entire bedroom full of those jewelry armoires, all full of jewelry from QVC..not the cheapest stuff either...her kids had no idea...another room was full of Fenton glass..she was a qvc junky and run up $180K in credit card debt! Nice legacy to leave your family!
Fear of having a stash is NOTHING like this...a stash is for a working purpose...even a large stash..this lady has collected a landfill full of garbage....
Who are you to say she is sad or lonely? You know nothing about this woman. It's her collection, and her business.
Actually this is a mental disorder and always associated with depression, often comes about after a significant loss. The son actually mentions that she has boxes piled so she can hide from people in the kitchen, that is not appropriate behavior. The post is several years old, would like to know where this situation is right now. I suspect she also has health problems with all the dust and likely there has to be a rodent infestation with that much hidden areas, especially food hoarding.
