    Don't even worry about responding to this as I know you have 500+ others to respond to!!! But, I just had to comment how wonderful it is that you have this beautiful open space you can enjoy and be proud of. I was seriously blown away to see it in person. Thanks for letting me be part of your incredible journey. 🥰

    PLEASE don't forget to give yourself grace and time to heal, but also give yourself the credit you deserve.
    It would have been much easier to sink into self pity and grief, but you refused to do that, and that's HUGE. Give yourself the victory.
    If you've ever watched Hoarders, you know that grief and loss can be huge triggers for hoarding, but you got up and got moving.
    Grieving a pet can be devastating. I'm glad you've got your Clay. And remember that it's okay not to be okay, so long as you keep that forward momentum. Obviously you needed a break, but you didn't give up, and that's amazing for you. I'm sure that Cupid is looking down on you with pain free puppy smiles and a corn dog in his mouth! 💕

    Amazing job! I can’t believe you cleared the room in only three months. You really worked hard and should be proud of yourself. I’m so sorry for your loss, Cupid was so loved by you. I’m sure he’s watching and he’s proud of you too. 🐶

    Mira, we are sisters in grief and I am also on the Decluttering path. I lost my soulmate, Harley a few years ago…I still cry for him (my profile picture), and there was a day when I stood in the middle of my living room and just screamed. Nothing changed but I just had to let the pain out. I have a pup now ..we needed each other…but Harley is still with us. Your doing a great job and I will follow your progress. ❤🐾

    The stages of grief are sure...shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance...but they don't come in order, they might go back and forth, there is no time guidelines for each stage. We pet parents know the last stages of our relationship will come...but it doesn't make it any easier. My thoughts go out to you. I know that pain so well, yet I am so glad I had those pet angels in my life. We had great times together. I saved my only doggie's collar after she passed...it was in 2000. I have had my other sweet kitties pass and that has all been so sad also. You have so many of us wishing good thoughts and love and healing your way. ❤

    When my dog passed away I gathered his things and put them in a box under my bed, top right corner, under where I sleep. I have two other dogs which helped me transition, but he will always be loved. Extra cuddle time with Clay will help.

    I love all animals but there is something so special about the love of a dog. I am so sorry for your loss Mira but you can take comfort knowing he is happy and full of peace and love. Thanks for being such a good friend to him❤ He is so grateful

    I'm very sorry about your fur baby. ❤
    I am incredibly proud of how you kept going despite your grief and "not caring."" Persevering despite those emotions shows tremendous growth! You deserve to live in a clean space, and the fact you're doing it yourself is amazingly tremendous! I'm so happy this community is so supportive of your journey, too! What a great bunch of viewers you have.
    My last house was much like yours. I desperately needed help to get through everything. I didn't get the help, but because I was moving cross country, I only had a small bit of space to take my things. I HAD to declutter. Everything I brought fit in a U-box and was shipped to a storage warehouse. I moved in with my dad, and his house was completely hoarded. 1800 square feet of junk. He passed last September, and I moved out and into my first home. It's 80% not cluttered. My two worst areas are my dining room table and my kitchen. It'll be a year in January, and I still have unpacked boxes in my kitchen. And, all my stuff is still in storage. I'm afraid to bring it home for fear having a hoarded house again! I'll get there. You're inspiring me. ❤

    I am so sorry you lost Cupid. You had many good years with him.
    It is SO impressive how you have cleared the entire living room. Not just the actual decluttering, but also - maybe even more - the mindset shift. Not a lot of people get to that point on their own.
    You are an inspiration!

    I’m so sorry about Cupid. I lost my senior girl on Friday and can totally relate to how you’re feeling. Grief is the worst but I would prefer it over never having known the love of my girl. I just want to say you have done an amazing job on your house. You should be so proud of your accomplishments! Keep going Mira, Cupid would want you to. He’s healthy and happy and will be waiting at the rainbow bridge for you ❤🌈

    Cupid was adorable! we lost our doggie of 17 years last year, it is so hard, they truly are fur babies. The loss of a pet is usually felt harder than even some people because they love us so much the loss is felt greater. Take care of yourself, you are doing a great job!

    Mira, I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved Cupid. I had to have my cat put to sleep this July because she stopped eating. She had cancer. I was so depressed after she passed away that I didn’t want to do any decluttering for a few weeks. I didn’t do much of anything , so I got blood clots in my legs. The blood clots moved into both of my lungs, which caused me to have emergency surgery in August. To make matters worse, I got Covid in October. My house had spiraled out of control. Watching your videos has greatly inspired me to take back control of my home a little bit at a time. I’m so grateful that I found your channel when I did. It was perfect timing for me. I enjoy watching your decluttering journey.

    • @PeelingAwaytheClutter

    In 2020, I lost a dog 18. A cat 18. Then another dog not even 12 years of age. All that happened within 24 days. I was shattered to say the least. Anyone who has loved and been loved by a fur family friend, knows the absolute anguish we go through when we lose them. And grieving is just one of those things you have to go through. It has stages just like you have stages within your decluttering progress. You and Cupid were very lucky to have one another.😢❤

I lost my 19 year old kitty almost 2 years ago and I still cry sometimes. He was like my child. Grief sometimes puts us in a bad place and I'm glad you gave yourself some grace, yet pushed on.

    Just sending a little love your way. I lost two of my fur babies earlier this year. One from diabetes and one from dementia. I still have a blanket I haven't been able to wash and toys I can't throw away. I'm really proud of you. All changes take time. Take all you need.

    If you crush the empty bottles as hard as you must feel now, you can fit way more of them in the bin. Just learned that in Turkey.
    I cannot imagine loosing my boy, if I even come close to that thought I tear up as hell 😔
    I hope the pawspector is also good at giving comfort to you, and I bet he misses his brother just as much..
    I am grateful that Cupid hold out until you had the livingroom done, that he let you have this feeling of freedom an success, to make it easier to not give up but to restart after the biggest sadness and darkness has gone.
    And it is absolutely ok to sweep and rage clean while bawling your eyes out.
    Thank you for sharing your feelings this honestly! I think that gives some relief to you, you can get support by your viewers, and it might make some of them not feel as alone in this djungle of emotions.
    You will never forget him, and you were his whole life anyways - but it will not hurt as much in some time. I feel you, as a lot of others do!
    I send you a firm virtual hug, offer an open ear anytime and know that this time again you will feel your full strength.
    You are amazing Mira 💜

    And here I am randomly crying over a dog I've never met, but that's what's amazing about our pets, they love so unconditionally that when we lose them we only have beautiful memories of our time together. So very sad for your loss of Cupid. It is obvious he was a very cherished member of your family. I hope you realise that our pets never judge us for how messy our homes are or what we look like or how much money we make, they only want to be with us, looked after and loved. Bless you and Clay and I hope you will find peace in your heart soon. Incredible job on the living room. It's amazing looking back at the starting photos. You've come so far. Keep up the great work Mira. You're so inspirational, even through grief you are able to continue. Fake it till you make it is fantastic advice and I am going to use this as my motivation is very low at the moment. Can't wait till you start tackling the kitchen!!

  • @colettenewell4634
    @colettenewell4634 Рік тому +13

    What a huge difference. And major kudos to you for tidying the areas by the front and back door. I bet it wasnt too long ago that you either wouldn’t have noticed the clutter or not cared. It only took a bit of time to tidy up which is the benefit of all your hard work. It’s hard to find the energy when we are emotionally exhausted from our grief but “ dishes math” as dana k white says is a thing. If we can spend 10 or 15 minutes on the dishes and 5 minutes throwing out the trash it will help keep our space in order until we can get back in the groove. I found this out from hard experience during an illness. Take care of yourself and Clay. All the best

    pet loss feels just as strongly as losing people, don't feel bad about being "emotional" . actually scientifically, i heard that we view them as babies (which to be fair pets are all adorable and deserve all the love) which is why we grieve them so strongly. all the love to you for pushing through and putting out this video ❤

Don’t we love them and don’t they leave a huge hole in our messy lives? Mira, your house is looking so good. You’re doing a great job with all the decluttering! That’s a lot of bags of trash. I also love that Free Little Library, yours is PINK! I LOVE THAT. Take care, give yourself some grace girl, and keep moving. ❤ big hug🤗

I think he is afraid I will go to. He is 16 and a tough little cross terrier.What an amazing job on the front room. You are definitely an inspiration to us who follow you. Getting started is the best step even if it is only moving six inches of stuff. Keep up the great work Mira and love to all the Miraretts😂 xxx 🌸🌺🌸🐾🐾🐾🐾

    I imagine how hard it would have been to cope with the loss of your companion if you hadn't already started this. It would have been overwhelming to face the house when you're depleted by grief. In Cupids last days he saw you taking back your life, I think maybe he knew he could leave you in Clay's company and you will be ok. ❤

    • @PeelingAwaytheClutter
      @PeelingAwaytheClutter  11 місяців тому +4

    Aww Mira. I’m so sorry for your loss of your dear boy Cupid. Having had pets all my life I understand the pain when you lose them even if they’ve lived a long, and happy life. We hurt because we love and we shouldn’t have it any other way. After some time passes, the pain isn’t the first thing we think of but instead we remember all the happy times and all the funny things they did. Your living room looks AMAZING!! What a journey you’ve been on! We’re here rooting for you! ❤🌈🌉🐾

    Mira, your love and care for Cupid shows. It is very difficult to lose a special dog like Cupid. Hoping your fondest memories of Cupid make you smile. I'm sure Cupid would want you to keep going and also keep your journey going. Clay needs you, as well. Thinking Clay is missing Cupid,too. Your Just 5 Minutes idea is excellent!!

    First, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dog 13 years ago, and it still hurts. It is better, but... I still can't get another dog. For non dog people, it can be head to understand. But they're your friend, companion, moral support, the ones happy to see you when you've been out and come back. So I'm sorry.
    Secondly, the work you've done is incredibly. I know people have already said, don't worry about not making the decision when your in the moment with some stuff, I truly believe, the decision to sort it out later when you've got more energy (or I say spoons 🥄) is a decision. I also loved the states 💚 at the end!
    You're an inspiration to me, I've only been following you sins a beautiful mess did her video. It's also so brave and wonderful that you're sharing your journey. I know the effort is monument 😊 also I'm in North Wales in the UK! So your efforts are felt all over the world, and not just your home 😊

I have no doubt that the last weeks of his life were made better by the changes you made, and that his life with you even before that was comfy and full of love. I can't wait to see the beautiful scrapbook pages you make to honor him once you can access your supplies. Sending you love and virtual hugs!

    Oh my goodness, i feel your pain. My family dog died over a year ago and my dog died six months ago. I still dream about her multiple times a week. The vet said i needed to think about euthanising her, because she was ill and that i would be the one that had to make that choice. Her body wasn't going to give up but she was suffering. And that broke me. I cried for multiple days untill i couldn't breathe anymore. She ended up being going within two weeks of that conversation. And even tho it tore me apart, i'm so happy that she didn't have to suffer for a long time. Hindsight is 20/20 and now im shocked that i didn't see it coming. But i got another dog, which helped a lot with the grief. He was in the shelter for over 4 months and nobody dared to take him, bc he had behaverial issues. Turned out he just needed a calm home, and almost 80% of his bad behavior went away instantly. I'm so happy that i got to take him home, even tho is still miss my previous doggo so much. Sorry for the long story, just know you are not alone in this!❤

    You've done an amazing job of decluttering your livingroom. I've seen Bonnie's channel of your kitchen decluttering, which was an awesome job also! Isn't Bonnie a wonderful person? So glad she helped you. It helps so much as we age just to have help moving heavy stuff. Keep up the great work!

    I’ll say once again how sorry I am about you losing Cutie Cupid. I know you’re going to miss him forever. When you get to Heaven he will come bounding over the Rainbow Bridge to welcome you with puppy kisses all over your face. No one can convince me that our pets are soulless and aren’t part of our eternal life on the other side. So my belief is that you’ll see him again. And the livingroom looks spectacular! You really have DONE IT! Yay Mira! You should be so proud of yourself. That truly was a lot of work and so many decisions that had to be made. And you never let it stop you. Even with a death in the family. It looks so cozy and nice in there now. Take care and hang in there. ❤

    I'm so sorry for your loss. We recently lost our Lillypad, also to kidney disease. Its very difficult to lose a dog, they're such a huge part of our life and want nothing more than to make us happy (and they do that so well). I must always remind myself to be grateful for the time I did have with them and that they shared their life with me. I believe they're the closest love we can attain next to God's love. Completely unconditional. After all, God spelled backwards is Cupid 🐩, well actually dog. Stay well.

    Mira, I am so sorry for your loss. Our pets are our family, too, and I know how much you loved Cupid. Like you said, grief comes for us all, and it's a process. I think that you taking some time off to just sit and "be" was the best thing that you could do for yourself. My heart goes out to you, and I'm keeping you in my prayers and thoughts. I have been looking forward to seeing your living room, and when you posted this video, I was so excited to watch it; you are an inspiration to me in my own decluttering journey, and I have watched you work so hard--physically and emotionally. You are creating living spaces that will allow you to enjoy your life!

    I’m so so sorry sweet Mira. Your Cupid was your child. You gave a lot of wise words dealing with grief. I have had several dogs cross the rainbow bridge. It is very hard. I am so glad you have your other pup who needs your time, attention and care. It helped me so much. I have a 10 year old golden doodle and decided to add a bernedoodle to our family so when my old girl crosses over I’ll still have my Greta who will need me. She is two. So onward and upward Mira. Loved your kitchen video.❤❤❤
