Grief comes in many forms: death, divorce, retirement, physical impairment, caregiving for the terminally ill, or the diagnosis of a medical or mental condition. Misguided or unresolved grief can manifest itself in many forms, also. In Mrs. Clear’s case it was alcohol abuse. But, with many of her clients it’s the accumulation of clutter. Dorothy Clear shares her poignant personal experience with misdirected grief, after losing her father, to connect to those she helps in her work as a professional organizer. This common bond between her and her clients builds trust for the start of what can be a very intimate relationship. This fragile population can shut down if they feel criticized or judged. Or, they can blossom with encouragement, motivation and support.

Mrs. Clear earned a BS degree in business administration from Robert Morris University. She had a 23 year career in the corporate world in human resources, safety and workers compensation. In 2011 a friend asked Dorothy to help her declutter her house. That was it! She had found her passion. A few months later she started Clear Organization. Clear Organization specializes in clients who are have grief or depression, physical limitations, are chronically disorganized, or have hoarding disorder. Many of their clients have called them after a traumatic or stressful event, such as the death of a loved one, a divorce, retirement, suffering an injury or illness, or before or after moving. She has received her training through the National Association of Professional Organizers, the Institute of Challenging Disorganization, Matt Paxton through ServiceMaster Clean, and the Beaver County Collaborative Action Network. Mrs. Clear has been quoted in local print media, i.e., North Hills Monthly Magazine, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and the Beaver County Times; and interviewed on KDKA radio shows. She worked on Season 8 episode 2 of the TV show Hoarders on A&E, which was filmed in Beaver Falls in Oct. 2015.
