Shannen Doherty has been struggling with breast cancer. The disease has spread throughout her body and the Beverly Hills 90210 star has shared her experiences with fans on social media.
In the last episode of her podcast, Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty, the star touched on issues related to preparing for her departure.
Shannen Doherty plans her own funeral
Doherty has been struggling with breast cancer since 2015. After she first heard this devastating diagnosis from doctors, she systematically reported on social media the next stages of her battle with the disease.
The actress went through, among others, double mastectomy and chemotherapy. Despite a short-term remission, the disease returned and spread throughout her body.
The actress wants to share her experience to support other women struggling with cancer. She tries to stay hopeful and stay positive even though the cancer is now in stage four and has spread to her bones and brain.
The Beverly Hills 90210 star recently took to social media to discuss issues related to her funeral. In a conversation with her best friend, Chris Cortazzo, who was appointed executor of the will, she talked about what her final farewell would be like. The actress revealed who is welcome at her funeral and who is not.
Shannen Doherty is preparing to leave
Now Doherty has said she has started organising her estate. She wouldn't want her mother to have problems with a huge number of things after her death.
"My mother is the priority at the moment. It will definitely be very hard for her if I die before her. And since that in itself will be very difficult, I try to help her a little. I don't want to leave her with a lot of things to do.
"I don't want her to have four warehouses full of furniture ," the 52-year-old said on her podcast.
The actress recently went to her home in Tennessee to finish packing her things. She revealed that she plans to sell some of them and give some to charity. Staying at home triggered strong emotions in her.
The 52-year-old remembered her dream from years ago. She mentioned that she planned to build a centre for abandoned horses.
"It was a really difficult and emotional experience. I felt like I was giving up on my dream of building this property. At one point while packing, I simply burst into tears. My mom was there with me and she told me not to get rid of this place," said an emotional Doherty.
