Shannen Doherty Tears Up Over ‘Downsizing’ In Emotional Cancer Update
Shannen Doherty is sharing a bittersweet new outlook on life as she continues her journey with Stage 4 cancer. The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum opened up about letting go of her material possessions, sharing in a new episode of her “Let’s Be Clear” podcast that she’s begun decluttering her home and storage units to hopefully ease the burden on loved ones if she doesn’t survive her illness. “I know it’s going to be hard on her if I pass away before her,” Shannen said of her mother. “Because it’s going to be so hard on her, I want other things to be a lot easier.
Meaning that I don’t want her to have a bunch of stuff to deal with.” The actress went on to explain the emotional upheaval she’s felt while facing this new chapter and how she’s embracing the idea that she’s simply making space for the things that will create lasting memories for her and her family. “I don’t need this, it doesn’t really bring me any great joy, but what does bring me great joy is taking my mom to the places that she’s always wanted to go to,” she added.
