‘Beverly Hills 90210’ Star Shannen Doherty Prepares For Death
Shannen Doherty has revealed that she’s trying to learn to let go of things. The Beverly Hills 90210 star has been in the process of downsizing and going through storage units amid her stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis. She says that she is doing everything she can to make her death an “easy transition.” Keep reading to see what Shannen Doherty revealed about how she is preparing for her own death.
Shannen Doherty Is Focused On Her Mom
Shannen has been fairly open with her fans since she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. She went into remission in 2017, but the cancer returned in 2019 and had progressed to stage 4. Last, year, she revealed that the disease had spread to her bones and brain.
The 90210 alum spoke about her diagnosis and how she is preparing during Monday’s episode of her podcast “Let’s Be Clear.” She opened up about what her priorities are at this time. The actress said, “My priority at the moment is my mom. I know it’s going to be hard on her if I pass away before her.”
Shannen continued, “Because it’s going to be so hard on her, I want other things to be a lot easier. I don’t want her to have a bunch of stuff to deal with. I don’t want her to have four storage units filled with furniture.”
The 52-year-old spoke about how she has started going through things she has in storage, including antiques and various random things she’s accumulated over the years. Shannen Doherty also recently traveled to Tennessee to pack up her home there, saying that she realizes her dream of fostering horses and living there won’t ever come true now.
Charmed Star Doesn’t Value Material Items
“So we were in Tennessee and I was packing up one of the places there,” she said. “It was really hard and really emotional because to a certain extent — I felt like I was giving up on this dream of building this property out, and putting a house for me and a house for my mom and then extending the barn.”
She acknowledged that she was giving up something huge when she went there to pack things up. “I was packing up and I started crying. I felt like I was giving up on a dream and what did that mean for me? Did it mean that I was giving up on life? Did it mean that I was throwing in the towel?” Shannen said on her podcast.
Then she shared that her mother accompanied her to the property and told her she didn’t have to get rid of everything. “You don’t have to and you can keep going.” To which Shannen Doherty replied, “Yes, absolutely I can.”
Despite that revelation, the Charmed star said letting go of the property and that dream was the right thing to do. Right now, she is focused on other things and can’t give the house the attention it needs.
Throughout the entire process, Shannen Doherty said she’s learned something about herself. It turns out that she doesn’t value all of the things she’s collected over the years as much as she cherishes the memories she’s making with loved ones right now.

I wish you the very best Shannon. when 90210 was on you were the reason I watched. I loved you in that show with your ” I don’t care attitude and sarcasm was awesome ” , and that is from a man the same age as you… there is nothing that can prepare a person for death , nothing, most every person I have lost was unexpected and at least you can spend your time with your mom , your family and your friends….. I hate seeing you or anyone who had or has to suffer with cancer or als . I hope you can be happy and know there is millions of people all around the world who wish you will beat this and live another 52 years.
