Shannen Doherty faces what her funeral will be like: "There are many I don't want to attend"

A little more than half a year has passed since actress Shannen Doherty revealed to her followers the hard process she is going through. The interpreter of Prue Halliwell in Charmed confessed to having metastases in the brain and having already undergone several sessions of radiotherapy and surgery. Something that left her more than two million followers shocked and that she has not hesitated to talk about whenever she could.

"I haven't finished living yet. I don't want to die," the actress bluntly expressed in one of her interviews. However, she had already received one of the worst news about her: the cancer had already spread to her bones.

It was in 2020 when the 52-year-old actress was diagnosed with breast cancer that is already in stage four. "I'm not done with living. Not with loving. I'm not done with creating. Not with the hope of changing things for the better. I'm just not done," she said emotionally.

Although she hopes to be able to "squeeze in another three or five years," Shannen Doherty has not hesitated to plan what she wants her last moments to be like, and, above all, her farewell. A tough decision that she has been able to make having assumed her current situation.

In the latest episode of her Let's Be Clear podcast, the actress admitted that there are some she doesn't want at her funeral. "There are a lot of people that I think would show up that I don't want there," she has assured her guest Chris Cortazzo, who is her best friend, as well as the executor of her will. Therefore, he is one of those who must ensure the fulfillment of her wishes.

And he does not want anyone to appear at the funeral chapel whose reasons for being there are not "necessarily the best." "They don't really like me, and they have their reasons, and it's good for them, but they don't really like me enough to attend my funeral," he said.

Although he believes that all those people will attend his farewell, he hopes that these words will make many of them reconsider and finally decide not to attend. Among other things, he wants the end of his days to be more "a celebration of love" than a hard time to go through. "I don't want people to cry or privately say, 'Thank God, that bitch is already dead,'" he has made it clear.

And if there is something he cannot stand, it is "falsehood" and all those people who "pretend that they found Jesus" and express being "very sorry." Therefore, the only list you will provide to your best friend is the list of attendees, since it is "shorter and better." "I can't give you a list of who I don't want because it's too long," he joked.
