In a podcast episode released earlier this year, Doherty revealed she had begun sorting through her belongings, hoping to spare her family members from the painful task following her death.
“My priority at the moment is my mom,” Doherty said. “I know it’s going to be hard for her if I pass away before her, but — so sorry, this is a hard one for me — but 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. I don’t want her to have four storage units filled with furniture.”
