In a heartfelt conversation, Jennie Garth opened up about the profound impact of Shannen Doherty’s passing, sharing that the grief still feels surreal. The former Beverly Hills 90210 star expressed her emotions during an interview, acknowledging the deep loss felt by fans and the cast alike.

“Grief is different for everyone,” Jennie said. “For me, it takes a long time to accept that someone is truly gone. It doesn’t feel real. This is what happened when I lost my dad and also with Luke [Perry]. It’s just hard to process.”

Reflecting on her time with Shannen, Jennie highlighted their bond and the memories they created together on set. “We had such a unique experience growing up in the industry together,” she reminisced. “The connection we formed is something I’ll always cherish.”

The loss of Shannen has been particularly poignant for Jennie, who described how it feels like a part of her past is still alive, making it challenging to fully grasp the finality of loss. “I think about her often,” she shared. “Her spirit is still very much with us, and I believe she’ll always be a part of our lives.”

As fans continue to celebrate Shannen’s legacy, Jennie encourages everyone to remember the joy and laughter she brought into their lives. “Let’s honor her memory by sharing our stories and keeping her spirit alive,” she concluded.

Jennie’s candid reflections remind us of the lasting impact loved ones have on our lives, and how their presence continues to resonate, even in their absence.
