“I don’t want to die,” Doherty said. “I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving. I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with hopefully changing things for the better. I’m just not — I’m not done.”
Doherty continued to say her spirituality and faith are keeping her going, and insists just because she has a terminal illness, doesn’t mean she has to give up on life.
She added: “I pray. I wake up and go to bed thanking God, praying for the things that matter to me without asking for too much. It connects me to a higher power and spirituality. My faith is my mantra.
“I know it sounds cheesy and crazy, but you’re just more aware of everything, and you feel so blessed.
