That November, Shannen explained that her beloved mom — who was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm when the TV star was 8 — taught her to be tenacious in life .
“I come from a woman who was determined,” Shannen said at the time. “She impressed that upon me as a very young child, like, ‘You don’t give up. You just have to work hard at it.'”
“I think I was always a fighter,” she added. “I was raised that way to be very strong and that I could do anything that I put my mind to.”
