Here's what Holly said.
"It's been one week and it feels like forever. I spent all day looking for one particular picture and found just about every picture but that one," Holly wrote. "Shannen promised to haunt me but I thought she'd be occupied with a few others at first. Alas I'm sure it will show up when and where I least expect it. My rock. 10:18."
Fans poured out their support in the comments.
"Thank you for sharing all of these photos with us , they capture so many beautiful moments with her , I’m sending lots of love and hugs your way ❤️," one person commented.

Holly got emotional during a podcast segment.
During the first episode of The House of Halliwell since Shannen's death, Holly got emotional alongside Charmed alums Brian Krause and Drew Fuller. “That’s one of the saddest parts to me is that she was really looking forward to this,” she said. “She was really looking forward to this, and she was really looking forward to watching the episodes with Rose [McGowan]. One of the last times I was with her, we actually watched the first two episodes together like we were freaking teenagers again.”
She shared other posts in memory of her friend.
In the first one after the actress' death, Holly posted throwback photos of the two. "My better half of 31 years. There is a hollow in my chest and I can't seem to catch my breath," she wrote. "A part of me is missing even though I know exactly what you would say to me right now. I know exactly what you would tell me to do right now. I know your undying spirit will live in me and my kids who you loved as your own."
Holly says her kids will also carry Shannen with them.
"They will walk with your sense of purpose and pride. They will be truthful and stand up for what is right. No matter what and zero f—s given. Your fire will live on in them and the many other Charmed ones you helped raise," Holly continued. "A fierce fighter til the end. My most ardent champion. My loyal protector. My best friend. You taught me the meaning of family. You were and will be forevermore my sister. I love you."
