Alan Hamel On Grieving His Wife, Suzanne Somers

After a long battle with breast cancer, Suzanne Somers passed away on Oct. 16th of last year, the day before her 77th birthday. Alan Hamel, her loving husband, is still learning how to cope with the loss, but says that he now believes there’s an afterlife, after some strange happenings in the home that they shared.

“A hummingbird flew into our house and made the rounds in the kitchen,” he describes. “And the living room, and the dining room.” He noted that the hummingbird “hovered” in front of a framed pictures of lovebirds, and “landed on top and stayed there.” He believes this was a message from his wife, sending him love.

Hamel also says that when he’s getting in bed, ready to fall asleep, “I feel her laying beside me.” The pair had been the perfect picture of growing old together, having lived and loved for so many years together.

Alan Hamel Reflects On His Love For Suzanne Somers

Alan Hamel said after Suzanne's passing that they had talked about "this day coming," but that they "thought it was going to be me because I'm 10 years older." However, Hamel is selflessly happy that Somers wouldn't have to be alone, and suffer the sadness that he is feeling.

On Oct. 17th, the day after Suzanne's passing, Hamel shared with TODAY that he wrote a letter to his wife and gave it to her the night before she passed describing their love. In his letter, he wrote that the word "love" can't compare to what he feels for her.

"It's not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction. Unconditional love does not do it. I'll take a bullet for you doesn't do it. I weep when I think about my feelings for you. Feelings... That's getting close, but not all the way."

Hamel ended the letter by saying, "there are no words," "actions," "promises," or "declarations" that do his love for her justice. Instead, he write, "I will call it, 'Us.' Uniquely, magically, indescribably wonderful 'Us.'"
