Suzanne Somers 'Couldn't Do Anything for Herself Anymore' — Grieving Husband on Losing Her

Suzanne Somers was a successful Hollywood actress who amassed fans worldwide for her beloved characters. However, none loved her more than her family. Now, they are mourning her loss.

Suzanne Somers passed away earlier this month after battling cancer on and off for seventeen years. The news of her death came as a shock to all those who loved her acting career. Yet her family was most heartbroken they wouldn't spend another birthday with her.

Somers' family had gathered at her home to celebrate her birthday, but the day before they were set to wish her a happy birthday, she passed away peacefully in her sleep.

Somers and her husband, Alan Hamel, had been together for over five decades and shared many beautiful memories. Hamel's parting gift to Somers was a letter she read before she closed her eyes for the final time. Now, Hamel is sharing his feelings.

What Did Hamel Say About Somers' Death?

Hamel recently did an interview in which he talked about his life with Somers and her last days. He shared his grief with the world, ensuring Somers' fans knew she loved them.

In the video, Hamel discussed the first time he saw Somers and the hardships they faced in their marriage, including Somers' health. He shared:

"Every day was a major fight, and it was difficult for her. She couldn't do anything for herself anymore."

Hamel also admitted that he was grieving his wife, with whom he had spent most of his life and whose career he managed. He lamented: "I would give my life for her to come back right now."

Just before Somers passed away, her husband was there to hold her hand as he had been so many times before. Hamel shared that she was breathing heavily, and he gave her a pill to help calm it down, but it didn't work.

Although the pill did not work, Hamel was grateful that he was with his wife during her final moments. He confirmed that her passing had been peaceful and that she was beautiful.

As Somers' family gathered, Hamel said everyone remained in high spirits, and anytime he felt his heart becoming low, he would leave the room to be alone with his feelings and not bring anyone down.

Hamel admitted that he had been talking to her the night before she passed, even though she wouldn't respond. However, when he kissed her, she responded with a kiss.

Because Somers responded to Hamel's kiss, he continued kissing her until she took her final breath. When Hamel stopped kissing his wife, she began breathing heavily in her last breaths.

Somers Health Concerns

Somers was diagnosed with cancer many years ago and suffered the disease in many forms. Recently, the family announced that her breast cancer was back, and she was fighting it away from the spotlight.

However, in 2020, Somers suffered another health issue. Somers had a fall, which caused her mobility issues. Hamel tended to those when he noticed something else may have been wrong.

She took some time to recover, and when Hamel checked on her a few days before her death this year, he knew something was wrong. He noticed she was not eating or taking her medication like she used to. Days later, she passed away.

Hamel and Somers met on the "Anniversary Show" set after Somers divorced her first husband. Hamel approached Somers, and she took an instant liking to him. They were together ever since.

Now that Hamel is on his own following Somers' death, he says their family has rallied around him. He even joked:

"They haven't told me this, but I think there was a plan, 'Make sure he's not alone,' and I love that."

Although Somers had been unresponsive for a while, Hamel said that three days before her death she seemed to be doing better. However, things took a turn once more, and she died holding her husband's hand. Rest in peace to an acting legend.
