Suzanne Somers' Husband Had a 'Vision' after Her Death – He Buried Her in Boots with Handwritten Note

• The loving husband of the late and great Suzanne Somers revealed that he had a "vision" after her death.
• When Somers was laid to rest, Alan Hamel buried his beloved wife in special custom boots that had handwritten notes on them, which bear sentimental significance.
• Shortly after her death, Hamel and other loved ones celebrated Somers and her life.

It has been more than a month since Hollywood legend Suzanne Somers sadly passed away this year. The "Three's Company" star died in the early morning of October 15 at 76, surrounded by her loving family.

Somers had a long history of health ailments and had battled cancer for a significant part of her life. Her cancer had returned in July, but according to her devoted and loving husband, Alan Hamel, 87, Somers had been doing better just three days before her death after having spent six weeks with medical specialists in Chicago.

However, things worsened a couple of days after she returned home from Chicago. Somers stopped eating, responding, and taking her medication. Respecting his wife's wish of not wanting to go to a hospital, Hamel stayed by Somers' side during her final days. He said:

"I talked to her for hours, every night, and I assumed she could hear me because her lips responded..."

Hamel also wrote a heartwarming poem for his beloved late wife that she read on the day before she passed. The beautiful words boasted about his unwavering and enduring love for her and mentioned how the couple never spent as much as an hour apart. A part of the message, written in all caps, read:

"We are one. I am in love with you, my beautiful Suzanne, for all of eternity."

Somers and Hamel's love story stood the test of time and spanned over four decades. After ten years of dating, the duo tied the knot in 1977 and entered into business ventures together, creating and building Somers' empire.

Far from growing tired of each other as the years went on, Hamel and Somers' relationship grew stronger, and they fell deeper in love with each other as time passed. Another thing that never fizzled was their burning desire for one another, as Somers previously revealed taking melanocortin-based peptide shots to keep their intimate life alive.

With the love of his life gone, Hamel, his kids, Somers' son, and their grandchildren survive their dearly missed matriarch. Of losing his beloved wife, Hamel expressed:

"...we had talked about this day coming, and we thought it was going to be me because I'm 10 years older. If that happened she would be alone, which was a terrible conundrum, the idea of her being alone."

Alan Hamel Explained Why Suzanne Somers Was Buried in Special Shoes and Shared His 'Vision' after Her Death

When Somers was laid to rest, she was buried in a pair of custom-made Timberland boots. The loving handwritten messages created by Hamel that were plastered on them gave the shoes special significance.

Hamel and his family are going through an extremely challenging time.

The notes on the shoes spoke to the couple's unconditional and immortal love and included an inside reference alluding to the duo's active love life: "in love forever" and "twice a day." The designer boots also had red and pink Picasso-esque drawings of a man and woman and squiggly shapes.

Concerning why Somers was buried in the one-of-a-kind shoes, Hamel recalled how he initially purchased the boots for Somers because of their shared love of hiking. He then decided to kit the boots out with unique drawings and notes to personalize them for her and represent their life together. According to Hamel, Somers being buried in her Timbalands was because:

"Every time she put on the Timbalands, she said, 'I am wearing you, and my boots will keep me safe.'"

In the same month Somers passed away, her husband, who she always felt safe with, shared that he had a vision of her days after her demise. Of what he saw, Hamel revealed:

"I was half asleep when I had a vision that she was in bed with me and turned around and looked right at me—I could feel her presence, I felt she was there...I feel in someway she was visiting me."

A few days after Somers' death, her spirit, which recently paid a visit to her beloved spouse, was celebrated by Hamel and their loved ones. On October 18, they all gathered with a beautifully decorated and lit-up cake as they sang happy birthday to the late star.

In the video, Hamel, who stands front and center in a pink shirt, sings his heart out with gusto as he looks at the camera. Toward the end of the video, Hamel leads the group as they express their love for Somers, and after clapping, the 87-year-old covers his face with his hands and looks down.

As for how Hamel has been dealing with the loss of the love of his life, though he admitted to finding it incredibly tough, he luckily has the love and support of his family. While speaking about his feelings after Somers' passing, Hamel disclosed:

"I lost half of me. We were one..."

Hamel had uttered those words as part of his social media tribute to his late wife. In the video, he reflected on their journey together and shared his thoughts on the concept of an afterlife while talking about him still feeling his wife's presence.

Although, naturally, Hamel and his family are going through an extremely challenging time as they continue to mourn the loss of Somers, what has been helpful is the outpouring of love and support from fans. As stated by Somers' son, Bruce Jr.:

"The overwhelming outpouring of love from everyone is heartfelt..."

As such, Somers' family has created a tribute book where fans can add their dedications and messages to the "Step by Step" talent. Regarding what Hamel plans to do to honor his late wife further, he said he is committed to ensuring the upkeep and running of Somers' family-run company, which he said was her dying wish.
