Suzanne Somers' Widower Claims She Shows Signs of an Afterlife: "There Is an Afterlife"

Even a year after her death, Suzanne Somers' husband can still sense the star's presence in their shared home.

The actress, known for her role as Chrissy Snow in "Three's Company," passed away on Oct. 15, 2023, at the age of 76 after battling breast cancer for over 23 years.

Since his wife's passing, Alan Hamel has had "unusual" experiences that have been comforting, as he shared with Planet Chronicle Digital.

"The 88-year-old said, "One day, while in the kitchen with my family, Suzanne's favorite song played on the audio system. It was a Latin song performed by an unknown artist. We used to dance to it in the kitchen. The song just started playing on its own and when it ended, the audio system remained off.""

He shared that the fireplace started on its own later that day and remained on for an hour before turning off. Then, a hummingbird flew into their house and went straight to their little breakfast nook, where there was a photograph of Suzanne and him looking at each other. The hummingbird hovered between their two faces before flying up and perching on top of the photo.

"A few weeks after, I opened all the doors and windows and observed the same hummingbird with unique colorings. I approached and extended my hands. The hummingbird flew into my hands, and she tucked her feet. All I could feel was her belly. She felt secure."

Since he was 18 years old, Hamel has never lived alone. He admitted that some days are more challenging than others.

"Hamel stated, "I feel Suzanne's presence most strongly when I'm in bed at night, before I fall asleep. One night, I was certain she was sleeping beside me, so I reached over to confirm, but of course, she wasn't there.""

He believes in an afterlife because of his unusual experiences.

"We dispose of the body, but we retain a soul," he stated. "The soul is energy. I am convinced that it exists in a dimension or plane beyond our understanding. I firmly believe in an afterlife. When my time comes to end, Suzanne will be there to greet me."

"I absolutely believe there is an afterlife. I do believe that when my time comes to expire, Suzanne will be waiting for me." — Alan Hamel

"As the end approached, we had those conversations that are necessary. We discussed the afterlife, and we both shared our spiritual beliefs about a higher power. When you examine the intricate workings of the human body, with its glands and arteries, it's clear that it was not an accident. There was a design element at play. I believe there is another dimension that we have yet to comprehend. Some may consider me eccentric, but I choose to have faith."

The ex-TV producer is committed to preserving Somers' legacy. He maintains her social media accounts to advertise her wellness brand's products. Somers was renowned for hosting Instagram and Facebook shows to discuss her products and engage with her audience.

"During our final conversation, Suzanne emphasized the importance of continuing to develop new organic products for her female customers. She always referred to them as "my ladies." Our business was founded on the day she was fired from "Three's Company," and we focused on creating products that we would use ourselves and that would benefit others. Despite the lack of knowledge about branding at the time, Suzanne and I were able to build a successful business together. Today, it remains just as vibrant as ever."

He continued, "She would often hang out with her female colleagues during lectures and cooking demos. Over time, she became one of them. She always said to me, 'I know who my ladies are because they're me.' She was deeply concerned about their well-being. Her goal was to keep our health and beauty business thriving. It's a legacy business that continues to this day, even though Suzanne has passed on. Her ideas and legacy live on."

"Our social media shows continue, and my daughter-in-law is the president of the company. Our three granddaughters are also involved. We keep designing new products and have many in development. The business thrives for Suzanne's ladies, and knowing that the family is involved brings me joy. It certainly brought Suzanne joy as well."

In the '90s, Somers was a renowned entrepreneur who endorsed the ThighMaster. Additionally, she was a successful author, penning numerous bestsellers on topics such as aging, menopause, beauty, wellness, sex, and cancer.

The ThighMaster is among the products sold by Somers' online business, which also offers nutritional supplements, cosmetics, and skincare.

When Hamel isn't managing his late wife's business, he engages in romantic activities, but they are not what others assume.

"Hamel stated, "Suzanne and I used to date once a week and would dress up and go to an Italian or French restaurant. I miss that a lot. Now, I'm not dating anyone, but I will only date two women friends at a time. It's platonic. I don't want to be dishonest to Suzanne or have the media print that I'm already in a relationship. When you're with two women at the same time, the topic of relationships doesn't come up.""

"He chuckled, "I enjoy dating two women simultaneously. I've never done it before, and I don't see any reason to stop. I have many female friends, most of whom are married, and I'm friends with their husbands. Their husbands are okay with it, so I'm likely to continue. Currently, I'm dating two ladies who both love Suzanne. I probably have more female friends than male friends because I have more to talk to them about.""

In 1969, Somers and Hamel first crossed paths when he was the host of "The Anniversary Game" and she was a prize model. They tied the knot in 1977.

He said the secret behind their decades-long marriage in Hollywood is surprisingly simple.

"We were never apart for a single hour," he stated. "It wasn't intentional. We didn't plan to be inseparable. It just happened naturally. She told me one day, 'When you're in the next room, I miss you.' I replied, 'I feel the same way.' One of our sons pointed out, 'You two don't realize it, but you have a codependent relationship that is actually working.'"

"Our marriage was complicated, Hamel admitted, as we both came with children from previous relationships. Putting two families together into one is a challenging task. However, Suzanne took it on and succeeded. Despite our frequent drag-out fights, mainly due to our children, Suzanne managed to make our relationship work. One day, she told me that there were two things she wanted us to agree on: firstly, we would never break up, no matter how difficult things got, and secondly, we had to surrender to each other. That's what we did, and our relationship flourished."

"We surrendered to each other," he admitted. "It put an end to disagreements and prolonged arguments. We shared our desires and goals, and we supported each other. We were codependent, but it worked for us. People often wondered how we could spend over four decades with the same person without getting tired. It was Suzanne. This was our preferred way of living. We were business partners and life partners. We also shared our family. It worked for us. I never had a night out with the boys, and she never had a night out with the girls. We had friends, but we included each other in everything we did."

He chuckled as he remembered being the only male at the fashion shows his girlfriends attended with their friends.

Hamel stated that family has been crucial in assisting him deal with grief.

He emphasized that no one could ever replace Somers when it comes to finding love again.

"He pondered, "Do you believe I'll ever find someone else?" and replied, "I won't find anyone. I'm not searching. No one could ever replace what I had with Suzanne. We spent 55 years building our relationship. I wish I had another 55 years in my life. I don't think it's possible, but I'll continue to do what I love and for her.""
