00:00 I still feel her presence here.

00:02 She's somewhere.

00:03 I don't know where.

00:04 I know she's here.

00:05 Suzanne Somers' husband, Alan Hamill,

00:07 is holding on to their eternal bond.

00:10 We were perfectly matched from the day we met.

00:13 55 years ago.

00:17 We give each other a lot of attention.

00:19 Love this guy, yeah.

00:20 Alan opening up about his late life

00:22 in a touching Facebook Live video,

00:24 sharing his profound thoughts on the soul

00:27 and the hereafter.

00:29 I find as I age,

00:31 I spend more time thinking about an afterlife.

00:36 And I believe there's an afterlife.

00:39 I've had a couple of experiences,

00:41 personal experiences that have really turned me on

00:44 to thinking when we go, our bodies go,

00:48 but our soul, whatever soul is, I guess it's energy,

00:51 it seems to go to another place.

00:53 I don't know where that place is,

00:55 but it seems to go to another place.

00:57 I hope it does.

00:59 We get along so great.

01:01 It's so romantic and so glamorous.

01:03 And I feel what we have is like what poets write about,

01:08 why movies get made, why songs get written.

01:11 Alan was right by Suzanne's side when she died,

01:14 leaving her with a handwritten poem

01:16 as an early birthday present that read in part,

01:19 "I weep when I think about my feelings for you.

01:22 55 years together, 46 married,

01:25 and not even one hour apart for 42 of those years."

01:30 One of our sons referred to our relationship

01:32 as functionally codependent, which I guess it was,

01:37 because I did everything she wanted to do

01:39 and she did everything I wanted to do.

01:41 Alan and I had a very passionate, romantic,

01:46 long distance relationship filled with breakups

01:51 and coming together and breakups and coming together.

01:54 And it was always so incredibly passionate.

01:57 There's not many people, you know, people say,

01:59 oh, I could never spend that much time with my mate.

02:02 And they never got tired of each other.

02:04 They were like this.

02:05 Alan is very private, doesn't want to be a public person.

02:09 My mother loved being in the public

02:11 and so he protected her.

02:12 You know, my mother had an amazing talent

02:15 for being 100% present with whomever she was with.

02:20 Suzanne's son, Bruce Summers Jr.,

02:22 spoke with E.T. after her death,

02:24 opening up about the hardest days of her cancer battle

02:27 and her final moments of life.

02:30 She's had cancer all her life.

02:32 And then the big one came in this decade as well.

02:37 And she fought and fought and fought

02:41 and used every possible kind of healthcare,

02:46 allopathic, conventional, alternative and integrative.

02:52 Whatever was right.

02:54 And it looked like she was gonna make it.

02:56 And then it just overwhelmed her.

02:58 The overwhelming outpouring of love from everyone

03:02 is heartfelt, but it's a whole additional

03:08 wave of emotion as well.

03:10 I've held on to who I am and what I believe in.

03:13 When I think about what happened,

03:16 I lose it and then I regain it.

03:21 And it's probably gonna be that way for a while

03:23 until things settle down.

03:26 I lost half of me.

03:28 We were one.

03:29 I lost half of me like that.

03:31 Two piece in a pod.

03:33 And that life is over now.

03:38 And while life goes on for Alan and Bruce,

03:40 they still took the time to celebrate Suzanne

03:43 on what would have been her 77th birthday.

03:46 ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

03:51 ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

03:55 This is the cake that we had made for my mother.

03:58 Suzanne loved cake.

04:00 Loved cake.

04:01 We would go to weddings and we'd get there and I'd say,

04:04 "How well do you know these people?"

04:05 'Cause I'd never heard of them.

04:06 She said, "I've only met them once."

04:08 And I'd say, "She was there for the cake."

04:10 I'm not kidding.
