“Suzanne and I were so close that she said that when I wasn’t in the room she would miss me and I would miss her too, even though we were in the same house. In fact, we would go to sleep holding hands, which which was very special to me,” he said.
Alan also conveyed that he feels their souls are united. “Half of me is her,” the 88-year-old added.
Now Alan is alone for the first time in decades. ‘Now, for the first time in 55 years, I am alone; I haven’t lived alone much in my life; the only time was for two weeks and I hated it. “I was very young and I just didn’t like it,” he said.
But there are constant reminders of Suzanne everywhere, he shared. “There are photos everywhere, of our children, that helps.”
And he really appreciated that she worked hard to bring her children together.
“In the early years, Suzanne and I were bringing our two families together,” the film’s producer said.
‘Those of you who have done this know how difficult the task is. But Suzanne declared that she would unite our two families and create one magnificent family and she did.
And six beautiful grandchildren put the icing on the cake. We both loved our children very much. During the years he was working in television, we rarely accepted invitations to industry events and only wanted to be together at home.
And to mark the first anniversary of her death, her widower Alan Hamel spoke to DailyMail.com. “Missing Suzanne probably isn’t a powerful enough word because for the last 55 years we haven’t even spent an hour apart,” he shared with DailyMail.com. Seen in 2015
‘We had a beach house in Venice and every Sunday the kitchen island was filled with amazing food that Suzanne had prepared and we also invited our dear friends to join us in the afternoon, eat great food and hang out at the beach Life was good, courtesy of Super Mom and Super Wife.
‘Suzanne did what she came to do. Suzanne said “when you are in the next room I miss you” Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!! Those could have been my words.
‘One day…. Together again.
“I keep hearing Lou Rawls sing and it reminds me of my dear Suzanne. You will never find, as long as you live, Someone who loves you dearly like I do, You will never find, no matter where you look, Someone who cares about you like I do, Whoa, no I’m bragging. ‘About me, darling, but I’m the one who loves you.’
Hamel told DailyMail.com earlier that “very strange” things are happening inside the house they shared.
A hummingbird that came home.
“This cute little hummingbird flew into the house, went to the entryway, into the kitchen, and then into the living room,” Alan began.
In some cultures, the hummingbird is considered a symbol of resurrection and immortality. It is believed that the spirits of deceased loved ones can return in the form of a hummingbird to provide comfort and guidance to the living.
Hamel was fascinated by the bird.
‘The bird was looking out the window, trying to see what was inside. “Then the bird found its way into the house,” the former game show host said.
“He approached a large sliding glass door and tried to get out, but became frustrated and sat down.
‘I approached the bird and held out my hand. Then it flew towards my hand, something hummingbirds never do. It was so unusual. So I took the little bird outside, where it was safe.

‘I felt like Suzanne had told the bird to visit me. I know it sounds strange, but many people have told me that hummingbirds are signs of the afterlife.’
Months before, another hummingbird was seen at his house.
“It looked like the same bird because it had the same purple breast,” Alan also told DailyMail.com.
“The bird then fluttered over a framed photograph of Suzanne and me. It stayed there for a while and then landed on top of the frame. “It felt like a message from my late wife.”
Another strange thing was how the fireplace turned on and off by itself.
We were all in the kitchen when we heard something. I walked into the living room and the fireplace was lit.
‘There is no one who could have turned on the gas light. There was no one there. It was on for an hour and then it went off. Suzanne loved having the fire going.
Then there is his spirit at night.
“When it’s night and I’ve settled in, I think about my wife,” he shared. ‘I feel his presence, as if he were in bed next to me. Of course not, but I really feel like he’s there watching me in the same place where I always slept.
“I still sleep on my side, I don’t want to move.”
This comes after he told DailyMail.com in late October that he feels the actress’s presence next to him when he is in bed.
He also had a “vision” of her.
“I was lying on my side of the bed and I reached out like I always did when I held Suzanne’s hand,” he said at the time.
“I was half asleep when I had a vision that she was in bed with me and she turned and looked right at me; I could feel her presence, I felt like she was there. I was so surprised that I opened my eyes thinking maybe she could be there.” , but of course she wasn’t there. I feel like she was visiting me in some way,” he shared.
The producer also talked about their latest road trip from Illinois to California that took them through Utah and Nevada: “She loved seeing all the nature,” he offered.
And he shared that he had a ‘vision’ of his explosive blonde wife days after her death. ‘I was alone in bed half asleep when I held his hand and saw him looking at me. It felt like she was there,’ he shared.
The TV producer then shed light on their unique Hollywood love story, from how they met in the 1960s and fell in love on a houseboat. “She had an anklet with bells on it and it fit her perfectly,” she said of living in the hippie community of Sausalito.
And he revealed what his last wish was: ‘She wanted me to continue with your companyto give organic products to her ‘ladies’ as she called them. “She wanted her clients to have the best,” he added.

As for your vision, it happened last year.
‘Four nights had passed without Suzanne by my side. “Like I said, we always sleep next to each other and holding hands, so it’s a big change for me,” he said.
Hamel traveled through them the last days of his life.
The last two days before Suzanne died, she was not alert: “She just lay there and didn’t move, she couldn’t do anything for herself, so I sat next to her and told her stories and talked to her for many, many times. many hours. I wasn’t sure if he could hear me or not, but I hoped he could.
Before she passed, he gave her a kiss.
I kissed her like I always do and she kissed me back. After the kiss I realized it was a real kiss, which surprised me because she hadn’t responded. And it was powerful and it made me think that she was there listening to me before she died and I’m glad I spent so much time with her,” Alan said.
Alan also revealed that he and Suzanne had discussed at length how she would pass.
“She said she didn’t want 911 called, she didn’t want to be in the hospital and she didn’t want to be intubated; she wanted to be home in a familiar environment.” “So we agreed that his passing would be comfortable and that we would be with his cat Gloria,” he told DailyMail.com.
He added that they liked the simple life, not the ostentation of fame.
‘Suzanne and I didn’t like the glitzy showbiz parties in Hollywood and that’s why we moved to the desert 47 years ago; We wanted to get our kids out of Los Angeles and raise them in an environment where we could focus. Suzanne was a great mother in that sense, she really put the children first.

‘When Suzanne and I first got together, she said she was going to combine our two families and make them one, and she did.
‘Now I am the beneficiary of their hard work because the children are also close to us and have been here with me non-stop helping me with the pain. I don’t know if they planned it in advance or what, but they made sure I’m not alone and that I feel loved and that all has to do with Suzanne’s great parenting.’
He also noted that Somers battled cancer throughout his adult life.
‘Suzanne had a hard life; She fought cancer since she was 20 years old. It just never left her and I think it had to do with her childhood; I had an alcoholic father who was difficult and I don’t think that helped. She grew up with a lot of stress.’
