Life

One day before Suzanne Somers died, her husband handed her a farewell note that will break your heart.

Suzanne Somers, 76, died from breast cancer after a lengthy battle.

Her representative broke the heartbreaking news to her, saying she “passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of October 15th.”

It was a somber occasion, as her family had come to celebrate what would have been her 77th birthday on October 16. Rather, they chose to honour her exceptional life and express their thanks to all of her many fans and supporters.

Suzanne Somers fought an aggressive form of breast cancer for 23 years, displaying tremendous strength. According to her spokesperson, she died surrounded by her loved ones, including her son Bruce, her dedicated husband Alan, and her close relatives. There will be a memorial service in November, as well as a private family burial this week.

She revealed that her breast cancer had returned to Fox News in July. She went on: “I have been living with cancer for decades now, using the best of traditional and alternative medicine to keep it at bay.” I keep batting that little f* back whenever it arrives.

“It is a recurrence of my breast,” she said, referring to her most recent diagnosis. As every sufferer, you feel a pit in your stomach when you hear the dreaded phrase, “It is back.” I then equip up for battle and enter the battlefield. I am a tough guy, and I am quite familiar with this warfare.

Suzanne Somers rose to prominence as Chrissy Snow, the bubbly blonde roommate, in the 1977 comedy Three’s Company, which starred Jack Tripper (John Ritter) and Janet Wood (Joyce DeWitt).

Her career took off, and she went on to become the face of the ThighMaster, an at-home leg-toning workout product that has reportedly grossed $300 million since its launch. Her hubby, Alan Hamel, co-owned the product.

Suzanne Somers’ commercial zeal stretched beyond Thighmaster. Her name appeared on everything from jewelry to protein formulae. She published 27 novels, 14 of which became New York Times bestsellers. Suzanne was devoted to living a healthy lifestyle. The actress remarked, “It is really hard for me to eat food that is not organic because I had ᅄᴀɴᅄᴇʀ,” in reference to her recent struggle with cancer, which prompted her to highlight organic and chemical-free things in her daily life.

Suzanne has been happily married to her beloved Alan since 1977. Bruce is the couple’s son; Camelia, Violet, and Daisy are their three grandkids.

Following Suzanne’s death, People published a heartfelt letter Alan penned to his wife. He gave the message to her the day before she died, wrapped in pink peonies and written in all capitals. “Affection” is something I use on a daily basis, often many times. I use it to conclude emails to my loyal family members. I use it in emails to close friends as well. According to People, the note began “I use it when I am leaving the house.” “If love exists, then love yourself, and I love you as well! There are some examples of how we utilize love in diverse situations. Even if I do not want to use the word love, I feel forced to respond to someone who signed their email with it.

“I also refer to a delicious dinner as love. I use it to express my views on a Netflix series. When I say love, I typically think of my house, my cat Gloria, Gloria’s acts, and the flavor of a cantaloupe I grew in my garden. A freshly picked organic royal jumbo medjool date tastes delicious. I adore biting on a fig tree. I adore seeing the two gigantic blackbirds that live nearby perform strong dives just outside my window. My daily life is filled with both people and things I admire and people and things I do not care about. He moved on. I could go on forever, but you get the point. What type of love am I experiencing for my wife, Suzanne? Will it appear in any of the above? A huge, gigantic NO! Even when I use the word relevant, I do so with caution because Suzanne does not fit any of its definitions.

“The language equivalent is not even near. It is not even a small fraction of another tiny fraction. Love without conditions is inadequate. It does not state, “I will take a bullet for you.” Thinking about how I feel about you causes me to cry. Sensations… That is not quite there, but it is near.

“It was 55 years together, 46 years married, and 42 years of not spending a single hour apart.” “That is not even enough,” he added. “Even going to bed at 6 p.m. and holding hands does not work. It does not work to look at your beautiful face as you sleep.”I am going through everything again. “There are no more words,” he said. “Nothing’s occurring. Not a guarantee. Nothing to declare. Even the green-shaded Oxford University Press academics had to wait 150 years to coin that one phrase. Thus, I will refer to it as “Us,” the uniquely, enraptured, and completely astounding “Us.”

This is quite worrisome. Our thoughts and prayers are with Suzanne Somers’ family, friends, and admirers at this terribly difficult time.
