Once a skeptic, Suzanne Somers’ widower, Alan Hamel, said he is now a believer in “an afterlife” because of a series of “strange” instances following the star’s death.
Hamel, 87, told about three occurrences in the same day that made him feel that Somers, who hand on Oct. 15 at 76 after, is still with him in spirit.
First, “a hummingbird flew into our house and made the rounds in the kitchen, and the living room and the dining room,” Hamel explained. He added that the bird then “hovered” in front of a framed photo of the lovers before it “landed on top and stayed there.”
Even better, Hamel managed to get a picture of it.

“No one’s ever heard of this guy,” he said of the obscure artist.
Finally, when Hamel was about to fall asleep for the night, he could “feel her laying beside me,” he said.
Somers and Hamel were — and the ThighMaster spokeswoman was never shy about .
But now that she’s gone, Hamel confessed to Page Six, “I’m a believer now that there is an afterlife. I’m convinced of it … I think there’s something we don’t understand. I think there’s a plane somewhere … after we discard our bodies. We still have our soul. I think our soul is energy. The soul must go somewhere and do something.”
He also said he’s not the only family member to experience this since Somers’ passing.
The duo were married for nearly 50 years. Suzanne Somers/Instagram“The time when… and I have one of my moments when I have to leave, I go into the bedroom … I’m alone there. And I feel her presence. Once I interact with her presence, I go back and interact with the family,” he said.
“Her grandkids, one by one, have told me the same thing.
“I hope it’s all true,” Hamel admitted. “It certainly makes the grieving process a lot easier,” and, “If it is, we’ll be reunited.”

“We joked about it. Before she was sick. Before the last chapter,” Hamel said. “We joked about when one of us passed, it would likely be me because I’m 10 years older.”
He recalled Somers telling him, “Knowing you, you’ll be on your way back before you’ve left.
