[@EdsterIII]

I saw a snippet on Extra, not a fan of tabloid TV but they were talking about the relationship that Suzanne had with her husband. It was said that they never spent more than 2 hours apart. Now I have no idea how true this is or was but the love that they had was amazing and inseparable. He adored her and she adored him. She was in her 70's and she still talked about how her got her motor running. It was a very revealing yet on point interview. True Suzanne, she told it as she thought it was. I grew up watching Three's Company and all three of the original cast members were a big part of my youth. She may have played a "ditzy" blonde, but she knew how intelligent she truly was and wasn't intimidated by anyone. She was a strong and amazing woman who will be missed but never ever forgotten.

​@@loveyouallforeva Suzanne was diagnosed with breast cancer....and told she would DIE, soon....23 YEARS AGO. But, she didn't die in the year 2000. I'd say she was very successful in delaying her cancer for 23 YEARS.....with holistic remedies. Many people die within a year, or two WITH traditional chemotherapy. But, Suzanne extended her life for 23 more years and was able to reconcile with John Ritter (before his passing, in 2003)....and Joyce DeWitt (in 2012).

[@lifewithjackandnicole]

Lost the love of my life in 2019 after first meeting in high school, married in college and blessed with 37 years of marriage. Like Suzanne, my wife first had breast cancer 15 years earlier. Had surgery but said no to chemo. Doctors said she might see a return in less than 2 years and die. Instead we opted for different route of supplements and lifestyle changes. Stayed cancer free 10+ years with no regrets. Not a choice for all but was right for us. Our kids and friends said we were joined at the hip as we did everything together. I'm truly broken now but slowly learning to move forward with a broken heart. Like a pro athlete told me once about an injury he had. You simply learn to live with the pain. I trust Suzanne and my Pam are now walking the streets of heaven free from all pain and suffering. I can hardly wait to join them one day.

When my husband of 33 years died, my world turned upside down. Alan will always grieve for her. They spent a lifetime together. He wasn't necessarily surprised she died, but it was a terrible and immediate shock because his very existence changed forever.

Their story sounds similar to my folks. My mom & stepdad are the best of friends. When my mom was diagnosed with reproductive cancer, my dad & I were by her side, especially him every day. When people ask how long he has been married, they both would reply, “Not long enough.” They celebrated 34 years of marriage. My dad is 9 years older than my mom. It is so hard loosing her 4 months ago. However I’ve experienced through this time how well God has taken care of my heart. The love & joy my mom left with us, it’s an inspiration I want to follow after. I enjoyed growing up watching Suzanne Somers. My favorite tv show to watch of her is Step by Step. Oh my goodness, I LOVE that show 💛 Both Suzanne & my mom are strong women who love with all they have & add a special place in their heart with those they can wrap their arms around. My stepdad & I are here for each other & we’re still a close-knit family, just missing a special part of it. There isn’t a day that goes by I do not think of my mom🌻 Until I see her again one fine day, the memories of her she gave me are sensational & are held dear to my heart.

Alan is such a loving husband and I appreciate him helping Susanne’s fan celebrate her legacy and express our grief . Rest in peace

Oh, I watched a couple people I was very close to die in front of me in the hospital and was the only one there. You never get over it. Strength to you, Alan.

Suzanne Somers was an amazing Poet as well. 20+ years Cancer Survivor is an amazing testimony that you can overcome with the right knowledge and perseverance.

[@tasst2674]

I felt so bad for her loss, but plugging their website was inappropriate.

[@jnnlis]

Agree. Tasteless.

What a blessing for Suzanne to have been loved and have loved so resolutely. She clearly was a beautiful soul. She was an inspiration. May she rest in peace 💔 🌹❤

55 years! God bless them both for being couples goals! 🎉👸🏼🤴🏻 My late Mom was one of Suzanne’s ladies: had the Thigh-master (she never used), several of her books on homeopathy and things like that, and a convection oven that we used forever! Anything Suzanne was selling my Mom was buying. Two Libras in a pod. Safe trip, Suzanne! 🩷

[@sharynduran5993]

I am so sorry for your loss. Grief is a terrible thing. You never get over this loss. Ever.

[@sandymileski5486]

My sweet, beloved Mother Died recently. 🥀 I will always remember my Mother's curiosity and enthusiasm when she picked out Suzanne's unforgettable book, titled TOX-SICK. Suzanne contributed so much to our Lives! God rest their Souls in Perfect Peace! 🥀🥀
