Susan Lucci is telling all in her new memoir, La Lucci, including how she felt after losing her husband of more than 50 years, Helmut Huber, in 2022. Ahead of the book’s release on February 3, the soap star made rare comments about the grief she suffered after Huber died at the age of 84.

“The minute I fell in love like I did with my husband, I knew how vulnerable I was,” Lucci told People. “I was completely lost [after he died]. And it’s so isolating. You feel so alone, even though I had the most wonderful friend … I am so grateful for the people who stood by me.”
