On September 1, 2023, the celebrity posted a note on Instagram asking the month to wake her up when it was over.

She wrote, "Dear September, please wake me up when you end. Love, Amy." She mentioned that the death of her husband happened 20 years ago in 2003.

On September 11, 2003, Ritter began experiencing severe nausea and vomiting while filming '8 Simple Rules'. He was then taken to a nearby hospital, St. Joseph's, as reported by LA Times.
