New York - Patrick Swayze's widow has told a crowd near Los Angeles that the loss of her husband of 34 years has left her with sadness "on a cellular level".
Lisa Niemi, making her first public comments since Swayze's death in September from pancreatic cancer, told attendees on Tuesday at a conference that her pain "made all the sadness and grief previous to that look like an intellectual concept"
Though she cared for her husband during his 22-month battle with the disease, Niemi says grappling with the 57-year-old Dirty Dancing star's death was still "an animal all its own".
Niemi was speaking to several thousand women gathered for the annual nonpartisan Women's Conference in Long Beach, California.
