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 last month from pancreatic cancer, told attendees 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 Tuesday for the annual nonpartisan Women's Conference in Long Beach, California.

    I know this has to be very hard for her. When you've had someone in your life that long and they are taking away it becomes a struggle and adjustment to change you're life. Even though he was sick and they probably both knew he wasn't going to make it, that doesn't make the pain any easier. I feel for her. I hope she has family by her side to get her through this.
