Patrick Swayze's death less than two years after his pancreatic cancer diagnosis served as a shocker that brought attention to a condition that spreads covertly.
Lisa Niemi Swayze, the actor's wife, was at his side till his passing in 2009 at the age of 57.
She claims that every day, she still senses his presence.
He's speaking to me in my head. He makes remark on what I'm doing.
I can speak to him in my head if I need encouragement or anything is going on, and I can hear every word he says, which is typically, "Come on, girl, get real.
"Your bond with someone doesn't stop just because they passed away. We were together for 34 years, and it will always be a part of my life and who I am."
In 1975, when she was 18 and Swayze was 23, they got married.
