Just watched this for the first time and omg Lisa, you are unbelievably brave to stand on stage and tell your story and love that you had for Patrick. You were blessed to be such a huge part of his life and he was to be part of yours. I can hear how much you loved him and I hope you can feel our love for you. X

Lady I really do believe you're serious, but really think about it she's doing this on Patrick's coattails she doesn't want you to think that so that's why she starts all saying all the things she is and can do and is known for and this good at and to me when somebody starts to talkin like that It's all about her her and how wonderful she is well if she's wonderful, she is because of her husband whom we all loved and he was never on stage doing what she's doing. I guess she has a right and I think I have a right to my own reaction and response because I never liked her. I think she is in was a cold fish! But she was right about one thing she was married to the sexiest man alive, until she wasn't

My sister is over fifteen years Pancreatic cancer survivor. No chemo, no surgery, do drugs. Lots of prayers, emotional healing, all vegan diet, and she is still with us today. The lord had another plan for her. She had a 2.5 centimeter by 2.5 centimeter tumor in her pancreas , it shrunk. My sister is one of the few. I am so thankful to the lord that she is still alive. Now my sister helps people with cancer, she is a cancer coach, and working on her book as she calls it; about her cancer "journey".

Thank you lisa. My husband also died from pancreatic cancer in sept. Of 2013. We had been married 35 years. He was loosing muscle and couldn't get diagnosed and so he made me go on a wonderful vacation to DC for a week. We got back and he was finally diagnosed and was gone 5 months later. He too worked almost until the end and yes it was beautiful and oh so intimate! He died with a smile on his face. He used to say if you die first I'm going to get you stuffed and put you in the corner. I would smile and say nobody puts baby in the corner and then we would have a beautiful roll in the hay! Thanks again lisa, god bless.

I lost my husband to Mesothelioma on July 19, 2021, just 3 months ago. It’s a death sentence. Prognosis 6-12 months. We met when I was barely 15, he was 19 - 57 yrs ago. He fought with everything he could, chemo, special treatments, drinks...but he just kept losing ground. I had no help except from our son in the midst of Covid. It’s amazing how long a body can go on with very little nourishment. But those 6 months were precious. 3 days after going to Hospice, at 11:00 p.m., we told him it was time to go. He died peacefully 1 hr. and 40 minutes later. I hope the day comes when I’m as brave as you. I so admired Patrick and the way you handled it together. Grief is indescribable.

Lisa, you have such an enormous spirit. It is easy to understand why Patrick treasured you. I lost my husband of almost 32 years 7 years ago to cancer. You seem to have a sense of wholeness that been invaluable, but it is true that in a long term, loving relationship it is like the roots of the two people have grown together and are intertwined so when one is uprooted the other is left in a weakened state. I deal with mental illness and my husband was my gatekeeper so I am still trudging through each day, but I love it when he comes to me in my dreams. I know it is a dream but it is like I have him back for a few minutes. Very precious. Once though as I was awakening I thought I could hear him snoring and I was so excited but it was my dog. I was devastated. How much I would give to hear him snore again. “...and in these dreams we share let us not miss one kiss”. So happy you have found love again.

Her love for her new husband is a different love, it's not the same.

I can see the hurt…feel it through the spoken words. I like many others have lost people I love. Days are good and then that feeling descends upon you like a weighty blanket that holds you down. You stay in that position until you reach inside the wonderful memories that are held secure within your heart and hold them close. I do not believe in death. The soul is eternal. The vessel that we were given at birth wears out, or becomes so sick that it is useless to use anymore. That is when the soul takes wings and flies. At that moment you are reborn and you are no longer held down by sickness, and pain. My father died of Alzheimer’s. It is a horrible disease. You lose them twice. The first loss is when they stop being able to communicate. It’s like a deep valley separates you from the one you love and you can’t help them cross back over to you. My father and I used to sit and talk for hours about all kinds of things before he got sick. Then the death of the vessel happens and you know once again they are free, well and safe. I had a very beautiful dream, which I feel was a visitation from my father about two weeks after his death. He had walked through the dining room. Reached out and took me into his arms, and laughed and laughed. He kept saying my goodness, my goodness. It was so healing for me. He was young. My guess was about 30. He was perfect. I also experienced loss when my ex husband died of melanoma. It was entirely different from the death of my father. He did not live long after the diagnosis came in. Melanoma is called the gold star of cancer. It is deadly and it can take you out very quickly. Each day my children and I tried to take care of him and help him to die. Hospice was such a gift. Even with hospice on board he suffered greatly. His lungs were filling with fluid. He could hardly breathe. It’s at those times that you pray for the Lord to take them home. You know that heaven awaits them. A place of perfect peace, health and harmony. He died at a time when they told us he would live two more weeks. Paul had the last word. He left on his own terms. I would have loved to have seen his spirit come up out of that diseased body. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was running circles in that room and laughing. He was always a energy filled man. Cancer took that from him for a short time. But he won in the end because his soul was reborn into a life that we are all meant to live. I am glad that neither he or my father have to experience the sadness of this world with all the hatred that is wrapping around this world. They never experienced the pandemic. No doubt there will be things we will go through in this world that will be unpleasant. But in the end those of us who know the Lord win because we go to be with Him. Never again to be sick, sad, afraid, hurt again. We are reborn to wholeness. I physically felt Paul the night he died. I was brushing my teeth and crying and felt his hand on my back. My children both have had distinct experiences of their own with him. I know he and my father come when I’m sad or fearful. I feel their presence. I look forward to my time to go where I can see them again. I say the older I get the closer I get to being young again. We will get a new body and it will be young and perfection. Until that time we must spread the love that we gave them to others and help them in this journey of life. We are here to learn for what we think is a long life…but when compared to eternity it is very short. I say…love those around you. Love conquers all.

rhon715 I know, I wish people would stop judging her. Whether you like her or not, she has no choice but to go on with life. If she is lucky enough to find love again, good for her. She did not leave Patrick, Patrick did not leave her by choice. Life is what it is. Her selling her place with him must have been devastatingly difficult. I personally probably could not have done it, but everyone is different. She probably couldn't completely go on if she still lived there. Maybe it is a move of respect for their love and life together that she could not live there with someone else. I can see that. It has been a long time since he passed. I think every one of us knows he would want her to go on and find love if she could. If you love someone you want them to be happy. Neither of them had a choice of being separated. They were blessed more than most people in life to have had what they did for the time they did. You cannot ever recreate that and can only be grateful that you were so blessed and move on. Blessings Lisa.

I bet you believe fake pres lies too. Sorry but abuse is abuse it is plain and simple If half of what she tries to say is true she would of given his close family a choice of his most precious items not sell the to strangers on ebay. Selli g the farm the horses she had to have. I think Patrick would be shocked at how naive people are. He is dancing with angels and not watching his abuser continue to do so making more money off him.

It's ok to remarry but there is some nasty gossip that she sort of confirms by selling all his treasured possessions. He was worth a lot why did she need to sell some of the items his family would surely treasure if given the chance to keep? I don't know what to think really.

She is such a brave woman. She stuck with him through the good, bad and the ugly. She is right how he was fearless and was never afraid to try anything. He was so handsome, awesome actor and a wonderful husband. Her and Patricks's DVD before his passing they were going to have a baby and she was pregnant but lost the baby and never tried again and they were both devastated. They were team and a strong couple and fought the devil. She is such an amazing woman after 4 years after his passing.

Beautiful brave lady. Life is to be lived and in love. It takes incredible courage to find a new beginning and to give yourself permission. A beautiful tribute to Patrick and their enduring love. Calm peacefullness and love on her new beginning. My husband is terminal with Huntingtons. There is a eternal bond and calm oeace only we share. When he could talk before the ravages of the illness made it impossible for speech. I'd be by his side and ask how he was that day. He always said to me "Better now that your here". In times of life struggles aline in essense, I'd find myself visiting without sharing the struggle but he knew and it seemed the calm we shared just being together helped me internalize the struggle and find my way. This lovely lady is so incredibly brave and honorable. May she always find calm in her deepest quitest moments. Love is protecting her and guiding her on an exciting new beginning. It at no time is replacing what was, but is enhancing what is ahead in life.. Blessings special lady. May you fly free in the calm of your new beginnings. Blessings. Thank you for this very personal talk. Beautiful.

So 30+ years of marriage isn't enough? She doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. She deserves to be happy. Whether she found love love one year of three after his death, that doesn't diminish what they had in any way, shape or form. They spent a lifetime together...how many couples get divorce within the first few years of their marriage, if they make it that far? They were a beautiful couple, but I'm sure he would want her to be happy; if you really love someone, you want them to be happy..so good for her. I adore Patrick Swayze. He was an amazing actor and multitalented too.

Glad to hear you beat it but nomatter how hard you try nomatter what treatments or how much prayer is there some cancers just cannot be beaten but to not try is to give up so no matter the type everyone needs to fight until they can no longer giving in to the relief of death after constant horrible pain is all that is left to anyone who dies with that severe pain. I have been a nurse for 42 yrs. I have taken care of many patients who tried so hard along with others who didn't try and they both died or in some cases lived regardless it seems with all the knew treat,ents and knowledge we would be able to cure most things but sadly not enough I have held the hand or a child when they are dying and it is heart breaking and I pray and hope those who are suffering find their own way to deal with the cancer and pain, esp whenit is not curable and we need to respect their wishes. It is the only decision and or control they have left over their life. May god bless each

I was in tears... I needed this! She has helped me. My hubby just died recently and I can relate to every single thing she said... My hubby and 8 did everything together too. Part of me is missing now. I'm struggling to transition to doing everything by myself. A lot of emptiness... The only thing different for her and me is... Money! Financial security. I have none. So that is a big stress on me. I pray for God to sustain me and give me my needs.

Having said that he was able 2 have a life most dream of. I can say as a nurse, pediatric specialty after 42 yrs & counting, I can name so many children whose family would gladly have given all so their child could have had just one more day. They have 98% of my heart the rest with Patrick & others who have reached the end of a horrific battle as well. As an adult who may or may or may not be feeling what they claim to be feeling their emotions r no less painful but the children & their siblings, parents,friends,cousins, us nurses etc. .makes it hard 4 me to want 2 hear adults who were blessed with reaching adulthood, with having a family, a true love whine about a death of someone no matter star or not who had all that time on earth. To those of u who will have a fit over my comment, u do not see us nurses or families of children who did not get a chance 2 grow up to have their first kiss 2 have a career or public career an actor so many could enjoy them as we did Patrick & I am not taking anything away from him & his immediate family or fans it just sickens me 2 see someone milk a death sell his personal items without his family even getting a chance 2 keep something special 2 them. If what many who knew him say is true. If not I apologize but I do not take back my words a childs chance for one more birthday his family planning a 2 yr old party firsts day of school, sweet sixteen, drivers. Lic worry. Etc. in comparison her milking tears and money from his fans disgust me. Let Patrick rest in peace and respect if he wanted a book written he had plenty of time to have done so, at least one sharing his illness when he was still fighting it, he could of done it as he went and I do not believe she needs money, she already has a new income from a husband, may she experience exactly what she gave to with Patrick. With the horses she could easily made a living doing that or teaching dancing, or any number of jobs with all the reach of Patrick & his family. Again I hope I am wrong as I have heard some really harsh things from her treatment of Patrick, hope not but if u want to help others with his disease, start with children then adults, share it none kept for profit none. I do hope for all of sadden by his passing 2 remember him with love and think about what he would have wanted, to start with the kids, then younger people. His heart was one 2 cherish not sure about his ex wife she is now moved on to a completely different life & man. I wish her the best Meanwhile please consider the babies,children,teenagers, & young adults by donating to the official website or to St. Jude's Children Hospital they will send u whatever booklets info u want. So let Patrick be remembered for his heart and start a donation account to be set aside 4 research & families dealing with similar issues any kind of cancer. Bless u Patrick 4 all the joy, kindness and fun u brought our way. I hope after we are all gone, there will remain a funding set up in his name. Please think of the kids, research and families of the children who know only heart ache always. Thanks

Patrick and his wife were my husband and my inspiration when Greg was fighting his cancer. Greg and I always loved Patrick's acting. They had stories about Patrick and his wife and how they were fighting his cancer. They talked about making smoothies, so we made smoothies also. Patrick vowed he was going to beat the disease, and Greg vowed he would too. Greg died November 4th 2008. Patrick died a month later. I do know all we can do as a wife is to spend time with them and love them and comfort them. Grief is hard, and it can take a long time to get through it. I am glad I feel Greg's spirit when I think of him. So why are people putting this lady down for remarrying ? I have had boyfriends since Greg died. They have died now too. Life is short. We need to show our fellow man love and kindness. We do not know how long we have here. I now have cancer also. I am fighting it, but I am not afraid to die. The world is a mess with the Corona-virus. I feel the people who are dead are better off. If I don't die from cancer, I might get the Corona-virus and die. Just find Jesus 🙏 and be ready whatever happens. Love and peace to everyone.

Wow~ Lisa, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for making that uplifting , encouraging video. I had a lot of my thoughts of Patrick reaffirmed- his love for animals, his easy going way, his positive attitude, and his Love for you , to name just a few. I really LIKED him! And now to know that he was animal lover like myself, is just a "cherry" on top!!! I am so happy that you two had such a wonderful marriage. Yes, the world already misses him. Quite often I think -- "no one puts Baby in the corner"! And it makes me smile. That movie was awesome!!! I watch reruns of it all the time! Thank you for sharing your wonderful husband with all of us. I understand what you mean about the grief --- my husband ,who was a 2 tour Viet Nam Vet , with severe PTSD, took his life. That shook me out of my boots and my life is still so confusing - I want to hear his voice again, feel his smooth soft skin, look into his gorgeous blue eyes, play with his awesome beard, and just feel like I was where I was meant to be. 🙏 AMEN
