Patrick Swayze’s Wife Finally Removes Wedding Ring
It’s been two years since the actor tragically passed away but his wife kept her wedding ring on. Now, finally, she has decided that it is time to take it off. She is doing it after having added Swayze to her name so in some way, she still keeps him and his memory with her always. They were married for 34 years and when he died, Lisa Niemi Swayze wanted at least the ring to keep him alive for her.
A few months ago, she felt that it was time to remove it because it was after all, a symbol of being married to him in a physical sense. So she changed her name and with that, she’s kept him with her. She also feels that she is connected to him and this goes way beyond just a physical wedding ring. In an interview, she says that her connection is even deeper than before so maybe now, she does not feel the need of a ring to feel that.
Her book about him, Worth Fighting For: Love, Loss and Moving Forward is about their lives together, the ups and the downs and how she loved him, no matter what. She feels that to keep a relationship going, you have to hang in there and not give up, no matter how bad things are. Patrick had a drinking problem at one point of time and she did move out but came back when he turned over a new leaf. Then, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and in a few years, he was gone. It’s been hard for her but she’s come out of it and she’s willing to go on with him being a part of her.
