Swayze widow 'preparing to break silence'

Patrick Swayze's widow is preparing to break her silence following his death from pancreatic cancer last month, reports People.

Lisa Niemi, who was married to the Dirty Dancing star for 34 years, is reportedly scheduled to speak at a roundtable discussion as part of the Women's Conference 2009 next Tuesday.

The topic of the discussion is 'Grief, Healing and Resilience'.

Niemi, 54, will speak alongside Elizabeth Edwards and Susan St. James, who have both lost children in accidents.

The annual conference, to be hosted by Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be streamed live on the organisation's website at 8am PST.

Swayze passed away on September 14, aged 50.
