Samantha Busch Shares Inspiring Message About Dealing With Grief

Samantha Busch, the widow of NASCAR legend Kyle Busch, has inspired the motorsports community over the past month with her courage and honesty.

Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion, sadly passed away on May 21 due to severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis. Prior to his unexpected death, he was found unresponsive while in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord, North Carolina.

Earlier this week, Samantha Busch shared a Instagram post about how her grief can't stop her from parenting her two children, Brexton and Lennix. It was a beautiful message that might resonate with plenty of other people.

"I lost the love of my life, my person, and my best friend. The man I built a life with and the person I thought I would grow old with. But I’m still Mom. Grief doesn’t stop parenting. The morning still comes. There are questions to answer, tears to wipe away, races to get to, bedtime stories to read, and two kids trying to make sense of a loss that no child should ever have to face," Busch wrote. "People keep asking me how I stay so strong. The truth is, I don’t feel strong most days. I miss Kyle every second of every day. I want to curl up in a ball and cry. But I’m a mom. Brexton and Lennix still need hugs, comfort, laughter, routines, and someone to help carry their hurting hearts while mine is shattered.

"When your children are hurting, something inside of you just takes over. You get up early, have a good cry, and then go make the pancakes. You answer the questions the best you can when you still have so many of your own. You smile for them when you’re in physical pain because you miss him so much. You do everything you can so they can keep being kids and not carry the full weight of all this. As a mom, all you want is for your children to feel safe, loved, and protected, even when your own world has fallen apart. They are the reason I keep putting one foot in front of the other. For Brexton. For Lennix. For him."
