NASCAR driver Kyle Busch's widow, Samantha Busch, has shared candid Instagram posts describing the grief and loneliness she has experienced since his sudden death more than two months ago. Her posts offer a rare, personal glimpse into how the family is coping with the loss of the NASCAR legend, whose death was later attributed to pneumonia and sepsis.

In her Instagram Stories, posted on a Sunday, Samantha described some nights alone as "almost unbearable" and wrote that Kyle remains "the last thing I see when I close my eyes and the first thing when I wake up", accompanying the message with photos of the couple taken by her bedside. The emotional posts follow earlier tributes paid to Busch after the cause of his death was revealed.
