Summary
- Samantha Busch shares the pain of sleeping alone in bed.

Over two months after the death of two-time NASCAR champion Kyle Busch, his widow, Samantha Busch, has shared intimate details of her grieving process. She described the nights as 'unbearable,' particularly when her children are asleep and she faces the silence alone.
Samantha revealed she sleeps on her side of the bed with a body pillow and one of Kyle's shirts, a ritual that highlights his absence. She expressed deep sorrow that the shirt no longer carries his scent, a painful reminder of his passing. The couple had two children together, Brexton and Lennix.
NASCAR announced Kyle's death on May 21, following a hospitalization for a severe illness later identified as sepsis. The racing organization memorialized him as a rare, Hall of Fame-caliber talent. Samantha has continued to share moments of her life without Kyle, including tributes and reflections on creating new memories.
