In an Instagram post on Wednesday, June 24, Samantha shared photos of her and Kyle's two kids and spoke candidly about how her life as a mom has changed since her husband's death.
"I lost the love of my life, my person, and my best friend," she wrote. "The man I built a life with and the person I thought I would grow old with. But I'm still Mom."
Noting that "grief doesn't stop parenting," Samantha said she is still tasked with being a mother every day despite how she's feeling.

"The morning still comes," she said. "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."
While people may think that she is staying strong, the mom of two revealed, "I don't feel strong most days."
"I miss Kyle every second of every day," she said. "I want to curl up in a ball and cry. But I'm a mom."
Samantha said her two kids "still need hugs, comfort, laughter, routines," and "someone to help carry their hurting hearts."

The mom of two said that there is something that takes over her when her children are hurting, as all she wants as a mom is for them to "feel safe, loved, and protected."
"You get up early, have a good cry, and then go make the pancakes," wrote Samantha. "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."
Samantha concluded her post by saying that she and Kyle's children "are the reason I keep putting one foot in front of the other."
"For Brexton. For Lennix. For him. ❤️."
