I'm very sorry for your loss. And, even if you did see it coming, so to speak, it can still be very upsetting when it actually happens. Stress is a huge IBS trigger -- and the death of a loved one is definitely very stressful. Treat it like any other attack -- go back to the break-the-cycle diet, use anti-spasmodics and/or Imodium.
By the way, hot liquid can be stimulating to the gut -- when I'm having a D attack any kind of tea makes it a thousand times worse. If you don't have reflux, you might try peppermint since it has antispasmodic properties. Otherwise, I'd stick to plain lukewarm water.
I hope you feel better soon.
