Tonks's Mother Lost Her Entire Family – Including Tonks Herself – In A Few Months
From Redditor u/watamuforever:
I'm re-reading Deathly Hallows and realized that Andromeda Tonks lost almost her entire family within a few months. Her husband Ted was killed by snatchers, and then shortly after Tonks and Lupin die in the Battle of Hogwarts. And if she had any feeling left for Bellatrix, then she lost a sister too. Imagine how heart-breaking that must have been to be caring for your baby grandson, while grieving the loss of almost your entire family too.

From Redditor u/relativistictrain:
It's probably linked to the memories you use to create the patronus, and the things you want most. For instance, Tonks & Snape's patronuses were strongly affected by who they wanted/wanted to be with.
