To Allah we belong and unto Him we will return.
its a very difficult time to loose someone in a family especially such a close relative as a mother
So you could maybe use this time to bring your family closer together if you wasn't before, make dua for them and the mother in her grave
And keep an eye on the family check in on them, as many people can fall into severe deppression after the death of a loved one (deppression is no joke & can lead onto further serious issues)
(You don't have to do all this just suggestions that can be helpfull but would defo just remind them they will be reunited with their loved ones if Allah permits it etc etc etc Then you talk more about Allah changing the subject to not sadden them more)
