I think you need to realise that parents are human beings and it is natural for humans to feel sad and worried about things. You can't expect her to wear a mask all the time. She is at home, communicating with her lord, letting out all her pain to Allah.
Sometimes people go through weak moments. This is what looks to be happening in your mothers case. However, perhaps you could be the one to be optimistic around and inspire confidence in her.
