Inna-Lillahi-Wa-Inna-Ilaihi Rajiun (To Allah We Belong And To Him We Shall Return)
I know this is not easy but inshallah have sabr and know that inshallah she has gone to a better place. Indeed She and we all are amanat of Allah and loan to each other here, He can take His loan back whenever He desires.
The best thing you can do is to help her increase her scale of good deeds. Prophet
said: "When a person dies all his good deeds cease except for three: a continuous charity, beneficial knowledge, and a righteous son who supplicates for him." [Muslim]
Be a righteous son who lives according to Islam. Who gives zakah, sadaqa, fasts, prays, is kind to others, and the best Muslim he can be. You are from your mother, whatever good deed you do, inshallah she too will get the reward for it.
Another prophetic narration reads that the Prophet
said: "The righteous deeds that continue to benefit a believer after his death include the knowledge that he teaches and spreads among others, a righteous son whom he leaves behind, or a copy of the Quran that he bequeaths to his inheritors, or a mosque that he builds, or a rest house that he builds for the wayfarers, or a canal of water that he digs for the benefit of others, or a charity that he gives out of his property during his life while he is sound of health. He will continue to receive reward for all these even after his death." [Ibn Maajah and Ibn Khuzaymah]
The virtues of such deeds lie in the reward which continues even after the death of the person; it does not cease at his death. The degree of reward is not similar for all the deeds, rather it varies from one act of charity to another based on its type, effects and the need of people for that charity.
What you can do inshallah is invest not only for yourself but also for your mother. Support building of a new Masjid, Islamic center, Islamic school, hafiz program, planting a tree, or anything that lasts a long long time. Do it on behalf of your mother. So long as the masjid stands, any good deed done there will earn her reward. Any knowledge anyone learns and acts on, she will be reward, Any knoweldge that is passed onto others and they act on, she will be rewarded inshallah. Eid Al-Adha is coming up, sacrifice an animal on her behalf in one of the needy countries.

Inna Lilla he wa inna eleheh rajaioun.............. May Allah give you Sabur at this especially sad time, and grant your mother a place in Jahaana.. Ameen.
imsad
But remember what bro woodrow said - at least your mother wont have to suffer if it was the other way around and you dying. Inshallah i hope Allah will grant you patience and ease your pain. We dont realise how precious our mothers are until they are not with us anymore.The brothers and sisters have already answered your question and i dont think i can add anymore to it except to say do LOTS of Du'as.
