so afraid of being a burden that at times she asks Hashem for the unspeakable

I’m so sorry that your mother feels like she’s a burden. My mother (who is much younger than yours but has numerous health issues that require care) often feels the same — regardless of how often we and her grandchildren try to make her feel like she isn’t. Nonetheless, at least I’m sure that my mother wants to go on to see her grandkids get married. I hope your mother finds her joie de vivre again.
