From what it sounds like, you mom loved you and the family very much. You sound as if to already be on the right path since you understand what she was likely going through. There wasn't anything you could do to help the situation other than what you did. It was likely difficult for her to let you guys go, but you have to understand that it was in everyone best interest... She's no longer in pain, the family is able to begin the grieving process knowing shes no longer in pain, and so forth. But no one is rushing you to "get over it", she was your mom and best friend, take your time, smile, and be happy because it's probably what she would want.
