So sorry for the loss of your dad I lost mine a few years ago now but it was a release for him as he was suffering from end stage dementia I was totally devoted to my dad but I took forward what he had taught me in life and got on with living.
Your mum is doing what is necessary for her she knows she is now alone but life has to go on.
I had my own family and grandchildren to think about so even though it was hard at times I knew my dad would wish me to get on with life. I obviously can't see him anymore but I feel he is still with me.
Certainly no need to make any big decisions now I don't know how old your mum is but she may never need help not everyone does.
Wishing you the best for the future it will get easier.
