Pray the same concern to God, but ask that ultimately his will be done.
Whatever time our Heavenly Father intends for her to go, he knows best. He knows what/who he needs to take away from us, and when to do so, in order to build up our dependence on him (or develop another trait within us—and not just you, but the family as a whole); he knows where he needs to move us in life to strengthen weaknesses in our character. Good, bad, painful, or joyful situations, they all work for our good.
At least you have a clean conscience that you've never abandoned your mother, but carried out your duty to her as a daughter until the end (whenever that may actually be). Trust that God will be with you regardless of how this impacts your living situation. Whether she lives another 10 years or 10 seconds, this isn't the end and you won't be left alone.
At some point in everyone's life, we all need to separate from loved ones; for some people, death will separate them; for others, they must separate while they're still alive, maybe they never come in contact again; for others, it will be permanent even after death (believers and non-believers won't be living in paradise together). Take comfort that both of you are enduring as Christians to the end and as Christians we will reunite with our loved ones even after death—whether it's in the grave (Sheol), the millennial reign or on the new earth.
