What do you tell her? If you have five years to say good-bye or no time at all, the most important thing to do is to tell your mother you love her. Tell her how much you love her in every form of the word. You write it, feed it, squeeze it. You telepathically send it.
Convey it when you hold her hand. But you must say it. Aloud. Let her know that you’ll be fine without her. That you will be sad when she leaves, yes. But you will be a responsible human being who will be capable of putting a roof over your head and food on your plate. You will eat, you will exercise, you will take care of yourself. Tell her not to worry about you being unmarried, that you have found someone, and if doesn’t work, you may find someone else.
A child writes the letter to his/her mother trying to convey how he/she will miss her and how much he/she love her. The letter contains a wide range of emotion from the sadness of her leaving to the happiness of how much you love each other, or the letter could be that of a son/daughter writing to his/her mother who has recently passed away.

Dear Mom,
I just wanted to write you a letter to say thank you for all that you were to me. You were amazing, and I miss you so much already, even though only two months have passed. Your life gave me life. I was an infant conceived in your womb, carried lovingly by you for nine months and brought into the world with great pain and joy by you. You cuddled me, nursed me, changed me, rocked me to sleep. You cooed with me and gently encouraged me to take my first steps. You sang for me, prayed for me and laughed with me. Your love was the strong foundation that my life was launched upon.
Thank you for your love and your tender care. You loved me in the midst of your pain and suffering as you watched the love of your life slowly die in front of your eyes. My first two years of starting life were being celebrated even as you were living the last two years of daddy’s life. You are a strong woman for sure. I couldn’t conceive of what it meant to lose my daddy, but you carried me through what I did not know I was living through. You held me over the casket, and I blew on daddy’s face to awaken him. He did not get up…but you had to get up the next day and the next and the next to care for a young toddler who was learning to trust, learning to speak, learning to live.
Thank you for the effort you put into me at a time when you felt like you wanted to die yourself. Many times you probably wanted to lie down and stay there for a week, but little ____(name of sender) was too active to let you do so. Thanks for getting up and building into my young life.
I would like to close this letter with a quote that touched me in the movie Interstellar-
“Love isn’t something we invented. It’s observable, powerful; it has to mean something… Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.” And because love is an event inside of me that unfolds whenever I think of you, I do not say “Mom, I loved you so much” but rather “Mom, I love you so much.” Goodbye.
Yours lovingly,

Dear Mom,
You were a wonderful, creative and deeply caring woman. You were my first love, as probably most mothers are for their children. And now you are gone. I envy religious people who find solace in the idea of paradise, an afterlife or a soul being reborn. Although I don’t believe your consciousness will be transferred into another body, that doesn’t mean I believe your consciousness is lost or your life to not have mattered. Who you were, what you created, but even more importantly, how much you loved — all that counts. I believe that love is our contribution to the evolution of life itself. I like to believe that I am like you in many ways. The quality I accredit to you and that I am most grateful for is the ability to love and be loved. And therefore, the most valuable thing you left me is not your art; it is the people you loved who will continue to be a part of my life. For this reason, you had a fortunate life, and you knew it.
