My brother was hit by a car and died about a year ago - I wrote about it in the tilted magazine if you're interested in details. We were pretty close.
About your mom, of course she's depressed! She's got cancer and she might die. I know it makes it harder for you to be around her, but don't expect her to feel any other way than she does, and don't expect YOU to feel any other way than you do. If she's depressed, say Yeah, you know, this really sucks!!! Instead of trying to cheer her up. Sometimes (in fact most times) people don't want to be fixed, they just want to be heard and understood.
Best of luck, hon - this is a tough situation but I know you'll come through it okay.
