I am going through a similar situation with my Grandmother and the stress that comes along with trying to care for her. I can tell you that there is Government assistance out there that can help with caring for your Grandmother, so this is definitely something your family should look into ASAP. As much as we want to be the ones to care for our loved ones, we need professional help to keep us from going insane!
The second thing you should do is maybe speak to your mom and get the rest of the family involved. Maybe you can all take turns (as stated above) so your mom won't feel like the burden is on her shoulders alone. This may help with her mood, which in turn, will help with the mood in the household! She might be feeling alone and depressed. Watching her mom go through this illness doesn't make it any better.
I hope this helps a little. It's a tough situation to be in and I feel awful for anyone who has to go through it. Best of luck to you.
