I call this a beautiful prayer because it establishes a connection between you and your mother in heaven.

Will my mother hear these prayers?
Yes, your mother will hear these prayers. Spirits are conscious of everything that goes on in the physical world.
All your prayers for your mothers are being answered by God. However, your mother is aware of everything that goes on.
Trust me, she is deeply grateful to you for it.
Can I say the prayers on any given day?
Yes, you can say these prayers on any given day.

Can I light 1 candle to light my mother in heaven?
It is not necessary to light a candle for your mother. The soul is made of light and can guide itself into the afterlife.
The inner light of your mother will become her light. This will guide her into heaven.
But you can do it as a memorial for her and to show the respect and love you have for her.
Your mother is with God!
Be rest assured that your mother is with God. I know that you miss her.
The void will never be filled. However, there is hope that you will meet with her again because she is now resting in the bosom of God.
Therefore, keep praying for her. This keeps her memory fresh in your heart, and also shows a sign of the love you have for her.
