I am so sorry for your loss.
I am new here and I've spotted this because you posted it four years to the day after I lost my own mother very suddenly. She had heart attack and I too had many questions at the time as to whether she was in pain and how long it took. Four years on, I now have an inner peace and I feel as though she was not alone even though physically she was. The reason I feel this way is because I have lost my father and I was honoured to be with him as he left this world. I felt a peaceful aura around me as he passed away and for some reason I said to him "Gramps and your dad are here for you, you can go now". He then slipped away. I must also point out that I do not have a religion and so this feeling was a total shock to me when it happened.
I feel confident that my dad was there with my mum holding her hand as she also slipped away. If I was to keep holding on to the doubts then I would never be able to get over her death and where would that get me?
You and I will never really know the truth so we have to accept as best we can what happened. That said, I too, looked up how my mother died and all it did was made me feel guilty which is one of those processes of grief. Maybe this is something you need to do but be careful of misleading information.
Have a good cry when you need it, have a good shout when you need it; don't feel guilty about feeling guilty. It's quite normal to feel even more hurt, pain frustration, anger,sorrow after a few months when you start to miss your mother even more but this is OK and will pass.
I feel your pain because I've been there and I know how strongly you must feel. I also know that old phrase of time being a healer and I hate that term but it is true. I still cry and I still miss my mum however I do not need to know the ins and outs of her death anymore.
All the very best to you.
