Simply let Mom talk about it without agreeing or trying to argue her out of it. Let her know you are enjoying your time together now. Katya (love that name!), you are so right as well, a mini vacation may be just what she needs. I always think...denial is a tool, it is working for her right now.

Nothing strenuous or expensive: a weekend in a nearby hotel, a few days in a spa. The mother seems to long for a holiday, for a break from her terrible situation. Maybe a break would be good for Jamie too. Am I the only one here who thought of suggesting a mini-vacation? Nothing strenuous or expensive: a weekend in a nearby hotel, a few days in a spa.

For example, might she be buying airline tickets which are not refundable? In that case, someone should put a stop to it. When Jamie says the mother is planning trips, is she implying losing money?
